Keto Tabouleh (paleo + vegan)

Keto Tabouleh (paleo + vegan)

The classic Middle Eastern salad made keto with simple, fresh low-carb ingredients. Also referred to as tabbouleh or taboūleh.

We’ve been eager…

Breaded Shrimp Salad with Chipotle Mayo (keto, low-carb + dairy-free)

Shrimp skewers breaded with almond flour and spices, fried in coconut oil. Served alongside salad with a rich chipotle mayo sauce. I’m not big on New Year’s Resolutions (we dedicated a whole podcast on how disruptive resolutions can be to our overall health here), but I do see the value in staying focused on the…

Keto Potato Salad… That Isn’t

Keto Potato Salad… That Isn’t

A low-carb, keto + paleo “potato” salad… with no potatoes at all! Made with clean, low-carb, keto ingredients. Can be made vegan, too. Low-carb, high-fat, keto and loving it.

Roasted Butternut & Arugula with Peach Rosemary Dressing

POWER POSSE POST BY SUZANNE HENDRIKS I love meeting new people. And, when I meet them? I know that there is no thought in their mind that I battled with a life threatening disease. 10 years ago, I was an energy filled, saucy university student who happened to go to the doctor for a stomach…

Pretty Poppy Seed and Strawberry Coleslaw

Pretty Poppy Seed and Strawberry Coleslaw

There are days where I just feel… unpretty. Days when my clothes are too tight, my hair has a mind of its own, and a ginormous zit has taken up camp on the middle of my chin. Days where I feel awkward, unattractive, and anything but fiercely feminine. Where all I want to do is lounge…

Roasted Red Pepper Bean Salad

Roasted Red Pepper Bean Salad

Did you like beans when you were a kid? Gosh, I hated them. They were so… granola. I refused to eat them on the basis that my Dad didn’t like them. Same goes with beets. That man hates his beets. Instead, my proteins of choice were things like turkey, kielbasa, fried eggs and; my favorite…
