I used to body build in my early twenties, but when I stopped I gained a tremendous amount of weight due to poor diet and inactivity. For years I was just gaining until I got to a astounding 257 for my 5'8" tall body, which was grossly overweight. After four years I began Brazilian jiu-jitsu (8 years ago), and changed my diet and immediately lost weight. Once my body settled into activity again, the poor diet messed me up once more and for the past 7.5 yrs, I was an accordion of weight loss and ...
Keto Gyros
I had a craving the other day for some nice, big, Gyro sandwiches. You know the ones I'm talking about: hot fluffy bread stuffed with thinly shaved meat, veggies, and of course that yogurt sauce. I'm not even sure what the best part of a Gyro is, they're so good. So I created this keto friendly version that makes use of our coconut flour tortilla recipe. You can easily bake the meat in your oven, so you do not need to own a rotisserie. The meat mixture is put through a food processor in ...

Easy Keto Cordon Bleu
This recipe is quick, so it's the perfect dinner to whip up on those busy weeknights. I've taken the classic chicken cordon bleu recipe and reformatted it to be keto friendly and easy to prepare. I really like this dish because the flavor combo of ham, Swiss, Dijon mustard, and chicken are hard to beat. I also love that even though this recipe uses chicken breasts and bakes them in the oven - they come out nice and juicy. With a typical cordon bleu you might worry about creating a ...

Bolognese Zoodle Bake
Bolognese sauce is a basic, but mighty, meat based sauce that is typically used for pasta's and lasagna. The secret to a delicious bolognese is a seriously long cook time and just the right temperature. My recipe is relatively easy with just a few spices, and Rao's tomato sauce. If you cannot find Rao's, then look for a keto pasta sauce that is free from added sugar. While I'm calling for the marinara, I've also tested this recipe with their cheese flavor and it was equally as ...

Erica Buteau Lost 150 lbs
You're so freaking heavy you outweigh my Chevy!" were daily chants as I boarded the school bus. I'd become subject of the majority of the boys' fat jokes. "You have such a pretty face...you would be so beautiful if you just lost a few pounds," was repeated by so many of my well meaning family members. Three times per week I climbed on the scale in the nurse's office at my elementary school. I listened to all the benefits I could have if I just started making better food choices. The words ...

Keto Raspberry Pavlovas
With berry season in full force and seeing just about every recipe with some sort of berry included, I thought a keto dessert was in order. Pavlovas to me seemed like the perfect dish for a great crisp and a bright fresh flavor. Not only do they taste great, but all the ingredients come together to balance itself out. The creamy filling paired with the fluffy, vanilla-infused crust makes for a perfect bite when the burst of the bright raspberry comes through. The richness and acidity balance ...

Keto Delivered February 2016 Unboxing
In this month's Keto Delivered box, I wanted to bring together some flavors that would go together well with a Valentine's day theme. I thought that chocolate and spice would be perfectly paired when you think of foods that you may have on the special day. I wanted to make sure that all of the larger items would last a long time and would keep fueling recipes from February until the March box was sent out. Alongside the larger items, there were a few smaller items for snacking and taking with ...
