About

Welcome! Thanks for stopping by!

I’m Erica and with the help of my husband we’ve created this site to share a bit about my life struggle with my health, weight, and my journey to become a healthier me.

A bit about me: I’m a full time teacher, a wife 💖, a woman who lives with anxiety and depression, and someone who lives with constant back pain that doctors are still trying to figure out... oh the joys of health care. I’ve dealt with PCOS, endometriosis, being pre-hypertensive, gerd, etc... 

Essentially everything that comes with years of eating processed junk and a joyful mix of genetics. I’m sharing about my life, tips and tricks that have helped me on this journey, and some of the yummy low carb recipes I absolutely love! I hope you walk away with something useful and please share what has helped you too!

Review: Lakanto Blueberry Muffin Mix

Image
It's the most wonderful  hectic time of the year! Some days I will put in the effort to make things from scratch and other days I just need something easy peasy. On my shopping trip to Clark's Nutrition today (my local health food store), I picked up this muffin mix for $7.69!   The directions were easy to follow! It didn't take much effort to get them going.  I used a hand mixer for each of the steps. I also used butter instead of the suggested coconut oil.  I used my ice cream scoop to fill up my muffin tins and left them in the oven for 12 minutes. There were 12 servings for this package and 1g net carb per serving. So, each of these muffins is 1g net carb! Pretty awesome if you're counting carbs! Time - super fast! I spent about 20 minutes form beginning to end. Texture - they were nice and fluffy, not super dense like other mixes. Taste - did not have an intense blueberry flavor, but did not have any funky after taste either. Overall I woul

Staying Keto at Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles

Image
Being Keto should not keep you from going out to eat! I was at a conference recently in Anaheim, just minutes away from Disneyland! The group I was with decided to go out for dinner and they chose Roscoe's. They were concerned about my dietary preferences and offered to go elsewhere instead. If you don't know, Roscoe's is known for delicious fried chicken and scrumptious waffles. Googling this place, you'll see there are not many low carb/keto options, but you can stay keto and eat here! I am always up for the challenge of finding something to eat, wherever I go, so we went to Roscoe's. Even our table was super sticky from all of the delicious syrup going around.  I stared at the menu for a bit and settled on the Chef salad with ranch. It was good, and the chicken was great! I had the smell of fresh, warm, delicious waffles surrounding me, and even that did not make me regret my decision of sticking with a low carb option. If you want an
