Fathead pizza might be one of my favorite keto meals. It feels so indulgent, but totally fits into my keto macros. It's not an every night meal for me, but it is perfect for a Friday or Saturday night in watching Netflix ;) This dough can also be used for breadsticks, pesto breadsticks, or cheese bread. And if you leave the seasonings out, you could also use it for a dessert crust or a base for keto cinnamon rolls.....YUM! The recipe is super simple and literally only takes minutes to throw together. If you love pizza, it's a MUST try! This recipe will make one 12-13" diameter pizza.
For the pizza pictured, I topped it with shredded mozzarella, 5 cheese Italian blend, uncured natural pepperoni, fresh Roma tomatoes and basil from my garden, and some cracked black pepper.
Read moreIf you are looking for fall apart, tender pork ribs with lots of flavor, you have definitely come to the right place! This recipe is one of my favorites, and it's based on a recipe my dad created using a boiling/grilling method, but here we are using the Instant Pot and oven instead. You could easily finish them off on the grill though, if you'd like.
Read moreThis recipe was created by my beautiful mother. Not only is she a wonderful cook, but super creative as well. As a busy mom of two kids, she was always looking for ways to create meals for us that were delicious, but also quick and easy. This was one that she made for us, and it was always a hit in our house. She is nice enough to let me share this recipe with all of you :)
Read moreIf you love Mediterranean inspired food, this will hit the spot. For those of you wondering what farro is, it is a whole grain wheat, similar to a wheat berry or barley. It has a nice hearty texture to it. I love this combination of flavors and textures, and it's a great filling option, especially if you are looking for a meatless meal option.
Read moreI recently got my first Instant Pot for Christmas. I had seen so many great reviews and posts online from people loving their magic pots that I just had to get one of my own and try it. This was my second creation for my Instant Pot. I hope you love it as much as I do. Hearty, comforting, and so yummy.
Read moreThe crock pot is one of my favorite kitchen appliances, especially in those warm Summer months when you don't want to heat up the house with the stove or oven. This recipe is super simple, tasty, and doesn't have a lot of added fat or calories.
Read moreI've never been a fan of traditional egg salad or plain yellow mustard, but I love eggs and how nutritious they are. So, I set out to create a healthier version of the classic dish, sans the extra fat, calories, and yellow mustard. I hope you enjoy this new classic as much as I do.
Read moreI've never been a big fan of Summer. I'm more of a Winter girl, personally. But, one of the things I have to admit that I really do love about Summer is all of the amazing produce that is in season. Strawberries, squash, corn, avocados.....the list goes on. And, then there's the tomato. I mean, who doesn't love a tomato in some shape or form?! If you love tomatoes, or you have a home garden and have lots of tomatoes that you are looking to use, you will LOVE this recipe. It's simple, healthy, and delicious!
Read moreI'm in love with pesto, and it pairs so well with chicken. This recipe is super simple to make and so delicious! I use my favorite pesto, which is, surprisingly, a Kirkland brand pesto from Costco. It is soooooo good. But you can use any pesto that you like.
Read moreMustard is one of my favorite sauce bases for meats....especially on pork and lamb. This sauce could be used on just about any smoked or grilled meat. In this recipe, the sauce crusts slightly, but still is soft beneath the outer crust. If you use this sauce on a larger cut of meat like a pork shoulder or pork butt, the sauce will form more of a full-on crust, that is really delicious, due to the longer cooking time. This recipe also pairs really well with my Savory Roasted Potatoes.
Read moreThese potatoes are super yummy. They caramelize beautifully and totally feel like a treat. But, when eaten in moderation, they fit perfectly into a healthy eating plan. So delicious!
Read moreThese burgers are flavorful and delicious, and healthy too! They pack a flavor punch and can fit into just about any diet, including Keto and low carb diets.

Read moreThis is the second of my protein pancake recipe creations:) I know it's not Fall, but I firmly believe pumpkin is meant for every season! I love pumpkin, and I readily admit that I may have a problem. Maybe there should be a support group? Pumpkins Anonymous? But, I digress. If you are addicted to the deliciousness of pumpkin too, you just might love these wholesome, protein packed pancakes. Give them a try and let me know!
Read moreI've been looking for some different options for a quick and easy breakfast during the work week that I can make ahead on Sundays and just heat up in the mornings. My morning ritual of Greek yogurt and water can get a little stale. So, I came up with these lemon blueberry protein pancakes and the pumpkin spice buckwheat protein pancakes that I will be posting next. They are simple to make and these lemon blueberry pancakes are not only packed with protein, they are also low calorie and gluten free. I hope that you enjoy them!
