The beauty of the Instant Pot is that it does so many things very well. But today I’m talking about its use as a rice cooker. I’ve owned a Zojirushi rice cooker and when I got my IP, I sold the Zojirushi immediately. The IP cooks white, brown, and wild rice perfectly, and I saw no need to have two…

Hard-boiled eggs are the unsung heroes of weight loss. They’re not only a super convenient snack, but they also pack a punch in the health department. First off, they’re rich in protein, which helps keep you feeling full and satisfied, so you’re less likely to snack on calorie-loaded treats.

Ages ago I found a wonderful shrimp recipe at Best Keto Recipes. They say it takes 20 minutes, but somehow for me it only takes 10. Either way, this is a fantastically easy and delicious weeknight dinner. I use flash-frozen shrimp that I get at the market which I thaw overnight in the refrigerator. It takes just minutes to get…

Especially since I adore salmon. And easy dinners. Health benefits of salmon Salmon is a nutritional powerhouse, packed with high-quality protein that helps me feel full and satisfied…

This is my favorite lunch – I serve it with a toasted slice of Keto bread and it is perfect! You just mix diced egg with cottage cheese (instead of mayo), sugar free sweet pickle relish, and mustard. Couldn’t be easier! I just ate the egg salad in the photos 2 minutes ago. It is so tasty and keeps me…
