Most of us are getting bored of the same old breakfast, so I decided to spice things up and go a different route. Being on a keto diet for a long time will definitely lead you to experimentation in the kitchen, and this one is something that works.

If you're on a low carb diet, I really suggest you try this bacon ...
Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookies
Even those of us living a ketogenic lifestyle get the occasional hankering for this classic every once in a while! The trick in making low carb chocolate chip cookies is to minimize all of the high carb ingredients and maximize the flavor with our ingredients. I chose almond flour naturally for this recipe because the nuttiness will go really well with the dark chocolate. It also will help coax more flavor out of the walnuts, while giving us a texture contrast from the crunch. When ...

Low Carb Flax Bread
One of the biggest things that I missed when I was on a ketogenic diet was bread, sweet sweet bread. It made life easy when I needed something quick, but it was never in my pantry because it's practically a carb overload. This was one of my go-to recipes when it came to low carb bread, and can be modified to fit any taste. You want sweet? Add some Da Vinci Sugar-Free syrup. Want savory? Add some nuts or spinach. You can practically make any alteration to the bread to suit your needs, ...
