It’s early, my favourite time of the day in the summer. The sun is up, the birds are singing their variety of morning songs and I’ve already been out in the garden for an hour or so, hoping to beat the heat that is expected later in the day. But now I’m hungry! Since I…
Low Carb ‘Apple’ turnovers
Yup I said apple. Well, sort of. Do you remember oh so many years ago when mock apple pie hit your mom’s recipe books. You know, the one that used Ritz brand crackers rather than actual apples? Who’s idea was that anyway??!! Can you imagine why on earth you would want to replace a perfectly…
Spicy Italian Keto Hot Pockets
These spicy Italian Keto Hot Pockets are a really easy to make, easy to pack, low carb breakfast or lunch option. Just like my Greens, Eggs and Ham Hot Pockets, they use a simple cheese and almond flour crust that is spiced up with some dried Italian herbs. They come together in about 15 minutes…
Greens, Eggs and Ham Breakfast Hot Pockets
Well, after watching me lose over 20 lbs on a low carb/ketogenic lifestyle, my hubby Steve has finally jumped on board. He has been eating low carb at home because, for the most part, that’s all I’m cooking. The only problem with that is that he has also still been eating higher carb lunches etc….
Italian Breakfast Frittata
We often grow spaghetti squash in our vegetable garden. Last year I innocently picked up a package of starter plants, which turned out to be way more than we needed. I think we grew around 40 squashes. This year I only purchased 4 plants, as opposed to last year’s 6, thinking that we would get a more…
Fried Eggs with Sweet Potato Hash
I do love me a green smoothie in the morning. The only trouble is, they make me cold. Like from the inside out cold. So on a cool morning I find it harder to be hankering for a frozen green concoction even though I know they are a great way to get some extra veggies…
Fried Egg on Arugula
I pretty much have three go-to breakfasts; a fresh green smoothie, venison sausage with homemade sauerkraut, or eggs over some sort of veggie. A few years ago I discovered that draping a fried egg or two over arugula was a really tasty way to enjoy eggs, without the toast. A little drizzle of balsamic, maple…
Jamaican Banana Bread
Almost all of my bananas end up in my morning smoothies these days but this week I had one that was so ripe it seemed a waste not to use it in something baked – like banana bread. For baking, bananas that are so ripe they are nearly liquid are absolutely perfect. They are super…
Citrus Breeze Smoothie
Green smoothies are my go to breakfast, unless I’m craving protein – and then I go for eggs. I started making green smoothies about 2 years ago, when I purchased a Vitamix on impulse at Costco. I had tried making a green smoothie or two with my regular blender and they were tasty but had…
Chia Pudding with Fresh Berries
Last fall I did a 21 Day whole food cleanse offered up by the girls over at Simple Green Smoothies. I’d never done a cleanse before and some that I had seen seemed kinda radical. I really wanted to feel successful at it so I wasn’t really up for one that required coffee enemas (whaaaat?!!!!)…
