And a youtube sensation! Haha, I have 2 subscribers to my youtube channel. Making videos, writing about ketogenic eating which has given me LIFE, reduced my debilitating fatigue and depression. The wrong food can cause disease. The right food can prevent and cure it! Blogging at KetoCookKC. Now, Keto crackers that are gluten-free and crunch […]

So I accidentally discovered ketogenic eating when I was looking to mitigate some very scary episodes of reactive hyperglycemia that started in January 2017, two years to the MONTH after my gastric bypass surgery. It’s a side effect I wasn’t aware of that happens 2-3 years post surgery…a side effect that happens if you do […]

They said eat low fat. They said buy these no-fat food concoctions. They added sugar to make it palatable. And look what happened! We are fatter than ever. We’re getting cancer and diabetes younger than ever. We are depressed and anxious. They. Were. Wrong. Eat the fat. Feed your brain. I have nothing to sell […]

Sure, it may look like a couple eggs surrounded by nothing but rabbit food, and you’re thinking: I’d be hungry in 8 minutes. But look closer! That is full fat sour cream atop those eggs. That broccoli mix and those pecans were cooked in grass-fed butter. And the leafy greens are drizzled with a balsamic […]

One thing I love about the ketogenic diet, in addition to eating gobs of bonafide buttah, is how simple it can be. And once you rid your taste buds of all the processed crap, the flavor of simple foods comes alive. For this scrumptious high fat-moderate protein- low carb ketogenic masterpiece, I dropped a blob […]

Eat the fat! The healthy oils from nuts, grass-fed butter, and say so long to massive carbs! Use your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, but use almond flour instead, and a sweetener like xylitol (do NOT let your dogs eat this) or stevia instead of sugar. Roast pecans in butter if you fancy that! Use […]

$3.99 on Amazon ~Vientiane, Laos April 1982 Vonlai’s father roused him in the middle of a moonless night. “What? Stop it,” Vonlai mumbled. “Shhh. Wake up,” Pah said, pulling Vonlai’s elbow. “We’re crossing tonight.” Vonlai wobbled on weary legs. Pah strapped a bag of beef jerky and sticky rice around Vonlai’s shoulders. A shudder shot down […]

First, I am on your side. The side that rejects evil/hate. And if any #NAZI scum ever threaten you with physical harm, I stand at the ready to open up a can of Jerry Springer on their ass. But what does freedom of speech in America mean? Imagine if someone insisted that you have no […]
