Low Carb Seafood and Scallion Pajeon {Korean Savory Pancake}

I’m a big fan of Asian food, but don’t always find Optavia fuelings friendly to hacking that way. The flavors just aren’t always compatible.

These might be controversial opinions, so please know from the start that these are 100% my own thoughts on maintaining one’s weight.

With this one, the first time I made it, I used full chicken sausages. Two sausages, depending on brand, generally equal one…

Cheese Taco Shells

I don’t know about you, but tacos are one of my absolute favorite foods on the planet. I love the versatility, the flavors, and I even love the way you eat them with your hands. So many of the meals we eat are with utensils. Frankly, tacos are just fun—and why shouldn’t food be fun?…
