Pain is a concept everybody knows and understands. Fortunately, there is no shortage of ways to respond to aches and pains but personally I am not a fan of taking pharmaceuticals and other drugs - even common pain relievers. Instead, I prefer to deal with it by managing the sensation naturally.

The key to being able to succeed though is focusing on balance and creativity. So, with that in mind I walked around my local grocery store a few days ago and dreamed up two easy to make keto recipes. My conditions for success were: 1) it had to taste great 2) it had to have good colors that were visually interesting and 3) it had to be easy to make. Plus, ultimately it had to follow a fairly strict interpretation of the keto nutrition guidelines.
