Happy New Year!
I hope you had a wonderful holiday season! I know I did!
Wait, who am I kidding? The holidays are still in full swing around here! Although we are taking down our tree today (so the hens can enjoy it in the backyard for a while!), Christmas movies are still on the tv, holiday scented candles are still burning, twinkle lights are still sparkling, and that festive feeling is still very much in the air.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve!
If I had to decide on one dish that was my all-time-favorite Thanksgiving side, it would have to be STUFFING.
I know, I know… the title of this post says Green Bean Casserole! I’m not confused, don’t worry. I just haven’t finished preparing my low carb biscuit stuffing yet! That recipe is coming though, so stay tuned! Continue reading
The holidays are here!
The holidays are here!
Aka- time to make allllllll the low carb, no sugar, ketogenic friendly, HOLIDAY TREATS!
Last year I had a blast whipping up some delicious low carb snacks, appetizers, and desserts to support my new low carb lifestyle, and I never once felt deprived! Continue reading
The first time I tried gooey butter cake was in the early 2000’s.
We had taken a trip to Savannah, Georgia and made a stop at the infamous Lady and Sons for lunch.
Gooey butter cake was on the buffet, and of course, knowing Paula Deen’s love of all things butter, we had to try it. Continue reading
Today is August 18, but my mind is already in holiday mode.
If you are one of those types of people who get annoyed by early seasonal celebrators, and like to enjoy the current season they are in, you may want to skip this post- or at least hear me out! 😉 Continue reading
Lately I’ve had people searching for some interesting things that have led them to my blog:
“Am I too fat to workout at a gym?”
“Too heavy for Orangetheory?”
“Weight limit for rower”
“How to overcome humiliation at a gym.”
“How much should I weigh before I buy a gym membership.” Continue reading
We said “I do” exactly 1 year ago today!

In the fall of 2012 I was at the eye doctor’s office getting an annual exam.
I love my ophthalmologist, Dr. C. If you’re like me, going to ANY doctor is an uncomfortable situation, but Dr. C always calms my fears (of my eyes being poked out) with his gentle touch.
But what I love most about Dr. C is his demeanor. As a physician, he is very careful and calm in his actions, which to me is especially important when it comes to an eye exam. And what I appreciate most about him, is his straightforward and honest, yet kind and sincere approach to discussing eye health with his patients. He has truly mastered the art of balancing being thorough, direct, and positive. Continue reading
Happy spring! Happy Easter!
The weather has been GORGEOUS here in Tampa, FL- lows in the 50’s and 60’s, highs in the 70’s and 80’s. Literally the epitome of spring! It’s been the perfect weather for having the windows open and letting the springtime breeze air out the house. Last weekend we went camping to celebrate Brian’s birthday and man-oh-man, it was just lovely. I wish it would stay this way all year long! Continue reading
I’ve been following a clean, whole food way of ketogenic eating since August! I feel great and have experienced so many great changes happening to my body which make me SO glad I chose to dive in and try it.
My long term plantar fasciitis has completely healed, I’ve lost over 40lbs, I’ve gone from a size 24/26 jeans to a size 18/20, and I just FEEL awesome all around. I still have more milestones to hit (and smaller clothes that I hope to fit into!), but so far so good! Continue reading
