Fall is finally in full swing! I love fall and all things that are considered “cold weather food.” My all time favorite fall flavor is pumpkin spice. These pumpkin spice waffles are perfect to satisfy your cravings. Not only is this recipe oh so delicious, it’s also low carb, gluten free, and to die for! …
Living in Chicago means that we don’t have access to some of the best fried chicken. I crave a good recipe for Nashville Hot fried chicken. When we were down south, we ate fried chicken at least three times. Somehow, they just do it way better. But, because we have such a deep love for …
Living a low carb lifestyle for many people can mean sacrificing the best part about food: bold flavors. We’ve spent the last few months trying our best to come up with ways to achieve different flavor in our diet. I love Mexican food probably more than anything else in the whole world, so trying to …
I love cheeseburgers. If I could eat a gourmet burger for dinner every night without dying of a heart attack – I would. Sadly, that’s not the case. But I’ll let you in on a little secret. Even though I’m on the low carb diet, I still enjoy the occasional cheeseburger. And no, I am …
Being on the low carb diet, we’re always looking for new ways to enjoy our favorite proteins. One of the things we enjoy the most is seafood – specifically shellfish.

Alright, I’ll admit it. We’ve spent the last few posts talking about how great we feel since we started eating healthy, and how much we enjoy making low carb meal. The truth? I miss comfort food. Like, real comfort food. The kind you get out of a food truck. Tacos, pizza, french fries, samosas… but what …
We’ve had some issues sticking to our healthy lifestyle as of recently. Summer time in Chicago hit and all bets were off. I don’t know if any of you have ever been to Chicago, but we truly do have an amazing food scene. There’s the typical food staples like deep dish pizza, hot dogs, and …
There’s this restaurant across the street from us that has the best Indian food in Logan Square. It’s affordable, full of flavor, and made with real, fresh ingredients. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. My favorite dish on their menu is the Butter Chicken. Unfortunately, because of our new diet, we’ve cut out …
As we’ve embarked on a road of healthier eating and have specifically focused on a low carb diet, we’ve found we are not sacrificing the things we like to eat the most, and for the most part have been able to satisfy our deep-rooted food desires. The one hangup has been pizza. How do we …
