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.

One-Pan Pepper Jack Brussels Sprouts
Brussels sprouts have not always been a fan favorite of the vegetable world. Even my own mother refused to cook them due to her traumatic childhood experience with the miniature cabbage! But the truth about this stalky cabbage, grown for the edible buds, is that it is packed with vitamin C and vitamin K and a moderate amount of fiber. In fact, one cup of Brussels sprouts has nearly double the amount of vitamin C as the same amount of oranges! This one-pan side dish begins with blanched ...

Although you can have other types of cake on keto — such as chocolate mug cake or keto cheesecake — they simply don't match the unique texture and flavor of a high-quality carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. However, this doesn't mean you have to give up carrot cake to reach your keto goals. In fact, by using what we've learned from other low-carb cake ...

What is Polyunsaturated Fat? The Truth About This “Healthy” Fat
Most of our fat intake comes from three types of fatty acids: polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, and saturated. Each one has unique properties that interact with our bodies in different ways.
