July 13, 2016 by 12 Comments
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.

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 ...
