Low Carb Spice Cakes

January 1, 2014 by 39 Comments

The New Year's coming around and I always love making spice cakes at this time a year. Winter is here and there's nothing better than a nice warm spice cake after a great meal. These light, fluffy, and moist cakes will bring a delightful warmth to your taste buds only to be cooled off by a zest and quick pinch of lemon with the cream cheese. A decadent treat for any occasion! Optional: Add 1 Tbsp. rum to each cupcake after the come out of the oven. Drizzle it over the cakes and let it soak ...

Intermittent fasting has become an immensely popular dieting strategy. Although it may seem like another diet fad, there are several reasons why skipping meals can be so helpful for many of us. The first (and biggest for most) is that intermittent fasting can help you bust through weight loss plateaus. Down to those last couple of pounds, or been stuck at the same number for weeks? Give this a try. The other reasons are for the sheer health benefits of fasting. Better metabolic adaptions, ...

I meant to post this recipe a while back, but wasn't able to get it done. I believe this one is worth the wait! It's very versatile and a good way to use up egg whites if you make homemade mayo like I do. It's a 3-ingredient recipe, so it comes together quickly and easily. My favorite! The only thing that takes some time is the cooking and cooling. Yields 18 servings of Peanut Butter Meringue Cookies. The Preparation 1 cup egg whites, room temp ½ cup creamy peanut butter 2 ...

I've been making so many sweets lately that I had to take a bit of a break and allow the leftovers to be eaten before making more. Being on a keto diet, it's hard for me to keep eating sweets, even if they are low carb, because I find my cravings start to come back after I eat them. Low and behold, everything is gone and I wanted to make something I haven't done in a while. I settled on brownies because I haven't really gotten around to making a cake, and I have only been making cookies ...

December 25, 2013 by 23 Comments

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 ...

One of my all-time favorites. My go-to when I used to order from the Chinese take away. One of the reasons I got fat in the first place. General Tso's Chicken. The sweet, spicy, savory mixture of sticky sauce slathering that chicken is something I never wanted to forget. This goes great with Cauliflower Fried Rice! I've been experimenting with the sauce since I made the sweet and sour chicken, and I've hit the nail on the head! This is one recipe that those of us on a ketogenic diet ...
