Buns? On A Low-Carb, Ketogenic Diet? But I thought buns were made of wheat. And wheat is a big No-No on keto, right? Because flour = carbs and all that. Am I mistaken? No, if you asked yourself these questions about typical buns, you would not be wrong. But these Omega Buns I received from Daily Bread LLC are not your run-of-the-mill bread product! And I have to tell you, I’m impressed! Not only was…

Fake Meat. It’s What’s For Dinner At least if Bill Gates has anything to say about it. In this recent article, authored by James Temple, contributor at MIT Technology Review, we learn that the Microsoft co-founder has written a new book titled, “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster.” According to Temple, this book outlines Gates’ plan for “the tech breakthroughs and sweeping policies we’ll need to take on global warming.” (Global warming is an entirely separate…

WINE IS ESSENTIAL Am I right? These are crazy, scary times. And for some of us, when we feel stressed, a little something alcoholic can help take the edge off a bit. Hell, it’s something we can do in the privacy of our own homes, so why not? But if you’re trying to stay true to your keto diet, then you’ve probably wondered if drinking alcohol will throw you out of ketosis. Well, the truth…

This simple recipe for chocolate whipped cream saved my life (well, not literally…but kinda!) the first time I followed a low-carb diet! It was W-A-Y back in 1982 when I was only 20 years old. My husband (at the time) was in the U.S. Army and had just been deployed to Germany. Our two-year-old son and I had not been approved for an accompanied tour (yet) so, we moved ‘back home’ to Utah while we…

So I feel like I can trust what he says. He is also a big fan of utilizing IF (Intermittent Fasting) to achieve fat burning and his results speak for themselves. I mean, just look at those abs! The other thing I love…

Ok, I admit it…I have not tried making this keto pizza recipe myself…yet. That will come in a future video where I plan to compare several low-carb pizza recipes to vote for my favorite. However, I have a lot of experience with keto recipes and I will say that, based on that experience, and watching Chef Buck’s video here, I think this recipe for keto pizza looks like it has much more potential than most…

I think it was a video post in my feed on Facebook that first introduced me to the whole Chaffle phenomenon…though I don’t recall who the poster was. And I was so captivated by the idea that I immediately logged onto my Amazon account and searched for the Dash Mini Waffle Maker so that I could try making these low-carb waffles myself. Wow! What a revelation! These little puppies have become my new, favorite, go-to…

My Swedish Ancestry Is Calling To Me It definitely feels like Fall in Forest Grove, Oregon. The cooler weather makes me think about my Scandinavian ancestry. I’m Swedish on my mother’s side. Her mom, my grandmother, emigrated to the United States with her family in 1903.  Their home was in Stockholm. She passed away when my mom was only 15 years old, so I never got to meet her. But I heard lots of stories…

Flavors we sampled include: BONE BROTH Beef – Marrow Bones From Pasture-Raised, 100% Grass-fed & Finished Cattle.
