Mini Meatloaf Muffins + Cute Curls

Image
Have extra ground beef on hand? Combine it with red pepper, spinach, herbs, panko, parmesan, and egg and these mini meatloaf muffins come together in a flash. Mini Meatloaf Muffins We had a pack of ground beef and nothing on the dinner menu one night and so I went to the KERF archives for some inspo. I made a version of these Herb and Cheese Mini Meatloaf Muffins that turned out so well. The 2020 version had red peppers, fresh chopped spinach, herbs from the garden, parm, breadcrumbs, egg, and one pound of grass-fed beef. You probably have most of the ingredients on hand! I had the leftovers for lunch the next day as a salad with artichokes, chopped asparagus, greens, and a drizzle of a thick balsamic vinegar. Portraits of Birch Thomas’s Aunt Layton is a photographer in Richmond and took some of the sweetest photos of Birch! He is shy and slow to warm up, and she captured his “serious face” so perfectly. But wait for the smiles at the end!! Starting with his skeptical st...

Weight loss and calories: what really matters?

Image
Most clients who come to me for help losing weight have been focusing on the wrong things for years. ⁠⠀ They’ve literally spent years of their life (and hundreds of their dollars) focusing on keeping their calories in, low, and their calories out, high.⁠⠀ That vicious cycle of diet, exercise, repeat.⁠⠀ They’re so focused on the things they THINK influence their total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) that they miss out on the things that actually DO influence it.⁠⠀ Weight loss and calories: what really matters? Here are three other things that impact your TDEE that you might not be thinking about:⁠⠀ BMR – basal metabolic rate – this is the number of calories you burn at rest and it is based on how much muscle you have (why I encourage choosing strength training over cardio) as well as the physical ‘shape’ your heart, lungs, and other organs are in. You CAN control how much muscle you have on your body to increase your overall rate. ⁠⠀ TEF – thermic effect of food – this is the ...

5 Reasons You Can’t Quit Sugar

Image
Let me guess. You’ve been on keto for 5-6 months and enthusiastically thinking this is how you’ll finally wrangle your sugar cravings into submission! You’re loading up on healthy fats, avoiding grains, and ditching highly processed, high-carb foods. Yet there’s that incessant nagging. You know, the one that tells you that life is too short not to indulge in that giant Costco muffin or the more paleo-friendly version, another square (or three) of dark chocolate. For a lot of people, including my own clients, moving toward a fat- or protein-dominant diet does the trick. You may have seen this article that Mark wrote earlier this year where he says “it takes two to three days of very-low-carb eating for the liver to start pumping out ketones” and that cravings will “decrease noticeably within three to ten days.” Research backs it up too, concluding that cravings are significantly reduced almost immediately as people get into ketosis. 1 Things like sleep deprivation, chronic stress, ...

Grilled Zucchini Recipe

Image
This grilled zucchini recipe is the perfect way to use up all that zucchini from your summer garden and still want to eat more! There’s just something about barbecued food. It seems like no matter what I put on the grill, I’m pretty much always guaranteed a tasty outcome. Even veggies! In fact, the grill is fast becoming my absolute favorite way to prepare almost any vegetable. I love the smokey flavor that the grill imparts, and in this case, the zucchini can be cooked to any level of “doneness” and end up being rock-star-delicious! I prefer to cook mine a little less so that the zucchini maintains a slight bit of crunch. But you can also cook them long enough to turn them into something just shy of a tasty mush. It really is up to you! Even Mini Chef (who is definitely going through an “I don’t want that” stage) ate these. So that’s sayin’ something! HEALTH BENEFITS OF ZUCCHINI: Zucchini is marvelous stuff. Particularly off the grill! But delicious flavors aside, here are ...
