Recipe: Avocado Peach Salsa

Recipe: Avocado Peach Salsa

Who would have thunk that avocados and peaches would just naturally fit together to make an incredible taste?

Salsa’s a perfect accompaniment to almost any meal, however this sweet and spicy concoction goes best with fish (salmon) or chicken, and grilled preferred.  Quick, there is only a few days left of summer!

Did you know that salsa is Spanish for sauce, usually based in tomatoes.  This however doesn’t have any tomatoes to be found!  I don’t care.  HA!  It’s delish no matter what you call it.

Recipe: Spinach and Artichoke Dip (NonDairy)

Ever try a recipe which you just know can’t be any good, but you are willing to give it a try anyway because you know it’s good for you, in fact, better for you than most other things … and then you are SHOCKED because it’s way better than you dreamed of?

This is one of those recipes.

Who knew cashews could taste like cheese?

If you did know this, then how come you haven’t said anything, like yelled it from the mountaintops that roasted and unsalted cashews are an awesome sub for cheese in dishes that require heat (temperature)?

I made this, and […]

Recipe: Coconut Butter

This really isn’t a recipe, but more about how much I am in love with coconut butter!  ::giggle::

I am really trying to move away from dairy being the predominant high fat source, so looking more and more into using nut butters as a substitute for dairy, for some things.  With coconut butter being 87% fat, it fits in very nicely with the HIGH FAT lifestyle.

Coconut butter however has been cost prohibitive for me, I couldn’t justify purchasing a jar for $12-$14 and kept putting it off.  I came across how to make it yourself, and I had a pound of […]

Recipe: 80% Fat Breakfast – Bacon, Eggs, Avocados and Tomatoes with Spicy Mayonnaise

Recipe: 80% Fat Breakfast – Bacon, Eggs, Avocados and Tomatoes with Spicy Mayonnaise

Been working with a few clients lately (as guinea pigs!) to test a true ketogenic diet, which is at least 80% fat.

For some out there, it’s pretty easy to get your fats up to 65-70% – it’s that extra 10-15% that leaves them scratching their head.

If there is one thing I can do, and do well, is to manipulate a menu to meet requirements, no matter what it is.

There is a buzz right now all around the internet about being in nutritional ketosis, and using that as a way to either lose weight, or for some, just simply maintain when […]

Recipe: 80% Fat Lunch – Creamed Spinach and Chicken on a Bed of Asparagus

I love high fat, did I ever mention this?

This was so super simple to make, from start to finish it was around 20 minutes. And as it was cooking my daughter was like, Mom, what smells so good? Guess who got the only serving I made that day?

::giggle::

This debunks the theory that you can’t have much veggies while on a true ketogenic diet, or you can’t put yourself into nutritional ketosis with veggies. I say, bah humbug. Don’t ever tell me you can’t do something.

I do have to admit however, that this is awfully GREEN – it needs some color, […]

Recipe: Bombs of Fat

The beauty of living the high fat way of life is that hunger is seldom an issue, and energy is in abundance, that sometimes you just forget to eat.

I know, unreal right?

But seriously, not eating is really NOT an option when you are doing high fat.  High fat works better when you are not starving yourself, but instead, giving your body the energy it needs to serve you well.

That is why these little things are so incredibly awesome on a high fat way of life.  It provides in just a little package everything that you would need to move on […]

Recipe: Paleo Carrot Muffins

What is Paleo anyway?

If you look around the internet, you are going to find a whole host of definitions. But for simplicity sake, consider it basically this:

Meat + Veggie (Fruits in Moderation) + Fat + Herbs/Spices = Happy Paleo

I am not fond of the Paleo lifestyle, preferring more of a Primal outlook, this is a subject for another day, the whole Paleo vs Primal thing.

In any case, I was sent this recipe by a client asking me to give it a shot.  For something that is non-grain, gluten-free, they were pretty darn tasty … if you can get […]
