Why not eat keto candy? Humans love sweets; we’re wired for it. Our brains see and taste sugar and understand it’s a source of fuel. The problem is that it used to be super scarce and now it’s everywhere! If you’re doing keto to avoid sugar, you probably still crave sugar. Well, we know that […]
A St. Patrick’s day recipe that doesn’t involve booze! So the idea I had was a quick, dirty dessert recipe that could serve a few purposes; it needed to sate my sweet tooth, I’d like it to be nutritionally valuable, and screw it, make it green because a priest kicked snakes out of an […]
Insert joke about how size matters My wife bought me an air fryer for Christmas 2017 and I was PUMPED. I like frying food and I thought I could play around with some keto vittles and make some killer stuff. The problem was that this particular air fryer was tiny; I soon learned I could […]
Chickengate 2018 In my pursuit for something my children will eat that’s reasonably priced and healthy, I’ve tried many a keto chicken tender in my days. Most recipes were basically pork rind breading, which I don’t mind but my wife hates, so I can’t do that. I’d tried almond flour but it’s messy and tastes […]
I like a good breakfast sandwich. Sandwiches, in fact, are nature’s perfect food, evolved and perfected for centuries by artists and wizards alike. The problem is that bread isn’t the healthiest thing in the world. Even “whole grain” varieties don’t offer much aside from fiber, and there’s far more nutrient-dense ways of getting fiber. So […]
Butternut squash soup has to be one of the best things about Fall (save for Halloween parties and…well all things Halloween!) Even better? This recipe is done with a slow cooker! Crockpot cooking is a constant in my family, given our desire to eat healthy but also save time. This recipe is great if you’re […]
Dad and The Air Fryer On Christmas morning my wife handed me a big box and said “I want you to make me sweet potato fries”. Holding the box and not knowing how what she said was related to anything at hand, I graciously accepted the present without questions. Inside was an air fryer, something […]
My family is Italian, hailing from Abruzzo. I can trace my lineage to the town of Calascio, and I was fortunate enough to interact daily with my great grandfather (who came from Italy) on a daily basis until I was 8. I love Italian food naturally, but being low carb kind of throws a wrench […]
I pride myself on my cooking ability – though I’m by no means a chef, I like 90% of what I cook, and my wife/kids like 60% of what I cook, and if you knew my wife and kids, you’d count that as a win. That said, I stick close to my wheelhouse and try […]
My grandma always made stuffed peppers when I was a kid and I wasn’t hugely fond of them. I didn’t really like the slightly bitter green bell peppers and the stuff inside was fine at best. Not that my nonna couldn’t cook – she was a beast, particularly when it came to pasta. I just […]
