Hello my dear fellow keto community. My name is Karla Ugarte and I am a 45 year old elementary teacher from Hidalgo, Texas. All my life I have been morbidly obese since I was a toddler. I used to be in tons of diets all the time. I took many weight loss medications that only made my problem worse and make me gain more pounds every time I failed. I always felt that nothing would ever work for me and felt very miserable, depressed and tired all the time. After I got married I developed more ...

Pumpkin Cardamom Donut Holes
These may be a slightly strange flavor combination for some, but it's truly worth a taste! The flavors all meld extremely well together, the aromatic cardamom with the sweet pumpkin puree. And, has a fantastic soft cakey texture! If you've ever been missing that moist, almost crumbly taste of an old-fashioned donut on a ketogenic diet; you've come to the right place! These little donut holes are extremely rich, so 2 or 3 is enough to really hit the spot. Though, they serve as great small ...

Low Carb Cauliflower Fried Rice
Chinese style food has been quite the hit at my house and I didn't want to stop with just low carb Sweet & Sour chicken and General Tso's Chicken. I made some fried rice to go with any Chinese style dish you make, quite similar to the real thing. I am sure you'll enjoy it, and I'm sure you'll be wanting a second serving once you have a bite. It does take a decent amount of work to make the fried rice, but usually I cook my chicken dishes in the oven and I have plenty of time to get ...

Egg and Bacon Cheese Baskets
Since I made the cheese chips recipe a while ago, I figured it was time to revisit them. This time, I wanted to use the cheese crisps as both a textural addition as well as a vessel for the food to sit on. This not only offers a deliciously crisp contrast in texture, but it also adds extreme portability to your breakfast, which is a big plus in my book! Make sure when you take your bacon out of the pan, you try to keep as much bacon fat in the pan as possible. This will allow you to cook ...

Keto Lemon Sugar Poppy Seed Scones
I have never been a lover of the dryness of a traditional scone, but this modified keto scone is the perfect balance between cakey and crusty! I decided to make this scone different from the other keto scone recipes floating around the internet because I wanted to simulate something more like a muffin center with a crusty exterior. For those of us who love coffee and a scone, it hits the spot. For the ones who don’t drink coffee, it’s still soft enough to enjoy without a hot beverage to ...

BBQ Pulled Chicken Sliders
Remember the BBQ Pulled Chicken recipe that I did in the slow cooker the other day? Well it made quite a lot of food, and there was certainly leftovers to go around. I wanted to put something nice together that makes the leftovers seem like a new dish completely. All in all, this takes pretty little effort to put together. Just mixing together the batter for the buns, and the rest is almost auto-pilot cooking. From start to finish it took me maybe 30 minutes - so this would be a great meal if ...

Keto Lemon Donut Holes
These lemon donut holes are taking the cake at being my favorite keto dessert! These donut holes are simple to make and taste oh so delicious for a sweet treat! I love that they are portable so I am able to grab a few as I run out the door! The secret to this recipe is how to get these donuts to taste so lemony! You might be thinking the zest of the lemon or the juice of the lemon! In other cases, you would be right. Not this one, though. The whole lemon is blended up with the other tasty ...
