June 1, 2018 By Natasha Leave a Comment

This keto Greek Shakshouka topped with crispy salami and served with Halloumi cheese instead of bread is a flavor explosion in your mouth! Perfect for a delicious weekend brunch! This recipe is in collaboration with Lindsay Olives. All opinions are my own, as always!

You guys… today is National Olive Day!

Olives are one of my favorite things to add into all sorts of recipes.

They’re high in good fats and taste delicious and there are so many varieties to choose from.

My favorite olives to use are the Naturals line from Lindsay Olives There’s no weird stuff in them, just olives, salt, and water. They have some new olives that are infused with flavors and I’ll be sharing more recipes later this month!

I created a Greek Shakshouka and snuck in some kalamata olives to add a nice rich flavor to the sauce. If you don’t have kalamata, really any olive will do!…

April 20, 2017 By Natasha Leave a Comment

Team scrambled or team runny yolks? Make this Breakfast BLT any way you like your eggs and drizzle with maple sriracha aioli for a crowd pleaser at your next brunch!

First of all, it’s National BLT Sandwich month. I mean, how many National blah blah days/months do we really need?

Did you know that April is also National Grilled Cheese Month, Food Month, Pecan Month, Soyfoods (ummm, whaaat?) Month, Soft Pretzel (not hard pretzel) Month…. and a million more national food DAYS too.

Holy cow. Just why?

Okay. So BLT’s. I love ’em and make them all the time. They’re easy. They taste good. I usually always have the basic ingredients on hand….

Adding some chipotle peppers to the hollandaise sauce gives these low carb eggs benedict the perfect little kick! Just add some baked ham, and Easter brunch is ready!

This post is in partnership with my friends at Nomiku. They provided me with their new WiFi Nomiku sous vide immersion circulator, but all opinions are always my own!

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve loved ordering eggs benedict when going out to breakfast. The poached egg on top the english muffin with ham and the delicious creamy hollandaise poured all over the top! Mmmmmm…….

Super Seedy and Nutty Granola

Super Seedy Granola

Seeds, seeds, and more seeds. Chia. Hemp. Watermelon. Flax. And nuts, nuts, and more nuts. Almonds. Cashews. Pistachios. Walnuts. That’s what you’ll find in this super seedy and nutty granola! I wanted to throw together an oatmeal-free granola, that was low in carbs, and high in healthy fats with a good amount of protein. Even though oatmeal is technically gluten free since it’s just rolled oats, they are typically processed on the same equipment as the gluten grains and therefore cross contaminated. I know you can find certified gluten free brands on the market as well, but I just wanted to eliminate them altogether….

Gluten Free Carrot Cake Waffles

Gluten Free Carrot Cake Waffles

This recipe is in partnership with Simple Mills. All opinions are my own!

Waffles. Who doesn’t love them?

I love a good waffle from time to time, but let’s be real for a minute… I don’t bake very well. And by bake, I mean make something from scratch that requires sciency stuff to happen. This leaves me few options when looking for a pancake/waffle mix at the store because I really don’t do great with all the gluten free starches and flours in most of them. I was super excited when I came across Simple Mills brand of mixed because they are super clean and in addition to being gluten free, they are also grain free using almond and coconut flours!…

Sweet Potato, Bacon, Egg Breakfast Skillet

Sweet Potato, Bacon, Egg Breakfast Skillet

I love sweet potatoes. And bacon. And eggs. Especially when you add all 3 of these ingredients together in a cast iron skillet. The sweetness of the sweet potatoes with the saltiness of the bacon, and that gooey yolk that acts like a sauce. Here’s an easy recipe that incorporates all 3 ingredients together along with some smoky chipotle seasoning. Enjoy this for breakfast, or really any meal of the day! I use FlavorGod Chipotle seasoning, however you may use a combination of sea salt, cracked pepper, chipotle powder and cumin to achieve a nice smoky flavor with a little bit of heat. In addition to using FlavorGod in all my dishes, I also love using OMGhee brand ghee, however you may choose to use regular butter instead. Ghee is made from butter that has been heated and the milk solids and water removed. I have switched to using butter made from grass-fed/pasture raised cows, such as Kerrygold, due to the health benefits versus grain fed cows.
