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 […]
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 […]
Getting started with keto (also known as low carb high fat or LCHF) is a lot easier than one might think. While some may think it unhealthy or difficult, it’s truly neither when you take the time to research and do it right. That said, please note that the information below is merely my own […]
Is sugar addictive? It seems like it’s in everything these days!
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 […]
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 […]
Skate…fish? Ok, so this might not be a common fish to come across, but a local fishmonger had skate on sale, so I decided to give it a shot. Skate meat comes from the “wings” of the fish – skate fish look like stingrays, but there’s a handful of biological differences that I don’t feel […]
Almond Butter Is Too Expensive There, I said it. Everyone THINKS it, but I’m done living in the shadows. No more will we be oppressed by high nut butter prices, especially when it’s insanely easy to make them at home yourself. It takes a little bit of time, but it’s mostly hands-free, with the exception […]
