I recently went to Trader Joe's and saw that they had some Pumpkin Scone cookies on sale. It seemed almost too good to be true when I laid my eyes on them, but I definitely wanted to re-create these and have them be a part of my keto repertoire as soon as possible. Truth be told, my girlfriend has a bit of a sweet tooth and was really insistent on having a keto version. So, after heading to the farmer's market, I saw these beautiful squash on sale for only $1 per! I couldn't resist as the ...
Ketogenic Diet Low Carb Cheat Sheet
When people are new to the ketogenic diet, they often wonder what type of foods they should and could eat while restricting carbs.

McKeto Strawberry Milkshake
Growing up as a kid, I had my fair share of fast food takeout. Some of them I still miss to this day and try to recreate (a lot of the time in failure, but don't tell anyone). One of them that I was thinking about lately? McDonald's Strawberry Milkshake. Their disgustingly sweet syrup mixed into ice cream and served up to me in the nostalgic paper cup. Not the most beautiful thing to remember from my childhood, but it certainly holds something dear in my heart. Well, I think I've done it ...

Keto Kitchen Recommendations
If you cook as many meals as I do, you’d give up quite a lot just to save some time in the kitchen. Heck, even if you cook all of your meals for the week in 1 day, wouldn't you want it to be the easiest it can be? I’ll talk about all of my favorite high-quality appliances, prep items, and even a few decorative items for when the guests are over. I’ve tried all sorts of blenders, mixers, pots and pans, coffee makers, and random gadgets for the kitchen. I love them, but a lot of them are junk ...
Low Carb Pasta a la Carbonara
So, what if I were to tell you that the pasta you see above is actually low carb and fits well into the keto lifestyle? I know, I was gob-smacked too! Pasta and rice have always been the 2 true things that I miss on keto. Cauliflower rice does the trick (especially when fried, mmmm) for one part, but the keto pasta I never figured out. Zoodles, shirataki noodles, kelp noodles...none of them ever did the trick for me. The resemblance was there, but the taste and texture were never there. These ...

Even though a ketogenic diet can sometimes seem strict, there's always ways to bring old comfort foods back.

Originally, untreated cocoa was used which gave the red color when baked due to the chemical reaction from the anthocyanin and ...
