5 Minute Keto Pesto
July 9, 2015 by 7 Comments

Cold weather changes everything about how I want to eat. Doesn't matter how many salads I've been making, when the temperature drops, I want a bowl of something hot. I've been eating this way long enough to know that soups were one of the first places I figured out you don't have to give anything up. The classic versions are loaded with flour thickeners and high-carb vegetables. The keto versions just swap those out for cauliflower, heavy cream, and bone broth, and you end up with something that ...
