Majority of readers have heard about Atkins so they know about low carb. Keto is a step up from low carb. It is more strict. It has more requirements. Low carb is basically just keeping your carbs low whereas a Keto diet has requirements for the protein, fat, and carbohydrates for the day. When on Keto, you are trying to keep your carbs below 20 grams a day. Some need to follow a ketogenic diet for their health and they have to be more strict than others. I do low carb based on net carbs versus total carbs. This is...
Amazon has some unique items to put it nicely. Sometimes bordering on weird. It is similar to that weird part of Youtube you somehow get to but didn’t know how you got there. Sometimes the unique items from Amazon are just that. Unique. They don’t really do anything or even do what they are said to do. I would like to be what you call, a seasoned Amazon purchaser. I have been a prime member for over 5 years and an Amazon member since 2005. I have been around the block with them. I thought since I have made so...
The idea of danish liver paste, or liver paste in general can leave some people with a feeling of yuck, but I promise you it is really delicious. Liver paste can also be called pate or braunschweiger, but in Danish it is leverpostej. Liver Paste is definitely an acquired taste and it took me 27 years before trying it. This is after my mom would make it every year for Christmas it would be eaten all winter. If that irony liver taste is what you are worried about, DON’T! It does not taste livery at all. It tastes like onions,...
How is a Danish Christmas different from an American Christmas? Every country has their own traditions that are cherished and make their country feel special in a world where American tradition tends to overpower. It is important to keep your countries traditions alive, especially if you don’t live there anymore, like my mom. It keeps that connection to your roots and makes everything feel a bit more hygge around the holiday. Yup I said it. Hygge. America has decided to claim the Scandinavian term “hygge” and slap it on mugs and shirts trying to pass it off as their own. Unless...
If you live in cold state or country you know the agony of getting ready to leave, lock up and go out to your car and realize that it is covered in ice and snow and it will take forever to clean off. We don’t park our vehicles in the garage so we always have frost and snow on our windshield and the ice freezes onto the wiper blades. We live in MN and I recently was contacted by the company Frostguard to see if I wanted to do a review on their Windshield and Wiper Cover. It was...
I know we all that friend that likes Halloween a little bit too much. Like when people visit their house, they think they left Halloween decorations up too long. I am that friend. I like what I call “Classy Spooky”. It looks like spooky decor but it seems more like Victorian Vintage. The word spooky is just a catch-all. It is not technically scary looking items, but spooky is easier to explain items that most feel belong in a Halloween section. It can be hard to explain the appeal to someone that does not like that kind of stuff but...
