BEAUTY IS A LIFESTYLE THING

I'm still Spring cleaning are you? I guess I actually Spring clean year-round, but once you get out of Spring/Summer, it's just simply called deep cleaning. To me, however, Spring cleaning is where we can throw open the windows from the long and closed up winter to feel and breathe in the freshness of Spring. The fresh air fills the house and then the allergies start! Oh well; can't win them all I guess. I often frequent farm stands and farmer's markets all through summer and early fall. I go to as many as possible. Our regular supermarkets are now even buying from local or near local farmers because they even realize that the seasonal fruits and vegetables grown as close as can be are the freshest and lessen their carbon footprint. Most farmers of late are trying smaller batch growths to try and eliminate as much harmful fertilization as possible. So fruits and veggies need to be clean before we eat them. I have a little recipe hack that you can try. It is so su...

I'm always on the outlook for easy,tasty and fulfilling foods to eat. I also love recipes that I can make that everyone would enjoy even if they are not on a specified lifestyle diet. It cannot get easier than this lovely keto nugget recipe. This recipe and others that are similar to this have gone viral on social media. So I've adapted this one. You'll need a mixing bowl, and I have used a simple mini muffin tin to shape them. But you can use a regular muffin tin or shape them with your hands, it's up to you. Keto Nuggets Pre heat your oven to 400 degrees~ There's only a few Ingredients that you'll need: ***************************************** *1) 1 Can of Chicken breast (drain all of the water out) *2) 1 egg (I used a large egg) *3) 1 Cup of mozzarella cheese (I used a pre shredded kind) *4) 1/2 tsp of garlic powder *5) Salt & Pepper to your taste **************************************** Directions In a bowl, combine all of the ingredient...

I am always looking for new recipes and tasty appetizers for the next party/party hosting I will do. I look for quick,easy,crowd pleasing and I detest turning on the oven if I don't have to. *Summer Tip* I feel the key to feeling great especially in the summer,is to stay hydrated all while eating your way into healthy vitamins and minerals. Make sure you eat your summer vegetable harvest that contain foods like cucumbers because they are usually in abundance and the water content is high in cucumbers!* I reccently came across a recipe in the Costco magazine that is a version of a recipe that my own mother used to make for summer parties and for a simple dish that replaced a salad, they called them "Stuffed CuteCumber Boats". I'll link this recipe later at the end, but here is the version that my mom used and that I now use that we just called Stuffed Cucumbers. *Recipe Tip* I depise waste, especially food waste,and if I can I will use something I have on-hand ...

So you need a simple,quick, and easy snack recipe and it has to be Keto-friendly? Oh I have a great little snack that takes about 10 minutes to prepare and to bake and you'll just love them. These treats are something a bit different but will keep you satisfied and in ketosis. (I'm that person who is FOMO) Really, I am missing out and if one intends to stay with the keto lifestyle, you have to give yourself little easy snacks that you can much on while everyone is opening a bag of chips and dip in front of you. This recipe isn't just good for keto, anyone at all can eat these and love them. Preheat your oven between 375-400 degrees (oven times vary) For this recipe I will be using a regular sized muffin tin pan, one can use the mini-muffin maker and I would set the oven on only 375 degrees. Also, one caveat, you also have to love pickles! For this recipe I am using dill pickles. Pre-cut coin size pickles work great for this recipe, but I didn't have any on-hand s...

The summer holidays are here. Most of America is lifting all of the Covid 19 restrictions, so off to the family BBQ we go. What goes better at a BBQ other than dip? Dips do not have to contain sugar, and this recipe is probably the easiest on the planet to make. So today I'm highlighting a homemade Low carb and Keto-friendly ranch dip and dressing. Making home made recipes controls the amount of "bad for you ingredients" or just unecessary ingredients. If you become a consumer who reads the labels, you would be shocked. Did you know that condiments carry a ton of sugar in them and often times we may descriminately overuse them? Did you know that by reading the label on the Coke can one can find out that in a 12 oz can there is 39g of sugar and compare that to just 1 TBSP of Ketchup carries about 3.7 g of sugar. That starts adding up. Look for alternatives now that contain little or no sugar. If you don't see it, ask your grocer, they will try to stock it or report...
