Keto Cake for Breakfast

Lyric Holmans

I was raised on cake and ice cream. Our family tradition was gathering for cake and ice cream on on birthdays. Because many family members lived within a reasonable drive from one another there were many gatherings and more cake and ice cream than I can count or remember.

Due to my new restrictive diet, this birthday came and went with without cake. The keto diet doesn’t allow for cheating and almost everything we eat has to be made from scratch. I’ve got more experience with savory foods than sweets and had not found the confidence or time to pick up a new cake recipe yet.

This morning David woke up and decided to bake our first Ketogenic cake. It was delicious!

Happy belated birthday. Continue reading Keto Cake for Breakfast

Last night we had a three course Keto meal. We started with mozzarella sticks, fried avocados, and queso. For dinner, we had a pizza topped with avocado and red peppers. To round it out we finished off with vanilla ice cream. and mixed in a few dance moves, just for fun.

Overall it was an amazing birthday. After all, age is just a number and you’re only as old as you feel. Continue reading 30th Birthday Shenanigans – Dancing in Our Kitchen a Keto Birthday

Is The Modern Lifestyle Deadly? – Returning to a Natural Rhythm

Lyric Holmans

The way we live is out of tune with nature. Everything is artificial, fluorescent lights, recirculated air, and genetically modified foods. What happened to the sun, a fresh breeze and food made the old fashioned way.

Is anything real these days? Does anybody care?

Our ancestors used up physical energy harvesting foods and hunting, they earned every calorie they took in. Nothing was handed to them on a plate and everything was fresh. They ate real, organic, whole foods, exercised constantly and spent most of their time outdoors. Continue reading Is The Modern Lifestyle Deadly? – Returning to a Natural Rhythm

Good Day or Bad Day? It’s All How You Look at it – Six Steps to Positive Thinking

Lyric Holmans

Our joy, and perhaps even our curse, as human beings often come from our ability to chose the way we will view and interpret the world. People who are able to grow a more sunny outlook on things are happier and have less stress than those who tend to focus on their problems. It seems like a no-brainer – always think about the best parts of every situation. Still, many of us find ourselves stuck on the negatives. Continue reading Good Day or Bad Day?
