Recipes for February

It’s been a minute since I posted some of my favorite healthy meals.

This weekend I baked a paleo key lime pie and I have also made keto macadamia bread. You have probably heard these words, paleo and keto, around people’s choice of diets/lifestyle, so let’s dive into what they mean, and the similarities and differences between both ways of eating.
