The search is on for different ways to make sandwiches and burgers into wraps. Who needs another boring lettuce-wrapped burger recipe? Not me. I've been finding different ways to use lettuce---and different types of lettuce to use---for the better part of a year now.

Turkey & Poblano Egg Muffins
Breakfast isn't really my thing anymore. Since doing keto, I rarely eat breakfast. Intermittent fasting really is my go-to to start the day.

Brown Butter Garlic Mushrooms
I've had this unhealthy obsession with mushrooms ever since I was a little kid. Most people, and most kids, flinch at the sight of cooked fungi, but not me.
