Sad Summer Fest July 25th, 2019 The Myth, Minneapolis MN (Sorry I am posting this a month and a half after the festival occurred.) I, like some (all) of you, are still reeling from the loss of the Warped Tour. But, thanks to collaboration between a number of pop punk/emo bands, we have a new annual festival to attend to try and fill the hole that Warped left behind. The Maine, Mayday Parade, and State Champs have all for sure been on the Warped Tour at one time or another. They came together to put out a new traveling festival, that is thankfully cooler and less sun damaging than Warped Tour was. I have put together an overview of how the concert was laid out, what you can bring inside, what to expect, and a review of the bands that were on the tour for my date. I hope this is informative, and I hope to see you next year at the Sad Summer Festival. I attended the Sad Summer Festival at The Myth in St. Paul, MN. Warped tour had been held at the Canterbury Park fairgrounds o

Lazy Sunday Keto Fritatta I'm calling this lazy because I was really trying to make a crust-less quiche, but didn't want to turn on the oven. I also did not even bother to crack the eggs in a separate bowl and blend them together with the wet ingredients. I cracked the eggs in a separate bowl because no one wants shell pieces in their food, but I just dumped the whole eggs into the pan with the vegetables and dairy products already in it. Stirring everything together works the eggs well enough. This is high protein and fat, with low carbs. It's also a set it and forget it for an hour while it cooks on the stove-top. I hope you enjoy! Nutritional facts (roughly): Servings 8 Calories 320 Protein 21.5g Fat 23.8g Carbs 4.2g Ingredients: 12 eggs 1/2 c. yellow onion 1 tbsp. olive oil 1 - 2 cloves garlic 4 tbsp. cream cheese 1/4 c. heavy whipping cream 1 c. unsweetened almond milk 10 oz. chopped mushrooms 4 c. broccoli 1 c. cheddar cheese

Keto Protein Chia Pudding This is a really simple chia pudding recipe to get a little extra protein in the morning. It really does keep me full until lunch. I usually eat a handful of nuts after eating this with a couple glasses of water. It's been my current go-to for breakfast lately, since I crave sweet stuff in the morning and there isn't too many easy sweet breakfast dishes out there that I've found. It is a little higher with carbs though, but it's doable when you're watching your other meal macros. Nutritional facts (roughly): Servings 1 Calories 200  Protein 18g Fat 10g Carbs 5g Ingredients: 1 - 2 tbsp. Chia seeds (organic if you can) 1/4 - 1/2 cup Unsweetened almond milk 1/2 Cup full fat Cottage Cheese Sweetener of choice to taste Toppings or add-ins of choice (optional) Directions: 1. Literally just add everything into a bowl or tupperware. 2. Place in fridge and wait about an hour or until it becomes more gel- o

My Keto Meatloaf Here is my adapted recipe for a Keto-style Meatloaf. I'm working on that low-carb lifestyle right now, but I am also working on meal-prepping for my fiancé and I to get through the work week a little easier. Nothing too fancy; it is all pretty common ingredients except for the almond flour or pork rinds. I am a serious ketchup person, and my fiance loves a ketchup-y meatloaf, so just adjust to what your carb count will allow. My Meatloaf. Ehh, let's face it you're not here for my photo-taking skills. Tastes better than it looks. Nutritional facts (roughly): 9 servings Calories 332 Protein 29g Fat 21g  Carbs 5g Ingredients: 1 tsbp. extra version olive oil 1 med. onion chopped (I ended up using 1 tsp. onion powder) 1 stalk celery, chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 tsp. dried oregano 1 tsp. chili powder 2 lbs. ground beef 1/2 cup ground up pork rinds or almond flour 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese 2 eggs 1 tbsp. each soy sauce
