Keto....its what's for dinner!!

Well, being  a pathetic  busy mom, I like to make quick and easy dinners that are on the cheap and possible for the whole family to eat.  You know, without the "but I don't like that, I like what Mimi makes, I like what we had the other night, do I really have to eat this?" Of course, my children are angels and never say things like that. (Insert sigh and sarcasm here). Anywho.... tonight I made hamburger steaks, ok they were hamburger patties but I felt like acting fancy.  I topped them with colby jack cheese and 2 slices of peppered bacon. (If you haven't tried it, you are missing out). Paired it with some sauted veggies and we had us a Keto meal for pretty low cost.  The kids liked it, well they also got to eat some rice but I still call it a score. Getting hamburger in bulk and on sale and keeping it in the freezer has been awesome. Even more awesome is when the patties are pre made! I'm clearly all about the easy way. Moral of this sad dinner story: Keto doesn't have to be hard!

Keto Shortcut Tips

So what is this whole keto thing? The Ketogenic Diet has become so popular lately, it seems it's all I hear about. I wanted to check it out and did a little research. What I found is, it's not your mom and dad's Atkins diet! It's so much more.  It has healthy fats like avocado, dairy products like cheddar cheese (who can't get onboard with that?), and lots of proteins! Basically, foods that fill you up, so you don't constantly feel like you're starving!

In doing this research, ( if you want to call it that), I found that Ketogenic was founded to help so many different ailments, including diabetes and cancer.  This intrigued me so of course, I had to learn more! On this journey, I am hoping to find some healing foods that are easy and yummy. Quick meals that don't break the bank don't feel like diet food! Who's with me?
