This is the keto friendly recipe my wife came up with for homemade pizza. I was skeptical at first but now it has (mostly) replaced take out and frozen pizza in our home.
Ingredients:
Lavash bread, brushed on both sides with olive oil. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes at 425 degrees until brown and crispy.
Avocado Sauce: One ripe avocado mixed with at least three tablespoons salsa of your choice and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.
Toppings of your choice (Canadian bacon, cooked Italian sausage or ground beef, onions, green peppers, mushrooms, etc.)
Mozzarella cheese
Directions:
Spread sauce over the crispy bread, add toppings and then sprinkle the cheese on top. Bake at 425 degrees for 7 – 10 minutes.
Once a month I highlight a piece of art I have created and posted on my Fine Art America site. This one is titled Abandoned from the Photos Collection.

When you are born
It begins
Welcome to the cycle
That includes your death
If you consider
The in between
What can you make of it?
Is there beauty?
Could there be wonder
And joy
With the others
You are with?
There is a window to look through
And a wall to die against
Time well spent
And wasted
Eons came before
And eternity will follow
The time of you
The In Between

One of my early teachers in elementary school was a short, round and very nice lady named Mrs. Smith. She wore thick glasses that made her eyes always look to be smiling. She seemed almost ancient to me, but as a little kid most people are older than you, some much older. She was very helpful if you had a problem with the schoolwork, and would bend over your desk very close so as to guide you through your trouble. And that is when it became apparent that the only thing wrong with this wonderful, devoted teacher was…her breath. It was horrible, burning your nose and leaving a terrible taste in your mouth, or so it seemed. When she was helping other students up close you could see the different methods deployed by them to avoid it: leaning back, nonchalantly holding a hand over the nose, holding breath. I felt sort of sorry for her, and I wondered if she did not know or maybe didn’t care, but it was just something to put up with because none of us would dare tell a teacher her breath was stinky enough to “gag a maggot” as the saying went. It was not uncommon back then for students to give teachers little gifts, and one day Mrs. Smith had one sitting on her desk, wrapped in pretty paper with her name written on it. She announced she would open the anonymous gift in front us. With a smile she unwrapped the gift and there in her hands was a giant bottle of Listerine. There was some snickering and guffaws as she held it up proudly for all to see, and then gently set it back down on the front of her desk, making sure the label faced the class. She thanked us for a wonderful gift, and started in on the lessons for the day. As the days then weeks went on the bottle continued to sit on her desk where she had placed it, her breath no better, her cheerful attitude unchanged.
This spring so far has been a cool one. There have been a few mid 70 and 80 degree days, but not many. We finally finished picking up the sticks and branches blown down over the winter so we could mow the acreage for the first time this year. We have been having fires in our outdoor hearth and in our fire ring as much as possible when the wind is calm. There is so much kindling it will probably take all summer and fall to burn what we have accumulated. Shelly has purchased all of the plants and seeds for the freshly tilled garden but we are going to wait for the current cold spell to pass before we plant. We recently planted bulbs and sweet pea seeds along the southern end of the house and some bulbs along the side of the ditch. The farmers around us are done planting and the crops are just beginning to come up. The birds we have in most abundance around the acreage are robins, followed by finches, swallows, sparrows, grackles and starlings. There are pheasants living all around us, and at dusk we can hear them calling out, joining the chorus of robins we hear every sundown. A few days ago we had a fire in the outdoor hearth and I walked over to where the dogs had been rolling around to pick up a few sticks. Right where I was about to step was a tiny bunny, sitting so still I thought it was dead. I called Shelly over and she picked it up and it blinked and moved a bit in the palm of her hands. She took it to another part of the yard and it hopped away. The dogs walked the area where the rabbit had been sitting, sniffing, wondering how they could have missed it.
I began using DuckDuckGo as my primary internet search engine a couple of years ago after getting fed up with reading the non-stop articles about Google tracking locations, storing search histories, creating advertisement profiles, storing information about apps and all YouTube history, bookmarks, emails and on and on. From the DuckDuckGo About page: “You deserveprivacy. Companies are making money off of your private information online without your consent. At DuckDuckGo, we don’t think the Internet should feel so creepy and getting the privacy you deserve online should be as simple as closing the blinds.” I initially tried comparative searches using the two search engines and was happy with the results from DuckDuckGo. Give it a try.
Here is another Keto recipe my wife found online. (Source: Kirbie’s Cravings) We tried them and thought they were delicious.
