Green Tomatillo Salsa with Cilantro and Lime

Prep Time: 3 minutes
Cook Time: 20
Serves: 3.5 cups

Tomatillo means “little tomato” in Spanish and that’s essentially what it is. Small, firm and green with a lantern-type paper covering, most people miss them in the produce aisle. When roasted, the firm acidic meat of the tomatillo transforms into a sticky-sweet tomato caramel you'll want to serve with everything. That being said, the naturally occurring sugars in the salsa are better absorbed in our bodies by adding a healthy fat such as MCT or avocado oil.

Iced Bulletproof Coffee

It is officially caliente outside, all the windows are wide open and those fans are spinning. I decided to make my morning hot bulletproof a little more weather appropriate. You can also blend it to make it a coffee milk shake aka "frappuccino," fancy right?

Collagen Keto Lemon Bars

Okay, who doesn't love a lemon bar? I mean really, they are so dang good, but loaded with sugar, processed white flour, and more sugar. So being the baker that I am (NOT I am horrible at baking, this took me 3 times) I personally think this recipe is BOMB, no sugar or gluten, but yes a lot of butter.
