Checking In
Hey folks! Some of you may remember me being sporadically active around here. Some of you may not / don't care. No worries either way.

Summertime berry recipes
Hey guys, Was just on Trader Joe's website trying to find some contact info for something when I came across a recipe that looks kinda promising!

Coffee Shop tips
Hey all, Cross-posted from another low carb forum I'm in. Hope y'all don't mind seeing double (for those of you in both). The best coffee is surely the one you make at home, right?

Hey folks. I know, I know. Why chicken breasts and not fatty delicious thighs? Well, strangely enough, the breasts are on sale here a lot, and thighs are pretty much ALWAYS more expensive for me. Plus, they have the "structure" to deal with - bones, ligaments, etc. (waste for me because...I suck at making things out of…

New keto dieter on MFP
Hey all, Just a new user intro here. I'm kind of a private person, so you won't see my photo or real name around - it's just how I've always rolled on the Internet.
