15-Minute Meal Prep: Keto Ground Beef Recipes

Image
If you want fast, easy, nutritious, and varied ways of cooking with ground beef, our three keto ground beef recipes will show you how. This keto-Primal meal plan and prep featuring ground beef will teach you how to cook lunches, dinners, and leftovers in 15 minutes. Disclaimer: If you’re not a fast vegetable chopper and dicing onions makes you feel like a teary slowpoke, you might not pull the entire meal prep off in 15 minutes, but that’s OK! Take your time to get everything washed, prepared, and chopped before you start cooking so that once the ground beef starts sizzling in the skillet, you’re 15 minutes away from an Asian Ground Beef Bowl, Cheeseburger Salad, and Spicy Ground Beef Tacos.

Hyman: The Food Fix

Image
Hey folks! I’m really excited to share the release of Dr. Mark Hyman’s book “Food Fix” on February 25th.  If you are not familiar, Dr. Hyman is the 10 time New York Times bestselling author, mainly on the topics of nutrition. This time, Dr. Hyman has tackled the thorny topic of not just good human nutrition, but the importance for a regenerative food system to produce that food.  This is controversial stuff… It can be near career suicide mentioning these topics. It’s a quick way to get shadow banned on social media (or have one’s account closed outright). Not infrequently I scratch my head as to why Diana Rodgers and I tackled the Sacred Cow project, as the blowback and vitriol around a book and film that have not yet been released has been remarkable.  Diana and I championed this cause because we see the need for a more nuanced discussion of topics like food production and climate change. I know Dr. Hyman fairly well, and he has similar values and a sense that the narrative ha

Life Lately

Hey there! Mal and Quinn are on vacation this week, so I’m doing my best to unwind and relax with them. Of course, that’s easier said than done for me! 😉 If you haven’t had a chance to enter to win a charcoal deodorant from Primally Pure, there’s still time. I will pick a winner tomorrow! And here’s a little update from life lately… I recently tried the kale gnocchi from Trader Joe’s. I had high hopes for it after falling in love with their cauliflower gnocchi, especially when it’s cooked in the air fryer with nutritional yeast . Omgggg, yum! But, sadly, the kale version was NOT good… it was much too kale-y and dry. Whomp whomp. I still ate it (because I hate wasting food), but I will not buy it again. Have you tried it? #STRONGMADESIMPLE is coming along!  The format of the program is basically nailed down. It’s going to be 6 weeks with 4 workouts per week. Most focus on full-body, but some are upper and lower body-focused. And the best part is that you only need 2 sets of du

Real Meals + Valentines

^^ One of my three Valentines!! And here’s the other captured at school! I love seeing him in the wild. We had a low-key V-Day this year and decided to stay home with the kids and do a special dinner at home. We go out to dinner a lot, and I never feel that we HAVE to go on February 14. So we had Mona Lisa Pasta baked ziti, parmesan broccoli, and opened some wine. We slow danced in the living room while the boys chased each other in circles! For a special dessert, the kids and I walked to The Pie Chest and picked up 3 slices to surprise Thomas. One slice from each of us. Mazen made cards, and we pulled them out after dessert. Dark Chocolate, Cookies n Cream, and Coconut Cream Pie! Heavenly. T and I watched the Taylor Swift documentary on Netflix after bedtime. It was SO GOOD and I didn’t want it to end!!! Saturday I went to my 8am workout class and then went directly to Mazen’s basketball game after where I met everyone (Matt, Thomas, Birch). Mazen scored his very first baske

Italian Navy Bean Soup Recipe

Image
This Italian navy bean soup is quick to make, delicious (anything with bacon is delicious!) and actually quite filling, despite its lighter broth. This is a hearty soup that fills you up with protein (both meat and plant-based protein) and fiber. Navy beans are the bean with the highest fiber content! So I tend to eat them a lot these days. And they are so, crazy delicious! The navy bean is a small, white bean with 19.1 grams of fiber per cup! It’s native to the Americas and has a mild flavor that goes well with just about anything. NOTES ON THE BACON I used Applegate turkey bacon for this. It has a very clean ingredient list and is the only bacon I eat these days. If you have access to good quality bacon, there is no reason not to enjoy this cut of meat in moderation. Just stay away from the main stream grocery store brands. They are heavily processed, packed with sugar and all kinds of not-so-great-for-you ingredients. To make this soup, you’ll want your bacon cooked separat
