I've been off and on my keto journey (mostly off) for the past two years. I'm restarting the journey today with new purpose and new focus. In April 2019, I left a high stress job that was taking more toll on my mental and physical health than I wanted to admit to. Since then, I … Continue reading It’s been a while…

Loaded Cauliflower Bake
I have always loved loaded baked potatoes and loaded mashed potatoes, though. Everything is better with bacon, butter, and cheese, right? This recipe mimics a loaded baked potato.
