Have you heard of Cincinnati Chili? Skyline? Gold Star? If you have ever lived in (or probably even if you only traveled to) Cincinnati then you know what I am talking about! It’s like no other “chili” you will ever have and is a taste you will most likely forever crave!! It’s also not very low carb. Not that the chili is specifically high in carbs, but it is served over spaghetti, in a hot dog bun or wrapped up in a tortilla making lots of empty carbs just part of the deal. Well, my favorite way to eat it was always as a chili burrito deluxe, as it is called, and I found an incredible work around that tastes every bit as good as the original that I wanted to share with you. A huge “THANK YOU” to @cutdacarb for offering their incredible low carb flat bread so that this creation is even possible! • Start with shredded lettuce, fresh diced tomorrows and onions to line each side of your plate. • Take a room temperature @cutdacarb flatbread and add 1/2 cup of Cincinnati chili and a handful of finely shredded cheddar cheese to the inside and roll it up. • Place the wrap in an air fryer for about 5-10 minutes just to crisp it up a bit. • place the warmed wrap on the middle of your plate and drizzle with another 1/2 cup of Skyline or Gold Star chili and another sprinkle of cheese, and a dollop sour cream if you like, and you have an amazing and yummy Cincinnati favorite for a fraction (and I do mean fraction!) of the carbs and sugar!! Original All Chili Burrito Deluxe: 45 carbs My Lower Carb Version: 15 carbs Woohoo - enjoy!!! #skylinechili #goldstarchili #cincinnatichili #lowcarb #lchf #lowercarb #cutdacarb #healthyrecipes #skylinelowcarb #lowcarbskyline

I celebrated my 25th wedding anniversary with my incredible husband this weekend ……surrounded by our dear friends and family. It was amazing and I am still soaring from the night! 25 years y’all 😳 💕 #25thweddinganniversary #annivesarycelebration #happy25thanniversary

So, my husband introduced me to Bibibop yesterday. We had a rare moment to grab a lunch together and the low carb options and delicious Asian flavors enticed me. I wanted to share with you because it did not disappoint! If you haven’t been there before, think Chipotle, but Asian inspired. AND their food contains NO msg & NO gluten - in anything! I built my own bowl and ate every bite! My bowl contained: • super green salad (base) • “fried rice” style cauliflower rice • cucumbers • sesame kale • carrots • eggs • toasted sesame broccoli • steak & chicken Absolutely delicious! A pretty great choice when you need to grab something quick that taste good and won’t wreck your health goals. Happy New Year!!

Friends, I have another deal to share with you! This one was from my local @meijerstores. For those who don’t know, @fitvine_wine is a keto friendly wine and actually tastes good! 🥂🥂 They had Chardonnay at my Meijer which is going great with tonight shrimp scampi! 🍤🍤 I hope you can find this great deal at your local Meijer, as well. It’s worth stocking up when you are saving $10 per bottle for sure!! #ketowine #keto #lowcarb #fitvinewine #lowsugar #lowcarbwine

At our local Kroger stores this week! I am a HUGE fan of the Lily’s chocolates and stocked up - okay I bought this location completely out of the caramels ☺️💗 When these things are $6.00 a bag this is a post worthy sale!!! #lilyschocolate #keto #ketotreats #sugarfree #lchf #lowcarb @krogerco

The perfect Sunday fall afternoon 💗🍂🍁 #r&r #sunday #fall #autumn #horses

Our family has “Mexican Mondays” or “Taco Tuesdays” nearly every week and have for years as it is one of our favorite cuisines! 🌮🌯🇲🇽 Unfortunately, I pretty much gave it up for a couple of years when I “went keto”. One of the dishes I missed the most was chimichangas - shrimp chimichangas to be exact! 🍤🍤🍤 We have been using these @cutdacarb wraps to make the most amazing burritos, enchiladas and chimichangas EVER! I mean, look at that shot of my homemade shrimp chimichanga! It rivals anything I ever had out at any Mexican restaurant. AND it doesn’t contains all the useless carbs and terrible toxic oils. 🙌🙌🙌 I am also able to enjoy chips and salsa or guacamole with NO guilt or bloating! I brush a @cutdacarb wrap with avocado oil and salt and toast it in the oven before breaking into “chips” to use for dipping. SO delish!!! Do yourself a favor and try stepping up your Mexican cuisine night AND stay low carb and feeling great!! And, no, this post is not sponsored in any way. I just love that I can enjoy one of my favorite meals again and wanted to share with YOU! Mmmm……just looking at these pics make me hungry! ☺️🌮🍤👍🏻 #mexicanmonday #tacotuesday #chimichangas #lowcarb #lowcarbmexicanfood #keto #ketomeals

BEST and WORST of my Costco Keto “weekend at the lake” haul: I LOVE this @parmcrisps ranch snack mix! To make it extra good I added Macadamias to my snack bag….mmm! I wish they would have those in place of the cashews anyway. They crunchy parm crisps and ranch seasoning are delicious and kept me from being even a little envious of others in my group eating other snack mixes! This one is a winner y’all!! 👏🙌👍🏻🏆 On the flip side; the Cauliflower bites….um, NOT my thing. I tried to like them, but between the very strong smell and the aftertaste it was a total “thumbs down” for me. 🤢👎🏻 I really hope some of you will be enjoying some days at the lake with friends and family as we say farewell to summer and I hope you enjoy some guilt free snacking while you are at it! 😉☺️ #ketosnacking #ketosnacks #keto #lowcarb #ketotravelsnacks #parmcrisps
