    Keto Egg Muffins

    These make-ahead keto egg muffins make a great grab-and-go breakfast or even a mid-day snack. Sometimes it’s nice to change things up a bit. These egg cups make a great alternative to the usual scrambled eggs and bacon keto breakfast. Once you mix together the egg base, you can create any number of different flavor combinations. Just add in your choice of meat, cheese and veggies and bake for a delicious, portable breakfast. Once these egg muffins cool completely, I store in a glass container in the refrigerator. However, if I’m going to be traveling with these, I place them in a plastic ziplock bag and pack in a cooler.…

    Convenient Keto Snacks on the go:

    These convenient Keto friendly snacks are great when you’re on the go and don’t have time to prepare something from scratch. I have personally packed all of these keto snacks on various road trips. In fact, I regularly keep Quest bars, almonds, Whisps, salame, cheese and beef jerky on hand for hiking snacks. They are all very portable and most don’t require refrigeration. Although the cheese and salame would be ideal in a cooler with an ice pack, they are perfectly fine for a few hours in a backpack. I wouldn’t trust the chocolate bars on a hike, but the quest bars are completely stable. CHEESE WHISPS | PICKLE BITES…

    One Day in Rocky Mountain National Park

    If you only have one day to visit Rocky Mountain National Park it might be hard to pin down which places to see. Whenever we are crunched for time at a national park we make the best of our stay and think of it like a sampler. We know it’s impossible to see it all in a short amount of time, therefore picking a few highlights lets us experience the park without stressing too much or feeling pressed for time. The first thing we do once we enter a national park is drive to the nearest visitor center to talk with a ranger. You will receive a map when you…

    Lunch at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco

    The Garden Court at the Palace Hotel When I’m planning out our travel itinerary, I love to find really special places to eat. I had such a good experience with the afternoon tea at the Georgian Hotel in Seattle that I wanted to find a similar venue to enjoy tea in San Francisco. Months before our trip, I stumbled upon the Garden Court at the Palace Hotel. Afternoon tea is served on Saturdays and as luck would have it we were going to be in San Francisco over the weekend. I was beyond excited! Unfortunately, I waited too long to make reservations and the tea seating had been filled. I…
