10 & 2 Qs: Go Keto With Cool Whip & Peanut Butter ??!

Image
Have you heard the latest? You can go keto just by eating cool whip and peanut butter! …. Honestly, folks. Some days I open the internets and immediately want to crawl into a hole. Keto is insanely popular right now…and for good reason. 100s of thousands of people are transforming their lives with this way of eating. But at the same time, the hype and misleading claims are astonishing… Watch this video for my real take…  If you can’t tell if a claim is “real” or a parody, things have gone to a bad, bad place. For example, this peanut butter and cool whip idea… HINT: NO, eating processed, calorically dense “food” is not the way to reach your goals. And the sad thing is there are actually people selling keto programs who are recommending this (and people who believe them and buy!). Oh and they’re telling people to skip the all-natural stuff and eat Skippy PB, no less! Have you noticed these overhyped claims too? If you’re over the B.S. and want a sane approach to keto that deliv

Primal Sloppy Joes

Image
Nothing says comfort food quite like sloppy joes. The go-to of potlucks and family dinners for generations, they’ve got the tangy and hearty flavor even kids gravitate to. Many versions, including canned sauces, however, contain added sugars or even high fructose corn syrup—such a shame, since the basic ingredients of sloppy joes need no sweeteners when done right. Bring this classic back to your healthy menu with this recipe for delicious sloppy joe meat sauce—and the grain-free buns to deliver that goodness. Enjoy! Grain-Free Buns Servings: 4 Buns Time in the Kitchen: 15 minutes, plus 15 minutes to bake Ingredients: 1 ½ cups super-fine blanched almond flour (165 g) ½ teaspoon kosher salt (2.5 ml) ½ teaspoon baking soda (2.5 ml) 4 large eggs, separated 5 tablespoons Primal Kitchen® Avocado Oil (75 ml) 1 tablespoon honey (15 ml) ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar (2.5 ml) ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar (1.25 ml) Optional: Poppy seeds or sesame seeds to sprinkle on top To

Coconut Bites + Healthy Sights

Image
I hope you guys have had a lovely week! Gus and I are enjoying cozy oatmeal on the couch. Mr. Birch and his BFFs, soccer lovely and Gertie the Goose, say hi! Mazen’s latest Kiwi Crate came with a recipe for energy balls, so we decided to make those together one afternoon. I used the base recipe, but I subbed in some butterscotch chips for half of the chocolate chips, added chia seeds, and mixed in optional chopped almonds. I also decided that I don’t really like eating “balls.” They tend to crumble when you bite them, so I changed the recipe to “bites” instead – little squares! We also thought the squares looked a little plain, so I heated up some coconut butter and made a frosting. They turned out SO well! Here’s the ingredient list: 1 cup quick oats 1/3 cup honey 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter 1/4 cup chocolate chips 1/4 cup butterscotch chips 1/4 cup chopped almonds Sprinkle of cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla 1 Tbsp Chia seeds Coconut butter for “frosting” I ended
