If you follow me on MyFitnessPal (Hamenopi), you may notice my macros changed.  Once around 60%, my carbohydrates dropped to 5%. That is a huge change, both nutritionally and mentally. Anne Marie wants to try the keto diet. That’s the high fat, low carb one. It is a radical shift from what I was doing (and planned for) but I want to support her in it. I also don’t want to prepare 3 different meals each night; kids aren’t interested in either. The first week was tough! I missed (and still do) all the vegetables but now in week 2, I’m learning how to integrate them back into my routine. In fact, cabbage is now back on my meal plan in week 2 during lunch. I found it surprising how excited I was to eat cabbage Tuesday. Maybe it was because I just finished working out and was ravenous. Still, I choose cabbage over bacon. That’s saying something. Anyway, week 1 I was struggling getting enough protein. Week 2, now I’m getting too much protein. I think I’m finally figuring...

Picture this. Texas man in the middle of a meat fast on taco Tuesday. Not a pretty picture, eh? But I wasn't going to allow that ground round crackling on the stove to tempt me so I invented Baked Cauliflower Picante . At first taste, I melted but after recomposure, I knew what had to be done. I knew what would elevate this already amazing dish to Olympic proportions. Guacamole! Combining these 2 awesome dishes into one meal was amazing, you just got to try it. But first, you need to know how to make it.

It was taco Tuesday and I was on a meat fast. What do I do? What's more, I have ground round in the pan frying up for the kids. They weren't interested in meat fasting. What do I do?!

What do I do?!!! I went for it!

Mix in olive oil, salt, pepper, and sauce. Line evenly on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, tossing occasionally for 30 minutes. It was fabulous! But as I devoured my first ...
