Do you have to fight against these cravings for the rest of your life? Although only one serving of these sugar-filled foods can easily put you over your carb limit for the day (or, in some cases, the entire week), this doesn't mean that you have to give them up ...

Keto Faux Sous Vide Egg Bites
I've been seeing these egg bites frequent the internet quite a lot lately. They're delicious, they're portable, and they're now keto friendly! That's right, these little breakfast morsels are inspired by Starbucks' Sous Vide Egg Bites. The biggest problem I had with the original recipe is that you need a sous vide machine. While they're an amazing piece of equipment to have around the house - most people don't. And, they're over $130 for a decent one! Plus, the original recipe takes over an ...

Keto Lemon Poppyseed Muffins
If you love the taste of lemon and poppy like I do, then you'll be an instant fan of these keto muffins. They're so fast and easy to make and store (and freeze) well for a perfect breakfast throughout the week. Plus, they're only 1.73g net carbs per muffin so you won't have to feel guilty when you're in a rush and need to leave the house. I highly suggest popping them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to warm through, slice in half, and place a pad of butter between them. Just for that extra ...
