Quick Fusion Cuisine Tacos is one of my favorite meal when in a time bind. . I use pulled pork from @costco , kimchi and whatever other fixings I may have. The pulled pork and.kimchi combo is one of the best kept secrets. .

Rhubarb and strawberries lemonade with the benefit of added collagen! . This was ridiculously easy to make. 2 stalks of rhubarb, 1/2 cup of monk fruit @lakantosweetener and 1 cup of water, bring to a simmer in a small saucepan til the rhubarb falls apart, strain. In a glass, add lemon juice, rhubarb syrup and water to taste. Add a tablespoon of collagen and mix well (I use my coffee frother), add sliced strawberries and ice cubes. Enjoy! . This is one more way to add collagen to your diet. And what a tasty and refreshing way it is! #collagen30days . . . . . . #rhubarb #rhubarblemonade #ketodrinks #summerdrink #monkfruit #lakanto #healthylifestyle #healthygut #collagen #collageninyourdiet #healthierchoices #digestivehealth #healyourgut #youthfulskin #workingonme #ketogenicdiet #ketoideas #ketolifestyle #virginiablogger #ketovirginia #sterlingblog (at Sterling, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Byqf8_zgykc/?igshid=1evto5fzq0gcv

Hump day is so much better with afternoon tea! I am lucky to work very early, it allows me to have the afternoon to myself. . In following up with #collagen30days I found this wonderful white tea infused with collagen. It's interesting to note that the collagen does not affect the mild, subtle taste of the tea. . And since I am having tea, no need to skimp on a little sweet thing! A friend gave me a @nush_foods Banana Nut Cake which proved to be absolutely delicious with cream and additional crumbled pecans. . I would say this was a perfect hump day afternoon! #humpday . . . . . #afternoontea #ketoafternoontea #ketodesserts #ketofamily #lovestartswithyou #collagen #collagenpeptides #collagenbeautybooster #leakygut #healthydigestion #healthylifestyle #loveyourguts #cakeandcream #metime #noritakechina #becauseitspretty #wednesday #ketovirginia (at Sterling, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Byn2yO3gcXW/?igshid=1wit6vfbp9sh7

When I lived in Vermont I had a friend who would bring me truck loads of manure for my garden and I loved it. I no longer have a garden and my friend still in Vermont but I made a new friend and she brings me eggs. I am not sure she realizes what a lovely gift it is, farm fresh eggs have the most bright yellow yolks loaded with omega 3s and they are delicious to booth! #farmfresheggs . . . . . #farmeggs #farmraised #organic #eggs #eggstatic #organiceggs #ketoliving #ketoeats #lowcarbhighfat #ketostyle #ketoeating #ketofamily #ketofriends #mondaydinner #thecornichon https://www.instagram.com/p/ByijthtgwpJ/?igshid=do3gr3nuvmcm

About last night - Sunday dinners at home are the best! Great time to unwind from the weekend mode and get into work week gear! . Yesterday I whipped this up last minute, it was basic but great! Country fried pork chops, roasted green beans and a caprese salad! #ketodinner . . . . . #ketodinnerideas #porkchops #greenbeans #capresesalad #mozarella #instaketo #ketofam #sundaydinner #thecornichon https://www.instagram.com/p/ByhzED3gRvB/?igshid=1pnzypuyp7syw

#Repost @ricoketo (@get_repost) ・・・ We’re finally jumping on the collagen train and inviting everyone to join in on our 30 day collagen challenge! We invite you to up your collagen intake along with us, share your recipes, any products you’re trying, tips, tricks, and any benefits you notice along the way. Include the hashtag #collagen30days We’ll be excited to hear and see your results. . Why we’re doing this... Did you know collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies? It is a building block that promotes skin elasticity, holds our bones and muscles together, gives structure to joints and tendons, and is an essential component of a healthy gut. Collagen production starts to decline at around age 25...and after menopause it decreases even more for women. . #collagenrich #collagenpeptides #collagen #collagenprotein #bellezacollagen #antiaging #collagenbeautybooster #guthealth #jointhealth #ketocommunity #ketolifestyle #turnbacktheclock #immunesystembooster (at Sterling, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByeECjxAl9U/?igshid=xuv3y62f3n7

I have been so very lucky to work on this beautiful event via @thepartybee I used to collect roses so a Rose Party was a perfect environment for me to be! Not all keto food but some options.

It's a sunny side up kind of day! A persian twist on breakfast. . Duck egg fried on brown butter on a fried low carb tortilla, kale salad, tomato and cucumber salad with lots of dill and mint and fried eggplant! Topped with Aleppo peper for some heat and we are ready to go! I thought of adding a little yogurt but this yolk is so silky and dense that it will stand on its own. .

Zoodles with sardines and fennel! This is my lunch today! I made a sauce with sauteed garlic and fennel, then added sardines and capers at the end. Making it again and trying a couple different tweaks. This dish is promising and will be perfect when zucchini season hits us! .

I say we need to take a trip to San Antonio @raalvir ! What do you think? Thank you @patrickmaese for finding this! #Repost @patrickmaese (@get_repost) ・・・ If I’ve got a favorite sandwich, this one’s it. The @whichwich Wicked. Turkey, ham, roast beef, pepperoni and bacon with three cheeses and your choice of toppings (I like avocado and the hot pepper mix). They do their best to wrap it all up with lettuce, but it’s a big messy affair to be sure. Oh so worth it though. https://www.instagram.com/p/ByRIhglAJrH/?igshid=1jj8xbeawetgu
