Primal + Keto Pizza

Image
When people say they won’t do keto because they find it too limiting, we shake our heads because it just doesn’t have to be that way. Rich and hearty salads, succulent meats, tender roasted veggies, tempting snacks and desserts—there’s not much you can’t eat on keto if you know how to do it. This fresh and flavorful pizza is proof positive that you don’t need to give up great food (even comfort food!) to enjoy all the health benefits of keto living. We love this recipe for the substantial crust, the creamy cheese, bright tasting sauce and all the amazing toppings. (Hint: make a couple crusts at a time and freeze one between waxed paper in a sealed freezer bag.) Once you try this pizza, you’ll definitely want to make it again! Ingredients: Crust: 1 cup blanched almond flour 4.5 Tbsp. ground flaxseed 2 scoops Primal Kitchen® Collagen Peptides 2 Tbsp. tapioca starch, separated ¼-½ tsp. salt ½ tsp. garlic powder ½ tsp. dried oregano ½ tsp. baking Soda 3 Tbsp. coconut milk 2

Beach Days + Beautycounter July 4th Promo + Links of Interest

Image
Mal and I were up and at ’em yesterday morning. We each wanted to squeeze in a quick workout before a day at Duxbury Beach. Unfortunately, our workouts weren’t quick enough because when we arrived at 7:45 AM, non-resident was at capacity. Whomp whomp. We were bummed, but we made the best of our drive to Duxbury by stopping at Coffee Shack (in Marshfield) on the way home. Butterscotch iced coffee? Yes, please! I was kind of bummed about the beach, but an Coffee Shack iced coffee and half of a sprinkle donut made it sooooo much better! Quinn actually took the whole beach thing way better than we thought. The “overflow” beach that we were directed to was really blah (so many rocks), so he understood why we decided not to stay. Plus, we had to lug all of our stuff onto the beach – first world problems, right? Anyway, we got our iced coffees and donuts and headed home. We played in Quinn’s pool (aka the best $40 we’ve spent this summer) and hung around the house until mid-afternoon.

Avocado Egg Burger (Plus a Giveaway!)

Image
There’s just something about an egg burger. The runny yolk and savory taste of beef together feel about as rich and decadent and satisfying as it gets. Add avocado with the typical burger fixings, and you’re looking at the king of keto burgers. This might not become your everyday burger, but we’d call it one of those must-have burger experiences. The fresh tastes, the creamy textures, the sheer audacity of it—few burgers inspire the way this one does. Servings: 4 burgers Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 10 minutes Ingredients: 1 pound of grass-fed beef 4 eggs fried in avocado oil 4 firm avocados 3 tsp. sesame seeds 8 slices of red onion 4 slices of tomato 3 Tbsp. Primal Kitchen® Chipotle Lime Mayo 2/3 cup microgreens Salt and pepper to taste Instructions: Form hamburger into 4 patties. Grill for 8-10 minutes on medium heat. Sprinkle salt and pepper on finished burgers as desired. Fry eggs on high heat for 2 minutes to get crispy edges and a soft, runny, yolk.

Waving Hi From Bald Head Island

Image
The Original Four have been coming to Bald Head for twenty-something years. The island has changed so much since there was only a general store where you could rent VHS tapes and buy a microwave popcorn or batteries. We used to come over for the day and explore by golf cart. Back then it was a humble, wild island. We felt like we were in some magical movie riding through the tunnel of trees on Federal Road. These days the island is much more developed. Not only is there a full grocery store, but there are two huge beach clubs, both with restaurants, and a hoppin’ Harbor scene with multiple dining and bar spots, a coffee and ice cream shop, and more. But was hasn’t changed is how fun this island is for kids. Mazen loves the golf carts as much as we did, and when I took him on a biking adventure earlier this week he had the same sense of adventure I used to feel, especially when we stopped to hunt for alligators. Birch likes the beach! He didn’t love it so much on the first day –
