Hey…yeah I am back. I have been gone a while. I thought I would come back with a bang! A Korean keto bang! And boy can it be a spicy bang! In starting keto all over again my goal is to move into a different type of keto food and asian food seems to have grabbed me hook, line, and sinker. There are so many keto asian foods already readily available. If you like kim chi, unlike myself, you already have a great side dish. I thought I would start a bit simple with my big comeback and give you...
I know this doesn’t follow my standard layout for my blog posts but I wanted a location to be able to post some of my favorite design products or actual products used for the building of our house. If you managed to locate this page and did not come from my Instagram, please follow me on there for regular build and design updates. It will be separated into design inspiration and then actual purchases for the house. Affiliates links are included and I will be adding products regularly Scandinavian Dining Chairs
Some affiliates links posted Trying to find keto snacks can be difficult if you are on the go. Unless you want to live on beef jerky and almonds, trying to find snacks that do not need to be cold takes a bit of preparation. Whether you have your pantry stocked up or your car glove box has a stash ready to go. My only issue with having certain snacks in the pantry and stocking up is that they are there to eat any time. I had to keep Quest cookies out of the house because I would eat 2 every...
Being keto for almost 2 years, potatoes are definitely one of the items that I miss the taste of. They are mostly used for just filler but I really did like the taste of them. As potato chips. As french fries. Covered in cheese. Covered in cheese and bacon. So many ways….mmm potatoes. Anyways, I wanted to try making a recipe that used everything to make loaded potatoes but obviously minus the potatoes. Cauliflower has the odd quality where it can pretty much be used as a substitute for almost any vegetable. It does not really have that much...
When I started out doing keto, the first website and Youtube channel that I kept coming back to was Keto Connect. They have a great selection of simple recipes for people just starting out on keto and have great informative Youtube videos. I would definitely check them out. This recipe is adapted and adjusted from a Keto Connect High Fiber Muffin post they made a while back. It is also in their cookbook, which sold on Amazon. For them it was meant to be a breakfast muffin that was filling and delicious. I made it many many times but kept...
I have gone through a plethora of changes over my many years on this earth. I used to be an athlete in school. Worked out all the time and was in pretty good shape. Then college happened and I discovered triple whoppers and chicken fries. Thank god I only gained 15 pounds in college. Then I got a desk job where I sat for 10 plus hours a day, including driving. And last but not least, I had my daughter almost 5 years ago. My weight fluctuating from 185 all the way up to almost 240. Now if I have...
some affiliates links within post I have been making deviled eggs as my designated side dish for many different holidays since becoming keto. It is a great standard keto item, easily tracked, and everybody seems to enjoy deviled eggs. The hard part is that they are not always the easiest to make. I swear there is some sort of higher power that knows when deviled eggs are being made and make the shells impossible to peel. One trick that I have noticed seems to be helping recently is that right after you take the eggs off the heat and pour...
some affiliate links included Just like any diet or way of eating, preparation is key. If you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail. Oh I sounded so philosophical there. If you don’t have keto friendly foods on hand and ready to go, and you live with others that do not follow the diet you can be setting yourself for failure. Having a good base of foods can also be helpful when there is no time to plan for an actual meal, you miss grocery shopping day, or need a quick snack but want to keep it keto. This can...
I have tried a lot of keto pancakes. A lot. And most of them take a blender or some really extensive process that I don’t have to the time for. I usually have breakfast on my lunch hour so I only have so much time to make and eat. I have been playing with pancake recipes for a while and one that I was doing was pretty easy but there were just too many ingredients to try and make it taste sweet. I finally found one that is super easy and quick to make and only takes 4 ingredients. I...
For years and years we were taught that fat is the enemy. Sugars could be ignored but anything high in fat will make you fat. Research is now starting to show that that is not necessarily the case. Fat is no longer the enemy. Sugar is. Sugar has been found to be almost as addictive as heroin. ANY TYPE OF SUGAR. Even fruit and vegetable sugars. If you don’t believe that, try going completely sugar free for a week. My favorite keto diet phrase that I always tell people who are curious or unfamiliar with what keto is: “Don’t blame...
Being tall and a female, obviously, it can be hard to find winter clothing that actually fits and does what winter clothing is supposed to do. I usually end up having to buy mens winter wear. I always bought mens jackets growing up, and I had no idea that women’s and men’s zippers are opposite. Is that a thing? Why is that a thing?… I also happen to live in Minnesota, basically Canada. You know I sound like the movie Fargo….eh. It gets cold here and I was sick of buying a winter jacket every couple years. I knew about...
Post contains affiliate links Keto meal replacements and bars are starting to pop up left and right now that the keto diet has started becoming a bit more mainstream. Some are better than others. Some are healthier than others. It just depends on what you are looking to stay away from. I was sent a sampler pack of KETO BARS to review and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The company itself has a great start with the founder, Jon, having a hard time finding the right high fat low carb product that he needed. He decided to...
post may contain affiliate links Having risalamande or Danish rice pudding every Christmas was one of my favorite memories. I loved the taste of it and, as a kid, finding the almond before the rest of my family was probably the most competition I could handle. The funny part about it was that my cousins did not like it. I vividly remember my cousins trying to choke and gag it down and then they would still get the whole almond and get the prize. I would get so mad! YOU DIDN’T EVEN LIKE IT! When we were kids, the...
Trying to find gifts for somebody that has recently made a lifestyle change can be really difficult. You don’t want to give them something they won’t use or is not right for their way of eating. But you also don’t want to offend them with getting a diet related product that could hurt their feelings. There are so many fun options that you can give somebody that is on keto. There are fun and sassy shirts and there are products that can make life a lot easier. Be mindful when searching though that you are not inadvertently signing your friend...
I have seen a lot of keto jalapeño popper chicken roaming around Pinterest. This recipe stemmed from that, but I made some changes because I am not actually a fan of jalapeño poppers to begin with. Too much cream cheese in one bite for my liking. This is more like a casserole where the cream cheese jalapeño mixture is all mixed up with the chicken and ooooooh is it yummy. So creamy and rich with just a hint of spice. Most of the recipes I see the mixture is placed on the top of a whole chicken breast. I am not amazing at...
Being keto for over a year, I have learned many things. Mainly as I learn new things, the products that I purchase change and grow. A lot of times, when starting out, you want to try products that replace what you can no longer eat. Sugar free candy, low carb tortillas. Stuff that is still pretty readily available in any grocery store. Also when you start out, you tend to buy pretty much anything that somebody mentions or posts about. You want to try new things and that usually ends with buying things that are not so tasty. You...

Doing keto for over a year, you think I would learn to not just buy everything that people post that is low carb. I end up with all these items that either take way too much work to end up using or I don’t have the rest of ingredients to use the item in a recipe. This happened when I purchased coconut cream and coconut milk in a can from Trader Joe’s. I kept reading of all these delicious desserts I could make by whipping it up into a mousse, but ain’t nobody got time for that! Then I bought...
I was given the opportunity to review a product from LaBella Flora Children’s Boutique that I would not normally review. Super girly clothing for little girls. Don’t get me wrong, my daughter LOVES to wear dresses. Like every single day she wears a dress. But they are cheap and she gets them dirty every day. She is my dirtball princess. When I see all of those gorgeous dresses in stores, I know she would destroy them or she would not wear them. When I was contacted by LaBella Flora Children’s Boutique to review their new fall releases, I was...
Keto mistakes are inevitable even for somebody that researches for months before starting. I would like to think that I am pretty proficient in all things keto at this point. I have been eating a keto lifestyle for over a year now and lost 45 pounds. 6 months of that year has been in a maintenance phase of keto rather than actively trying to lose weight. I think one of the main questions to ask before starting is keto, is why? Why are you wanting to do keto as your way of eating? I have been having digestive issues ever...
