I'm posting these Vanilla Protein Blackberry Crumble Bars in honor of the rebrand over at Equip Foods, my favorite protein brand. These are made with Equip's vanilla Prime Protein, which I love because it has only four ingredients: beef isolate, coconut milk powder, vanilla, and stevia. No gluten, dairy, whey, soy, hormones, antibiotics, fillers, artificial sweeteners, or preservatives. Ma[...]
Hello from 38,000 feet in the air, on my way to spend a week backpacking in the Grand Canyon and exploring Zion National Park. I created this little recipe for low-carb Blueberry Almond Scones as a dense, versatile snack to fuel the trek through the wilderness. But this recipe will be useful for you in any situation if you are experimenting with a low-carb diet to lose weight, prevent[...]
I put this frittata recipe together to showcase one of my favorite brands, that I enjoy almost daily: Vitals Farms. If you're searching for responsibly-sourced protein, Texas startup Vital Farms should be on your radar. The company works with approximately 60 farms to produce and distribute 1.5 million eggs from pastured chickens every week to stores across the country such as Whole Foods[...]
Can you tell I am so ready for spring? These simple springtime-inspired honey lemon cookies helped ease the craving for warm weather, buds opening in the gardens and on trees, and baby animals frolicking (I'm nostalgic for the chicks and foals every year on my parents' ranch back in Texas during my childhood). I also used this cookie recipe as an excuse to dig into honey contamination, adulte[...]
Pastured bone broth: I finally found a shelf-stable brand that is made from grass-fed cows! If you don't have time to spend hours making your own bone broth, Kettle & Fire makes a game-changing broth from organic bones, slow-cooked to draw out the nutrients and collagen hidden deep inside. Get it HERE. Two posts in one week?! 🔥🔥🔥 Yes. It's Christmas D[...]
I first met Pasturebird on Instagram, where I ogled their photos of glossy chickens basking in the sunlight, ranch dogs frolicking in the pasture, and weathered cowboy hats propped on pick-up truck dashboards. Were these stock photos? I wondered. In this cynical age of constant misleading marketing claims made by food brands, this glimpse of a pastoral idyll seemed too good to be true. La[...]
I went in a different direction, flavor-wise, with these oysters (in a big way). With summer in full swing, I wanted to combine the briny freshness of oysters with cherry tomatoes in the height of their season, plus fresh herbs with jalapeño and lime to achieve a real celebration for the palate. I absolutely cannot wait to make this colorful, flavorful plate for friends as a[...]
Meet your new skill, friends. Crafting a seasonal charcuteria board? Adulthood level 1,000,000 unlocked. Maybe you've eyed charcuterie boards on menus at restaurants, or raided them shamelessly at weddings (is that just me?) but now it's time to level up and learn to craft your own. I don't use the word "craft" lightly... While this charcuterie board comes together rapidly once the ingr[...]
