This keto steak recipe is topped with garlic butter mushrooms and grilled to perfection! A low carb, paleo and whole30 healthy Summer dinner! My husband loves some keto steak recipes, like this recipe or the coffee rubbed steak, a WHOLE lot more than cucumbers and fru-fru, fancy salad dressings, you know? Unless that fru-fru salad is a balsamic steak salad.

There are a few instances when I like them…and this is definitely one of them But, my husband loves mushrooms,...

Cooking for one SUCKS! For 12 years, I’ve had a full table. If the kids weren’t all here, there were friends of another. Food and meals have always been BIG.

This line of thinking stems from a common misconception that plant-based recipes are lacking vital protein, but that’s far from the truth. There are so many healthy, plant-based recipes that are not only delicious and fiber-filled, but also packed with satiating protein. Some people who are vegan or vegetarian enjoy fake meat substitutes (and there’s absolutely no shame in that), but fake meats are...
