Here’s a quick and easy recipe that you can mix up in a few minutes to make some extremely tasty, spicy, and tangy keto BBQ sauce. I really like the tang you get from BBQ sauce, but this might be a bit much for people!

These are some of the best meatballs I've ever had, keto or not. They're juicy, and they're full of cheese and bacon. What's not to like here? You really have a choice of where to go with this recipe. You don't have to use the BBQ sauce, but it pairs up extremely well with this recipe.

Growing up I never really liked eggnog. That slimy, thick consistency was never something that I wanted to like or could bring myself to like.

Calorie counting is a great tool for people to use to get a rough idea of caloric intakes, as well as a way to pinpoint mistakes they might have made if they hit a plateau. This may raise the question, "How many calories should I eat on keto?" Well, that depends...
