A ketogenic lifestyle should be focused on whole, natural, low carb foods. While keto sweet treats are not physically necessary, for many they make this lifestyle more sustainable. It’s much easier to say no the free donuts at the office if you know you can make keto donuts at home. Just keep in mind that ...Read More
Everly Hydration Drink Mixes
When following a ketogenic lifestyle, some of the foods we eat have less water in them than some of the foods we avoid. This makes it extra important to drink enough water. In general, you should drink 1/2 an ounce of water for every pound that you weigh each day. For me, this is easier ...Read More
Single Batch Sautéed Mushrooms
You know how most recipes for sautéed mushrooms instruct you to sauté in batches? I don’t know about you, but I usually ignore that instruction and just dump them all in at once. Then, they absorb all the oil and stick to the pan, so I add more oil. After that, they release a lot ...Read More

Getting adequate hydration is important. However, giving up soda, juice, and cow’s milk doesn’t mean you need to drink only water. When choosing a beverage, make sure it has no added sugars. Avoid artificial sweeteners like sucralose or aspartame, opting for erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit instead. Limit your consumption of caffeinated beverages to one ...Read More
Real Good Foods
I love making homemade keto pizza! However, sometimes convenience trumps cooking from scratch. Life gets busy, people get sick, etc., but we still need to feed our kids and ourselves.

Easy Fried Fish
If your kids are like my daughter, the only kind of fish they like is fried fish. Most fried fish coatings are full of carbage, but not this one! For best results, make sure your pan is very hot before putting the fish in. Otherwise the coating will fall off. Also, make sure there is ...Read More
