Just a mom trying to survive daily chaos. Follow my health and fitness journey, keto style.
I don't know about you but I'm the definition of "basic," and the moment I sense a hint of fall, it's pumpkin everything!! Seriously. Pumpkin coffee, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin muffins, and now pumpkin fat bombs. My mission this fall will be to keto-fy as many fall favorites as possible and that means starting with pumpkin.… Continue reading Pumpkin Pie Fat Bombs
Whenever I'm out and about my favorite "fast food" joint to grab some healthy food is Jimmy Johns. Their sandwiches are delicious and fresh, plus they have the low-carb "unwich" option, which allows you to have your sandwich turned into a lettuce wrap. They're the ones to credit for my Lettuce Wrap Boat Tutorial. As… Continue reading Tuna Unwich
I am obsessed with Jimmy John's unwiches, which always seem to have the most perfect lettuce cups. I don't know about you, but every time I try to peel apart each lettuce layer, they rip apart or break off in an odd shape rendering them useless. Thankfully, a wonderful employee at Jimmy John's disclosed how… Continue reading Lettuce Wrap Boat Tutorial
There is a local restaurant called El Gaucho that is a high-end fancy steak house where majority of the food is served a la carte and costs a pretty penny. If you go during Happy Hour you can get a fantastic meal for relatively affordable. Anyway, the point of this is that they have a… Continue reading Wicked Seasoning

Always happy, sleeps through the night in her own room, chill-baby 9000 as my husband calls her. For instance, yesterday she didn't wake up until 10am. She took a nap from… Continue reading Just my Luck
Something that my husband and I have never seemed to have time for these days is a good date night. Our only real source of childcare is family, so aligning schedules to make it happen seems like more hassle than it's worth at times. I'm sure as our kids get older we will go the… Continue reading Date Night

If there's one thing I love it's queso, on chips, you know... NACHOS! But, options are in short supply for replicating them on keto. There's a few recipes for some keto chips, but that takes time. Time I don't always have. So, today I used pork rinds. I make my own keto queso that's quick… Continue reading Pork Rind Nachos
