Sometimes I think the older I get the more my tastes change. I'm not a fan of spicy food, but Jeff has slowly introduced me to more and more of it that I like. His most recent introduction is homemade jalapeno poppers. I'm happy to say my taste buds are in love with them(as long as they're not burning off).
Read MoreSometimes doing keto is tough. Lately I've been struggling with cravings for sugar packed "girly drinks" I shouldn't have. After scouring xxketo and Pinterest, I found a margarita recipe that sounded pretty good. I ended up making my own version for lazy people who don't like messing with a blender and/or strawberry lemonade. I think it is wonderful even though it's fairly plain.
Read MoreJeff and I headed to Chicago to meet up with a few of our college friends to see Lord of the Rings in concert at Ravinia last weekend. While we were there, we also did a food tour of Wicker Park and Bucktown and headed up to Milwaukee for Irishfest. It was an amazing weekend with little sleep had by all, but totally worth it. I thought I'd share a recap of our food tour by Chicago Food Planet.
Read MoreJeff had his birthday dinner at The Barking Frog in Woodinville this week. He'd been wanting to go for quite a while, so we figured there wasn't a much better time than his birthday. The atmosphere was lodge-y, but not so over the top to be a turn off. We really liked that the menu had a lot of options that would work for keto even though we were taking a night off.
Read MoreLast weekend we (over) loaded the Mazda with 3 of our friends and headed east to a little Bavarian town called Leavenworth, WA. Many of our friends had been and said great things, so we decided a sunny Saturday was the day to go. The trip over was about 2 hours, but the scenery was great.
Read MoreLast weekend Jeff and I hopped a plane to DC to visit his parents. As usual, we spent a lot of time seeing the sites and finding good things to eat. We especially enjoyed the Capitol Hill food tour we booked through DC Metro Food tours. I figured a recap was in order, so read on to hear about it!
