I went to the store the other day and saw some Flaxseed Meal on the shelf. I remembered all the breads and treats I used to make with flax, so I decided to pick some up and see what I could come up with. I love flax, but some people can't handle it. It's mostly made up of insoluble fiber, so if you have a weak stomach or a weak digestive system - it will send you to the bathroom! These cookies turned out amazing. They taste great, and the flax really pushes a more earthy and crunch texture to ...

Classic Peanut Butter Cookies
January 4, 2014 by 55 Comments
Classic peanut butter cookies. Crumbly in their own texture with a bit of chewiness to it. These came out almost as good as the real thing, only problem was - they're a tad crunchier. If you notice in the recipe, I only have 15 balls but in the macros I have that it makes 18 total. That's because I ate some of the batter since it couldn't fit onto the baking sheet. Using a meat hammer on cookies seems pretty weird, but for the pattern on the cookies I used the spiked side of the hammer. It ...

Low Carb Spice Cakes
January 1, 2014 by 43 Comments
The New Year's coming around and I always love making spice cakes at this time a year. Winter is here and there's nothing better than a nice warm spice cake after a great meal. These light, fluffy, and moist cakes will bring a delightful warmth to your taste buds only to be cooled off by a zest and quick pinch of lemon with the cream cheese. A decadent treat for any occasion! Optional: Add 1 Tbsp. rum to each cupcake after the come out of the oven. Drizzle it over the cakes and let it soak ...

LC Peanut Butter Meringue Cookies
December 29, 2013 by 24 Comments
I meant to post this recipe a while back, but wasn't able to get it done. I believe this one is worth the wait! It's very versatile and a good way to use up egg whites if you make homemade mayo like I do. It's a 3-ingredient recipe, so it comes together quickly and easily. My favorite! The only thing that takes some time is the cooking and cooling. Yields 18 servings of Peanut Butter Meringue Cookies. The Preparation 1 cup egg white, room temperature 1/2 cup peanut butter 2 tablespoons ...

Low Carb Macadamia Nut Brownies
December 26, 2013 by 41 Comments
I've been making so many sweets lately that I had to take a bit of a break and allow the leftovers to be eaten before making more. Being on a keto diet, it's hard for me to keep eating sweets, even if they are low carb, because I find my cravings start to come back after I eat them. Low and behold, everything is gone and I wanted to make something I haven't done in a while. I settled on brownies because I haven't really gotten around to making a cake, and I have only been making cookies ...

Baconscotch Chocolate Chunk Cookies
December 20, 2013 by Leave a Comment
The reaction I get out of people when I say the words chocolate and bacon together is absolutely priceless. They look so disgusted, but they're in the dark on this one. Bacon and chocolate go together extremely well - the salty components playing off the sweet, boosting the flavor of the chocolate. For this recipe, we are using candied bacon. If you need to know how to make it, we have a how-to on candied bacon. You'll also need to know how to make chocolate ganache. If you need, we have a ...

Keto Orange & Chocolate Chunk Cookies
December 15, 2013 by 18 Comments
When I was a kid and it was the holidays, I was guaranteed to be eating a Terry's Chocolate Orange. The memories the smell of chocolate and orange together brings back is wonderful for me. The orange flavor comes through immediately, almost overpowering for a second - then the chocolate hits. The chocolate adds a fantastic hint of bitterness, which superbly melds together with the flavors of orange. With the sweetness of the dough finishing it off, it's an extremely balanced flavor profile - ...

Lemon & Rosemary Low Carb Shortbread
December 14, 2013 by 15 Comments
Can I really call these shortbread cookies? Well yes. The consistency is pretty crumbly, similar to shortbread. The sweetness aspect, however, isn't much like them at all. Think tea-cakes when you take a bite into this crumbly goodness. The second you put these in your mouth, it's hit with a refreshing wave of lemon. Hints of salt might come through before the rosemary finally takes the first strike. When it does, the herbaceousness will fill your mouth for only a moment before the lemon ...

Best Basic Low Carb Chocolate
December 12, 2013 by 13 Comments
I'm sure this recipe is out there in cyberspace somewhere, but I never found it. I stumbled upon it by trial and error and am I ever happy I did! This is THE best chocolate I've had since I first started a keto way of life. The applications are endless and I look forward to all the wonderful things I can make with this stuff. I know it's a little high on the carb end (if you're not counting fiber), but for holidays, birthdays, or special occasions, it is perfect. Also, when using it in ...
