How it's going Reader? Happy October! Anyone else already planning their holiday baking? This weekend, we picked out our pumpkin, carved it, roasted the seeds with a little salt and avocado oil, and tested some pumpkin pie recipes. My daughter insisted on saving exactly 20 pumpkin seeds for her garden. Exactly. 20. It's a 6 year old thing, we wouldn't understand, right!? Anyways, this keto pumpkin bread recipe is super popular, probably because it's suuuper moist, like bakery levels. Made...

How it's going Reader? I know we don’t need our snacks to look like tiny pumpkins...but also, yes we do. 🎃 These pumpkin energy bites are high protein, low carb, no bake, and honestly just plain adorable. Soft, spiced, and shaped like little pumpkins with a chocolate chip stem on top — because obviously. This one bowl recipe is a must-make for October! Pumpkin Energy Bites See all recipes! Have fun! :) xoxo Olivia

How it's going Reader? If you're doing carnivore or keeping it high protein, low carb & keto… and suddenly every snack feels overdone, you have to try these steak nuggets for that exact reason. I cut it into chunks, dunked it in an egg, rolled it in pork rinds and parmesan, froze it for like… 28 minutes (I got impatient), and fried it in tallow until it looked crispy enough to burn my mouth on. Which I did. Immediately. They were perfect. Golden, crunchy, salty, juicy steak nuggets. I stood...

How it's going Reader? Here’s the thing about soup. I love it. Deeply. Possibly too much.Because it’s the only meal prep I can commit to without needing a full-blown motivational speech. You make it once. That’s it. No portioning, no weird containers that leak in your bag, no crying into your 5-day-old chicken. Just a big cozy pot of something warm and flavorful sitting in the fridge like a little security blanket. And I swear, soup leftovers are built different. Like, they want to be...

How it's going Reader? Okay so it’s not technically cold outside, but I’m declaring it: cozy food is in season. I don’t care what the weather app says. I lit a candle that smells like warm vanilla woods and made this broccoli cheese frittata, so fall has begun in this house. And listen… I didn’t mean to make a frittata. I was just trying to use up the rest of the eggs, some sad broccoli, and a little leftover shredded cheese that’s been floating around the fridge since back-to-school started....

How it's going Reader? I’ve been obsessed with chai tea lattes since I was 22, when I lived in Colorado, I tried one at a little coffee shop called Paris (of course). Oh 2009, what a time to be alive. This chai spice mix is my go-to now. Because store-bought is usually full of weird sugars and filler garbage that no one on this planet asked for or needs. This one’s cozy, clean, and ready for lattes, protein shakes, cookies, all of it. Also: trying to plan ahead for Halloween this year, but...

How it's going Reader? It’s September 9. Which means I’m lighting a pumpkin candle, sweating through my hoodie, and baking something with maple because fall is a mindset. These protein maple pecan blondies are what I like to call a “seasonal soft launch.” Sweet, chewy, nutty little squares of comfort that give all the cozy dessert feels... but still check the box for being high protein and low carb. We love a responsible-ish treat. I made them during that weird back-to-school energy where I...
