On a typical weekday, we may not always have time to enjoy a satisfying breakfast. Busy schedules and on-the-go mornings can leave you without enough time to whip up a keto breakfast. Those are the days that I love having a simple but decadent shake that I can drink in the car or sip while I work on my early morning task list. Not to mention it’s unbelievably thick, rich, and dark chocolatey! After years of being a smoothie fiend, I’ve found that the best way to add thickness and ...

During Girl Scout cookie season, these can help stave off the cravings! They can be whipped up in an afternoon, and pulled from the freezer whenever you need a sweet treat. These bites are great for holiday dinners or family snacks. There is a lot of prep time involved in these, so I would set aside a couple hours for prep and execution. This may be a fun activity with some friends or older kids. Most minty desserts get that burst of fresh flavor from using extract, but I love adding ...

When I was growing up my favorite dessert was my moms’ zebra brownies. They were always from a box, and it was a treat because it was like two desserts in one: brownie base stuffed with creamy cheesecake filling! I can’t believe it took me this long to make this decadent treat because once I did, I realized it’s so simple. This recipe is a spin-off from my favorite keto flourless brownie recipe with a few adjustments. Because the cheesecake filling offers a bit more moisture and weight, ...

Pecan sandies were my favorite cookies as a kid but ask I’ve gotten older I prefer a softer bake. That’s why these pecan softies are the perfect blend of nutty pecan flavor with the goodness of a soft baked cookie! With hints of salt and hunks of roasted pecans, this cookie tastes like anything but keto! By making the cookie base in a food processor, you can get a rough chop which leads to a lower calorie yield per cookie, plus its easy cleanup and comes together in minutes! It calls for ...

I have been seeing beautiful donut creations all over Instagram lately and it’s been inspiring me to make some ornate donuts that are keto friendly! I am a firm believer that food should look as good as it tastes.  I’ve been on a toffee nut kick so I decided to make a simple vanilla cake donut.  Then I decorated it with sweet and salty toffee nuts, and a healthy dose of low-carb dark chocolate coating. I added a touch of coconut because it’s pretty and it tastes good. It’s a win-win! But the ...

Before I get to the nitty gritty of how mind-blowingly tasty these are, let’s talk about trying to make toffee out of fake sugar. Basically, it’s not easy. It’s not that the task is difficult, toffee is two ingredients and you can make it in the microwave, but it does take your complete attention and diligence. Toffee making waits for no one and it can burn in an instant! So here are the basics: make sure you stir often, watch for a light caramel color to develop, remove when the mix is ...
