Hey whats up my friends! Its Wednesday which means its hump day! Ever since I started my new job a couple weeks ago, Ive gotten even more stingy with the time it takes me to cook dinner. By the time I get the kids home, I dont really want to think about it that much, ya know? But Im all about that proper nutrition and Im a cheap-ass, so takeout is just not in the cards 95% of the time. So! I wanted to provide a go-to meal for the parent on the go that will fill your family up...

This baked avocado is loaded with cheese and bacon! It makes a fantastic low carb alternative to a baked potato and is an easy lunch for one! This post may contain affiliate links for your convenience. So. I had an amazing idea for making a low carb version of loaded baked potatoes but using avocado. I recently posted my recipe for Loaded Cauliflower Mash and without realizing it Ive used lots of the same toppings! Cant go far wrong with bacon and cheese, I guess! Avocado is a surprisingly good replacement for a baked potato, if you can get over...

Barbara and I are quickly approaching our 63rd birthdays. November for me and December for her. And now, even though we are kind of “senior citizens”, we are healthier, stronger, more agile, and trimmer than we’ve been since our thirties. To be honest, I feel the best I have since I was 32 years old. For me, that’s especially significant because I suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome for about 25 years. But, thankfully, I’ve overcome that and now I have enough energy to strength train and enjoy life. As for Barbara, well, she looks “mahvelous”. And her energy levels are...

Couscous is one of those easy back pocket starches that is perfect for last minute dinners. It takes five minutes to cook and is always super satisfying when served alongside a chicken tagine. Luckily, its equally hands-off and lightning fast to do a grain-free version using cauliflower! Simply pulse the florets in a food processor to create a crumbly couscous-like texture. You can also find frozen riced cauliflower now in most supermarkets, but I promise it wont take much time to make your own. In this recipe, I use a turmeric hack to get the saffron-hue of couscous or yellow...
