There's nothing more I hate than getting super excited about a cake recipe I see online and then scrolling down to the nutrition information. My heart stops for a minute when I see the macros: "150 calories and 2g net carb for a slice?" When it's too good to be true, it usually is. I'm not in the business of mucking with my macros and breaking things into 24 or 30 slices, I'm in the business of enjoying the food. This cake will make 8 slices - each slice being 4.7g net carbs and filled with ...
Salted Caramel Glazed Maple Bacon Cake Pops
Isn't that a mouthful of a title? Trust me though, it's WELL worth it. These little suckers are SO good. I mean, the type of food that you can't just stop at one - which is a good thing considering they're only 80 calories each. Get your groove on and have your dessert - with bacon! They don't bother with injecting tons of water and flavor enhancers in their bacon. This means that when you cook your bacon, it won't lose much of its original size like the stuff you'll buy in the store. ...

Bacon, Cheddar and Chive Mug Cake
When you think of a mug cake, you might think of one of the sweeter options. But, savory mug cakes can be made too! Not to mention, they're pretty freakin' awesome.

It gives a more moist, more delicious, more hearty and filling keto fat bomb that you can actually use to replace a full meal - breakfast or lunch!

Keto Valentines: Red Velvet Doughnuts!
Valentines day is coming up and I just wanted to say thank you to each and every one of you that comes to the site and reads the articles and recipes on here! Even though a ketogenic diet can sometimes seem strict, there's always ways to bring old comfort foods back. Red Velvet Donuts are a staple Valentine's Day food that has changed pretty greatly over the years. Originally, untreated cocoa was used which gave the red color when baked due to the chemical reaction from the anthocyanin and ...

Baconscotch Chocolate Chunk Cookies
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 ...

Please be sure to see notes at the bottom of this post for information about using other sweeteners. I really like this pie crust. I think it could easily pass for a ...
