Eating healthy, for me, is about more than weight loss like it used to be. It’s about controlling my blood sugar levels and obtaining normal–or relatively normal–hormone levels. I still struggle to lose weight efficiently, but eating a wheat, sugar and gluten free diet helps to control some of the problems I’ve encountered with these health issues of mine.

Then again, if mental health counts, maybe it does. This post is deeply personal and contains some very private information that […]

One of my favorite restaurants here in town has this wonderful pasta dish that features crispy prosciutto on the top. Now I can’t eat the pasta, but the prosciutto? That’s another story. If you’ve never had prosciutto, you’re missing out hugely. It’s not bacon. It’s more ham-like. It’s a slow cured, bone-in pork leg; the […]
I am a little late to the summer party, but hey– I figured there are still a few warm days left in the fall, and let’s be honest: no one turns down mint chocolate chip frozen custard, no matter what the temperature outside is. Keto Ingredients My daughter is the one who requested mint chocolate […]
With fall coming, I figured I’d do a hearty recipe for you all. Well, that and I had a terrible craving for meatloaf a few days ago. I decided on a barbecue meatloaf, and the results couldn’t have been better! I took the leftovers to work for lunch on two separate days. Yes, that is […]
