Welcome to our (mostly) unscripted and unedited podcast! (for now, it’s called: So I Was Listening To This Podcast The Other Day….)

We are the food-loving Sister-In-Law Duo Paulette Kydd, Registered Holistic Nutritionist and Sarah Kydd, teacher and ‘guinea pig’.

We love discussing ideas and all things related to health, including mindset, self-care, nutrition.

Join us as we share coffee, laughs, recipes and random thoughts tossed in for good measure.

You’ll leave each conversation feeling motivated and with actionable strategies that you can use right away to improve your health and help you stop feeling fat, foggy, and fatigued.

In this first episode, we tell the story of our first (very awkward) weekend together and how it was the start of an unlikely and unexpected friendship.

We share how we have both benefited from changing the way we eat and live, and how we help other women do the same thing without following some strict diet or giving up their favourite foods.

If you’re a woman over 35 who is sick and tired of feeling fat, foggy and fatigued (or know someone who is!)… this podcast is for you!

Noodles are such comfort food. Easy to prepare, so versatile and delicious. When I first started eating low carb, noodles were among the foods I missed the most. It took a while to find an alternative that I truly enjoyed. These Simple Low Carb Noodles fit the bill.

Shirataki or Konjac noodles are made from a root vegetable but have so much fibre in them, that they’re virtually carb-free. They have a distinct smell that you’ll notice when you open the package but they don’t taste like that so don’t worry!! Just rinse them well. They will take on the flavour of whatever sauce you choose.

There’s a secret to the preparation of these noodles that not everyone knows. It makes a difference in the texture if you dry pan-fry these noodles after rinsing! Just heat a pan with NO OIL and add the rinsed/drained noodles. Let them cook for a few minutes until they stop steaming. This improves the texture and makes them less chewy.

I love sheet pan meals. Meat, veggies and fat all cooking together in one pan. Easy assembly. Easy cleanup. The juices from the chicken in this Sheet Pan Hemp Seed Chicken and Veggies, flavours the cauliflower and broccoli!

It’s a great weeknight meal that you can easily put together and let bake while you wind down from your busy day.

I was craving apple ‘something’ the other day so I decided to try this out…an apple cinnamon chaffle. It definitely satisfied that craving, and with only a 1/4 of an apple, it’s still low carb!

A chaffle is a simple recipe of 1/2 cup cheese (I like mozzarella), 1 tbsp almond flour, 1 tsp baking powder and 1 egg…with whatever additions you want. Sounds crazy but it’s delicious!

Make a bunch ahead of time and freeze so that you have some for a quick breakfast or snack. However, it only takes a few minutes from start to finish so as long as you have the ingredients on hand you could easily whip up a chaffle in the morning.

When I was kid, I would start salivating when I knew my mom was cooking Hamburger Helper for dinner. Did you grow up eating this too?? It’s delicious but like most boxed foods, not necessarily the healthiest thing to feed your family.

Here’s a list of the ingredients:
Enriched Pasta (wheat flour, niacin, ferrous sulfate, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), Corn Starch, Salt, Wheat Flour, Modified Whey, Onion*, Color (caramel color, annatto extract), Yeast Extract, Potassium Chloride, Natural Flavor, Vegetable Oil (canola, soybean and/or sunflower oil), Spice, Hydrolyzed Corn Protein, Monoglycerides, Sugar, Beef Stock, Beef Fat, Silicon Dioxide (anticaking agent).*Dried

This Mushroom and Swiss Burger Casserole somehow tastes just like Hamburger Helper but made with better ingredients, as long as you’re ok to eat dairy, and it’s low carb too.

This Low Carb Citrus Carnitas recipe is one of my favourite ways to cook pork.  It’s super flavourful and versatile. It can be eaten as a taco, on top of salad or alongside your favourite vegetables. It would also be great in an omelet.

I am providing the instructions for the traditional stovetop method which is great, but it takes some time. You need to be around the kitchen for a couple of hours.

You’ll also find the instructions for the Instant Pot Version which takes less time. The result is just as delicious!

In both cases, the flavour improves after the pork has sat in the fridge until the next day!
