With the holidays coming up, I thought it would be a good idea to start working on some holiday inspired recipes. My first cookie recipe this season is a moist and soft keto gingersnap cookie. This was the closest I could get to a real tasting gingersnap cookie without adding real molasses. The outside of the cookie looks and feels hard, but when you take a bite you can taste the soft buttery middle. Yum! I made these cookies smaller in size, and I prefer them that way. If you want a ...
Pumpkin Fudge
November 22, 2016 by 2 Comments
If you love a sweet treat from time to time but think that’s not possible on a keto diet, think again! This Pumpkin Fudge is every bit as indulgent as regular fudge, but with zero added sugar. We don’t even need artificial sweetener, since pumpkin and coconut butter are sweet. That’s great too, because breaking away from overly sweet foods helps us to reset our taste buds. That way we don’t crave sweets as much, and then we can appreciate the naturally sweet flavors of foods like ...

With berry season in full force and seeing just about every recipe with some sort of berry included, I thought a keto dessert was in order. Pavlovas to me seemed like the perfect dish for a great crisp and a bright fresh flavor. Not only do they taste great, but all the ingredients come together to balance itself out. The creamy filling paired with the fluffy, vanilla-infused crust makes for a perfect bite when the burst of the bright raspberry comes through. The richness and acidity balance ...

These little amaretti cookies are delicate and sweet. Each one is soft and full of almond and fruity flavors. This recipe uses strawberry jam, but you can use any flavor sugar free jam you’d like. My favorite brand to look for is the Polaner with added fiber (as this is usually the lowest carb option). They're the perfect keto dessert or snack to make for the spring time that's upcoming.

No Bake Coconut Cashew Bars
January 25, 2016 by 17 Comments
In a world where protein bars and low carb bars seem to be at the start of each checkout lane, there's a lot of confusion as to what's ketogenic and what's not. Truth be told, there's very few bars on the market now that are keto friendly (they're mostly protein and pretty low fat), and there's tons of bars stocked full of high GI sugar alcohols using marketing to camouflage themselves as low carb. The biggest danger with these high GI bars are that even though they can say they are low carb ...
