What is the Keto Rash?
The keto (or ketogenic) diet is a high-fat and low-carb dietary plan. It's followed religiously to reap the rewards by those on the diet. Unfortunately, this means some unwanted side effects can occur. This is the same with any major dietary change.

Turkey Sausage Patties with Lemon Spinach
I'm really excited about these turkey sausage patties with lemon spinach. Let me tell you why...
If I'm being totally honest, I eat eggs for breakfast a lot. Scrambled, fried (or "bubble" as my boyfriend calls them), in an omelet, poached, hard-boiled. Literally, I like them all.
But sometimes, a girl's gotta switch it up a little bit. And with my experience working with nutrition clients, I know that not everyone feels the same about eggs as I do. In fact, one of the most frequent requests we get is for egg-free breakfast recipes.
If you have ever found yourself wondering if a paleo breakfast without eggs is possible, bookmark ...

Herbed Chicken Omelet
With most things in life, simpler is better. And this herbed chicken omelet is no exception. With fresh herbs of your choosing, cooked shredded chicken, and eggs, this omelet is packed with protein and flavor for the ultimate, simple breakfast.
Now, when most people start to eat "healthy," a common complaint we might hear is that the food is so bland. Most of the time, this is because people are actually eating BLAND food. Boiled chicken and steamed vegetables are as bland as can be.
I always encourage these people to actually flavor their food. Crazy idea, I know. But spices - especially the ones from Trader Joe's - are a ...

Shrimp and Veggie Chowder
The changing temperature outside makes me want to eat all the soups, stews, and chilies. This shrimp and veggie chowder hits the spot for chilly autumn nights.
Of course, some people might say the star of the show in this recipe is the shrimp. And I'd agree with that. But I don't think we should overlook the crazy amount of vegetables in this yummy chowder either. Get your veggie on in a completely delicious way when you eat just one bowl of this chowder.
"What veggies specifically?" you may be asking. Well, I'm partial to carrots, celery, onion, red bell pepper, and zucchini. But quite honestly, you could use whatever sounds good ...

Spinach and Avocado Scramble
I've probably made this spinach and avocado scramble 1239487234897234987 times over the years. It's THAT easy and versatile. And like I've said before, I always feel really good about myself anytime I can sneak vegetables into my breakfast.
For all our keto-following friends out there, this is a great breakfast option for you as well. You've got your protein and fats in there and a bunch of micronutrients as well.
The boost of flavor in this recipe comes from two of my most favorite ingredients ever - shallot and garlic. Let's be honest, anytime a recipe calls for garlic, I (at least) double what it calls for. As for shallots, they ...

But we all grow up eventually, and you start to choose "better" cereals - ...

I'm a savory breakfast type of person. While I love a good waffle or pancake every now and then, I most often opt for something hearty. And on a special occasion, this type of breakfast is my go-to.
Let's be honest, a good cut of beef isn't exactly cheap. And now more than ever, I make an effort to buy the highest quality meat that I can afford. I want to support farms that are pursuing agriculture in the right way - using sustainable methods ...
