I love your blogs! So interested in making and buying some of the salad dressings and also some of the desserts.
Thanks Lea!
Great post! I want to try these recipes. They’re easy yet delicious!
I’ve been vegetarian for 45 years. Can’t figure out if I can do this, because it’s restricted and most of you are depending on meat, fish. And it’s so new, I’ve seen so many fad diets come and go. They all has the newest science backing their diets. And I hate coconut. Still reading up on different websites. Some of the foods you can eat are also expensive. Like berries.
My doctor put me on Keto/Atkins a month ago, telling me only to use Olive Oil or Avocado Oil. I researched grocery store brands and they have canola, vegetable etc in their dressings so this sight has really helped me. I am going to try several. Thanks for making this transition a bit easier.
