Ok, I know, I know - it's not quite soup season. But that doesn't stop me from craving a big bowl every now and then. And when that craving hits, this slow cooker taco soup hits the spot.
This soup is all about that keto life - so it's high fat, low carb, and got a flair of dairy. Obviously, not paleo. But if you can do dairy, this soup is for you.
The creaminess of this soup comes from the cream cheese. Add in ground beef, garlic, onion, fire-roasted tomatoes, and taco seasoning - the flavor combo is just heavenly.
Arguably, the beset part of this recipe is that there is minimal work involved - thanks to the slow cooker. All you ...

Lemon Caper Tuna Wraps
Canned tuna is one of the best proteins out there — it’s super nutritious, and requires absolutely no effort, just open the can and eat. That being said - quality is important.
If possible, we advocate for choosing brands that are sustainably sourced. Choosing a brand that says the tuna has been caught by pole and line is something I try to do. This means that the fish were caught one by one - not by using a big net that scoops up a bunch of other marine life at the same time.
I like the brand Wild Planet, Ocean Naturals, and the Whole Foods brand.
These easy lettuce wraps require pretty much that same amount of effort as opening a ...
