Oh hey, chocolate lovers, do I have a treat for you?!

If you’re a seasoned veteran of The Roasted Root, you know I have a mega weakness for brownies, but am also careful with my sugar intake. For this reason, I have been known to develop sugar-free (keto-friendly) recipes that are designed to not raise blood sugar. Just take a looksy at my Low-Carb Peanut Butter Fudge, Keto Edible Cookie Dough, or Keto Coffee Ice Cream for example.

Sheet Pan Salmon and Carrots with Carrot Top Pesto - a whole30, paleo, keto diner recipe that requires just 35 minutes to make! | TheRoastedRoot.net

I had a reader request sheet pan recipes recently and I am so thrilled to help out in this department. One-pot or one-pan meals are my jam, because let’s face it: I love keeping meal time as quick and easy as possible. Of course, that includes the post-meal cleanup.

If you’re a regular here, you have probably surmised salmon is my favorite of all the animal proteins. I eat it multiple times per week every single week with some form of roasted or sauteed vegetables, but of course! You can take a look at my salmon archives to feast your eyes on all the salmon-ness!

Do you follow a Paleo diet? A Mediterranean diet? Something whole food-esque that you don’t really put a name to?

I recently listened to this podcast by Dr. Ruscio  where he sites a study showing both the Paleo and the Mediterranean diets have been linked to lower instances of cancer and disease, and lengthen lifespan.

The study showed no preference over Mediterranean versus Paleo – both were equivalent in their efficacy to enhance overall health.

This to say, I find any diet that incorporates fresh, whole foods with an emphasis on adequate quality protein and unsaturated fats to be healing and ideal over a heavily processed diet.
