Lemon-Raspberry Cheesecake Cupcakes

Breaking the savory streak with this simple dessert. Calories: 75 Fat: 6g Carbs: 3g Fiber: <1g Protein: 2g Servings: 12 Cook time: 35 mins (10 mins on hand) This recipe originally calls for ¼ c of sugar which helps the structure to not collapse. If using a sweetener that does not convert 1:1 for sugar, understand that the middle of the cupcakes will be sunken in. The Almond Flour is an optional…

Primal Food Log: What's for dinner? (food inspiration)

Roasted Salmon with Chili Oil glaze

Crustless Bacon (no nitrates), onion, portobello quiche

Garlic Sea Salt Green Beans

I was ravenous when I started prepping dinner as in eat the table while I'm at it. By the time I plated it - NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.  I couldn't eat anything.  I had enjoyed an incredible paleo smoothie earlier in the day and some leftover ribs from football Sunday, so I was hardly going to waste away.

My kids are Primal by proxy with standard american diet liberty outside of my sphere of influence.  My husband is onboard and actually spearheaded (sorry, bad pun) this whole transformation years ago.  At that time, it was the IT diet as in information technology... couch potato computer dwellers that needed to drop 60 to 80 pounds.

Anyway, the poll results were positive.  All plate contents were consumed even the 4 year old.  The 4 year old wasn't consumed, but "Mikey liked it!" if you remember the 80's Life cereal commercials.

I guess I need to get with the program and join everyone in 2014 by photo documenting my life!  I'll try to start taking pics.  I'm such a visual person!

Hope this inspires!

Cheers!

Asian Scramble

Bring southern China to your kitchen with this effortless scramble!

Im so glad you guys really loved last week’s Vanilla Cupcakes and Cookies!

What I love about this breakfast is its flavor and that the veggies are freebies, so you can add as much as you want! And if you’re sick of them, just skip the egg.

Who wants to chop anything in the morning? Not me! So I used a frozen pepper and onion blend and pre-sliced, fresh mushrooms.

Serving: 1 Cook Time: 10 min

Tropical Treat

This tropical treat can double as a dessert and snack!

I have a love, mostly hate relationship with coconut (swap-able), but this treat is a LOVE!! Even my mom and aunt were hooked from first bite. This recipe is more of a dessert, but if you add protein powder or protein of some kind, it can double as a snack too! However, you should be mindful that the primary source of carbs here is the mango (6), then wonton wrapper (4), then the banana (2). You…

Roasted Chickpeas 4 Flavors

A one ingredient snack - Toasted Chickpeas, 4 Flavors

Following the gestational diabetes diet can be quite cumbersome, for various reasons. It seems that mothers with gestational diabetes are often conflicted between following the diet plan, or eating as they feel. Registered Dietitian, Lily Nichols, talks about intuitive eating in Real Food for Gestational Diabetes: An Effective Alternative to the Conventional Nutrition Approach (affiliate link).…

4th of July Options

4th of July Options

Eating can be a daunting thought with gestational diabetes, let alone gatherings centered around food. Don’t be discouraged to join the party, just be prepared!

We normally like to grill during the summer holidays, and the foods usually include our “stay away” carbs like white-flour breads and sugary desserts. The way I see it, there are two options: bring your own food and toss it on the grill,…

Fudgy Brownies

Fudgy brownies in only 8 ingredients: 8 carbs each! One adjustment makes these Keto & Paleo friendly.

Brownies keep popping up on Instagram lately, and we don’t want to be left out ;), so we’re posting this 8-ingredient, fudgy recipe. These are an easy addition to the 4th of July menu, and especially great if you’ll be outside because they don’t have to be refrigerated. And at 8 carbs a piece, why not make them dessert tonight?!

Reese's Mousse - Yum!

Reese’s Mousse – Yum!

This is truly a dessert in terms of nutrition. It shouldn’t be consumed frequently due to the calories and fat; however, roughly 30% of the fat is “good fat” from the peanuts.

Tip – Save over 20% of the calories and fat by replacing the whipped cream with Reddi Whip! Sprinkle cocoa powder on top or melt bittersweet (70% cocoa) chocolate.

Calories: 420 Fat: 38g Carbohydrates: 11g Fiber: 3g Protein:…
