I was super excited to find purple cauliflower as it's just at the end of the season and I've been on a mission for it. We decided to pick up the purple cauliflower ...

Pork Carne Asada Tacos

Pork Carne Asada Tacos

It's not often that I say that I'm having pork tacos on a ketogenic diet, but you can have your tacos and eat them too! The cilantro, lettuce, and sour cream really give the tacos a fresh bite, every bite.

Oven “Grilled” Asian Chicken Thighs

It's not so often that the lazy people prevail in the quest to do less. But, there's the few times that the lazy way of living shines through and gives a bit of hope - this is one of those days. Instead of breaking out the grill, cleaning it, oiling it, and subsequently cleaning it afterward, why not use the oven to do our chicken thighs? I've found that this method works extremely well with chicken thighs in particular. So well, that even the people I served it to didn't realize that this ...
