I love coffee…

I LOVE coffee. Maybe a little too much. I've been known to bring my coffee maker with me on vacation so that I can brew my favourite coffee, my way. Crazy, I know. But I'm going to keep doing it anyway.   I've been drinking it since I was a kid. I remember hanging out...

Cravings: Why Willpower Isn’t Enough

Always hungry??

Are you always hungry??  You’ve just finished eating your dinner...a plateful of pasta and meat sauce with garlic bread and caesar salad. But all you can think is ‘I want more’ or ‘I need dessert...what do I have in the fridge?’ You should be satisfied but you’re not....

Keto Scalloped ‘Potatoes’

  A recipe for Keto Scalloped Potatoes that has NO POTATOES. It's made with Daikon which is actually a radish. A 1 cup serving of a typical scalloped potatoes recipe, has 21 grams of net carbs. This recipe has only 5.5 grams! That's a huge difference! My kids do...

Dairy-Free Sunbutter Fat Bombs

When I first started eating low carb, I ate fat bombs daily (usually multiple times a day). They really helped to curb my cravings until I became fat adapted and no longer needed to rely on willpower to make better food choices. Sometimes they were a snack. Sometimes...
