I would love to say Sweet Potato Toast is the best thing since sliced bread, but it just isn't. Calling this meal toast gives you the completely wrong idea going into your first bite. If you're expecting a texture resembling anything like the real deal then you will be sadly disappointed.

2016 is almost over, only 3 weeks left. Can you believe it? Did you accomplish all your goals for this year? If not, did you get close? As we head into the holidays it’s normal to find less time for the gym; many folks just completely quit going, figuring they will start back up next year.

I've been working on a great Turkey Burger recipe for awhile now. Every Sunday turkey burgers are a part of my families meal prep. Turkey is a great lean protein and making it into individual patties for the week helps with portion control. I've tried several different ways of making the turkey burgers light and juicy while keeping them keto/whole30 and I finally found a recipe that works!

My recipe uses coconut aminos, if you haven't tried them, they are good on almost everything! It's a paleo/whole30 approved seasoning.

Wherever you may be in your fitness or life journey, know that you have the power to alter your destiny if you just take that first step. This week’s Monday Motivation comes from one of our members, Brittany Pierre. I was truly moved by her story, so today, with her permission, we bring it to you in her own words and hope you will find it as inspiring as I did.

I saw this recipe for Salt and Vinegar Potatoes the other day that sounded amazing, but I needed a way to make it Keto for my husband. I tried the same recipe, but combined potatoes and cauliflower. I could eat the potatoes which were Whole30 and he could eat the low carb cauliflower.

Getting Back on Track
After the Holiday Weekend

Thanksgiving is over and if you’re like most people, you ate way too much of the foods you don’t normally eat. Indulging in rich, calorie-dense foods from time to time won’t really set you back any; and in fact, if you’re highly active, an occasional cheat meal can be good for your metabolism and hormones.

I've been cooking Thanksgiving for my family for almost 10 years now. It's one of my favorite holidays to cook for and I look forward to it all year long. However, this year I happen to be 3 weeks into my Whole30 and some of those traditional recipes arent going to make the cut.

This week as we celebrate Thanksgiving, we are reminded of all the wonderful things in our lives and how grateful we should be for them. Gratitude is one of the most powerful qualities we can possess. It allows us to see our blessings however small, and keeps life's challenges from becoming overwhelming.

I've never been a fan of boxed stuffing mix and canned cranberry sauce, so last year I searched through several recipes and came up with my own using fresh ingredients that were all Whole30 and Paleo. I use ground turkey rather than sausage in the stuffing and no added sugar in the cranberry sauce so I don't feel as guilty getting second helpings of these on Thanksgiving Day! 😉

Thanksgiving Stuffing

Ingredients:

Sausage - (You can buy any sausage you like, however using ground turkey combined with the sausage seasonings will reduce the fat and calories in this meal.
