I am not a nutritionist or a chef. I’m just a mom that knows what flavors I like and that my family likes. The recipes that I’m sharing this week are some that David has made for dinner. Others are taken from this cookbook which is my April Book Club Pick. I will share the changes or additions I’ve made to the recipes and what page the recipes are on. As a blogger I understand that the author of the cookbook makes her money/livelihood through book sales. I will not share the recipe on my blog. I hope my readers will understand. This is a character decision for me. Simply Keto is the April book and it’s not only a beautiful book but it has all kinds of recipes. I will be using it for the entire month of April. I hope you decide to join my book club as we cook our way through gluten free and low carb recipes. Sometimes we even have wine! !
