Italian Lemon Sponge Cake

Italian Lemon Sponge Cake

Ugh! I'm really sorry I've been so slow with updating the website lately. It's been pretty hectic over here. My aunt and cousin came over from Spain and we all went down to Key West for a week to catch some rays and enjoy the ocean. Success! On another front, I'm pretty much done with the cookbook. It's in my designers hands right now and we're almost complete with the PDF version. Next we'll move onto the Kindle version and I'll get it up for sale. I'm really happy with the way this one ...

Dairy & Keto: Best, Worst, and Substitutes

Dairy & Keto: Best, Worst, and Substitutes

Dairy products are born from raw whole milk — a water-based mixture with roughly 50% of its calories coming from fat,  20% from protein, and 30-35% as net carbs (mostly from lactose).

Keto Blackberry and Zucchini Crumble

Keto Blackberry and Zucchini Crumble

Zucchini in a dessert dish sounds very weird, I agree, but this keto crumble would actually be missing something without it. The zucchini mixed in with the top crumble part of this dish next to the blackberries, cinnamon, and almond flour make it actually taste like an apple or a pear, definitely not a zucchini. This dessert is one of my favorites! I love topping it off with whipped cream, but you could always use a sugar free ice cream instead! Yields 6 servings of Keto Blackberry ...
