I’ve been catching up on the pile of books people share with me and am giving you the details on my favorite seven Favorite Books: Healthy Living, Fitness, Diet and Cookbook – Summer 2018
Welcome to the club! Membership entitles you to lunch without bread, but before you accuse me of cruel hazing, you need to give my Low-Carb Turkey Club Lettuce Wrap with Ranch a chance. What this meal lacks in toasty bread and omg-creativity (basically it’s a salad that meets sandwich fillings), it makes up for in low-carb yumminess and take on-the-go convenience.

Five years ago, I wrote a post on Fat and THEN carbs, latest in Pre-Race Nutrition for Marathon and Ultra. It’s been a very popular post and based on research suggesting that a low-carb diet may actually be optimal for endurance athletes as it trains muscles to be better fat burners. Today I’m sharing my newest Menu for Endurance & Marathon Fat Loading!
Read on to learn a little more about this type of training diet and get my NEW meal ideas/recipe to help you hit the macros on this diet without overdosing on bacon and avocados (although, nothing wrong with that). Continue reading
FricOMG. Frico are such a delicious crunchy treat made entirely of cheese, with the exception of herbs and seasonings, as in my Jalapeño Four-Cheese Frico. Ready to work for so many of the popular “diets” these days, these cheese crisps are gluten-free, low-carb, sugar-free, vegetarian and keto-friendly.

My Jalapeño Four-Cheese Frico are so easy to eat right off the baking sheet and equally amaze-balls swapped for croutons on salad, for chips with dip, for crackers with salami and more!

Who doesn’t love a chicken tender?! I used to pretend I was making them “for the kids” all while plotting how delicious they were going to be on my salad or dipped into something fabulous. But, chicken tenders, fingers, nuggets or whatever ya want to call them are usually over-breaded and fried in yucky fats when eaten out — and not much better for you when baked from those bags from the freezer section. 
My recipe for Baked Turmeric Almond Chicken Tenders uses fresh chicken breast coated in almond meal for satisfying crunch! The golden color comes from turmeric, a spice beloved not just for it’s hue but also amazing health benefits — I’ve blogged about that a million times. By using almond meal (along with coconut flour for the pre-egg dusting), I’ve kept this recipe gluten-free and doable for paleo, keto and other low-carb diets. Not to mention these tenders (or you could do chicken nuggets) are kid friendly. Read on to get the recipe! Continue reading
