Collagen-filled Low Carb Burritos

Low-carb, grain-free Mexican food is hard to find, but it's easy to make your own at home. This recipe has an authentic ingredient: carne de lengua, or beef tongue. Don't be put off: beef tongue is tender, delicious, and full of collagen. Look for it directly from farmers in your area. To cook it, cut it in 1" to 1-1/2" slices and pressure cook for one hour. Enjoy the delicious broth as a bonus. Ingredients 1 slice cooked beef tongue, peeled and cut into small cubes 1 egg wrap (I use these  from Egglife) 1/4 cup cooked black or pinto beans Chili pepper Oregano Garlic (powdered or minced) Cumin Guacamole (with no emulsifiers) Salsa Shredded cheddar cheese Sour cream or homemade cream cheese  with no emulsifiers  Put the egg wrap on a plate and put the beef and beans down the middle of it. Sprinkle with the herbs and spices. Wrap, turn over and microwave for 1-2 minutes. Spoon salsa over the burrito and sprinkle with cheese. Add guacamole and sour cream or homemade crea...

Fitness influencers might look like they're getting incredible results, but in some cases it's because of cosmetic surgery or drugs--or they might even be using fake weights or Photoshop.

Easy cream cheese without emulsifiers

If you love cream cheese but can't find any without emulsifiers, or you wish it was more spreadable, this is the recipe for you. It only takes about 15 minutes' hands-on time and doesn't cost any more than the stuff with freaky ingredients from the store. Plus, it contains live cultures that I find make it easier to digest.

States in the Rust Belt, Appalachia and the Deep South First to Reform SNAP

If I'd had to guess which states would lead the charge to stop SNAP benefits (taxpayer funded supplemental nutrition assistance program) from being used to buy candy and soda, I'd have guessed states with a culture of health and fitness: Hawaii, California and Colorado. California in particular likes regulation.  Photo from Pixabay . But West Virginia, Arkansas and Indiana--t hree of the unhealthiest states in America --came out of nowhere to reform their states' SNAP benefits. West Virginia's governor was first out of the gate when he  requested a waiver to restrict sodas in March, and today, the governors of Arkansas and Indiana requested waivers for not only soda but candy. "Taxpayers should not be subsidizing poor health on the front end and paying for it on the back end with skyrocketing healthcare costs and federal debt," said Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders of Arkansas. Gov. Mike Braun of Indiana said , "More SNAP money is spent on sugary drinks and ...
