Last week I got a little overly ambitious with my planned recipes and unfortunately when work got busy cooking an elaborate dinner was the last thing I wanted to do. So I’ve decided to play it a little more low key this week, but still just as delicious and healthy […]
Low Carb
Sheet Pan Brats & Fall Veggies
Now tell me, who doesn’t love a sheet pan dinner? This super simple and delicious recipe only about 10 minutes to throw together and then the oven does the rest of the work, leaving you plenty of time to, you know, get the rest of your chores done. This is […]
Low Carb Steak Fajitas
Flank steak (when done right) is one of my very favorite cuts of meat and is far more economical (and in my opinion more flavorful) than many other more expensive options. The keys to getting a super tender flank steak are to tenderize it with a meat mallet (or rolling […]
