RODs

A humongous problem I felt that I was going to run into before I started living keto was the food. I had no idea what I was going to eat, and I felt like once I found a recipe or two that I enjoyed, I would be eating those two meals every other day. Thankfully, with the help of many cookbooks, other bloggers, and Pinterest I have found, and will be sharing my 3 FAVORITE KETOGENIC RECIPES.

You don't want to miss out of my favorite RODs,

or Recipes of the Day!!!
