Open Face KETO Sandwich
I am always experimenting with lower carb and gluten free recipes in line with my lifestyle and what I teach in my online nutrition program, F…The Diet. I wanted to make a bagel that was simple and could be great with just butter or cream cheese or also be made into an open face sandwich. This would cover a filling breakfast or quick lunch need! I can’t tell you the last time I had a “real” bagel, but I do miss them at times. I love bread (you too?) items, but gluten does a n

Chocolate Avocado Muffins
Yep…I confess…. I LOVE LOVE LOVE chocolate! I don’t care if its a piece of chocolate, chocolate ice cream, chocolate cake, chocolate muffins, I don’t discriminate. BUT, I do however want it to 1) taste great 2) be good quality 3) not send me on a total sugar high/low. These moist little devils are yummy and in line with my lower sugar, higher fat lifestyle. Hope you enjoy them too! If you make a batch post a pic on social media with the #FtheDiet so I can see them and hear yo

“Fathead” (but Skinny Body) Pizza!
Most of my clients crave or miss pizza when trying to lose body fat, so I am very happy to present a dough recipe that actually takes on good crust flavor and texture, that is high in fiber and a sports a good dose of protein and nourishing, satiating fats. If you are steering clear of dairy though I am sorry to say this isnt the recipe for you. But if you are trying to find alternatives to grains and gluten this is a home run! The “dough” was quick and easy to form and if yo

Keto Coffee Cake… mmm!
Saturday mornings at our house, I like to try making a new breakfast. Something a bit more fun then our weekday eggs done fifty ways. I haven’t had a slice of real coffee cake in…I can’t remember how long but for some reason it popped into my head. The last thing I want to do in the mornings is send myself (or my family) on a major sugar rush, so I wanted to come up with a much lower carb, higher fiber version that can still pass my five year olds sniff and taste test. I took

90 Second Mug Muffins! OMG!
GAME CHANGER!!! I have been a bit of a carb monger while pregnant this go-around. For a while it was one of the few things that sat well with me, even though I preach more fats than carbs. So to be intaking more carbs than I normally do is really making me nuts! So, in an effort to get away from the millet bagels and gluten-free toast, but without Herculean efforts in the kitchen (our oven caught fire last week so baking is out for now) I have fallen in love with the MUG MUFF

Guilt-Free Bagels
BAGELS are not usually synonymous with WEIGHT LOSS and I haven’t had a “real” bagel in YEARS! The gluten is a problem for me (bloating my belly and ruining my skin), but even if it weren’t for that, the average bagel carries about 48 grams of carbohydrates, and that is just for a plain one. A normal blood sugar is about 4 grams of sugar so I don’t want to eat something 12 times my normal blood sugar! Imagine how high the sugar content climbs with cinnamon raisin or chocolate

Olaf Waffles – healthy & easy for school days
I hate giving my child a high carb breakfast! It sets her up for being Miss Cranky Pants shortly after the meal. Not only that , but I am on a lifelong mission to keep her heart super healthy as well as her body and mind optimally functioning, so consistent high carb diets are NOT the way to go. If she were old enough to attend school, I am pretty sure her ability to pay attention would be in jeopardy if I did what so many Americans do for a quick morning meal. Giving your c
