I wanted to make something extra special for Valentine's Day. This year, my girlfriend has really been craving donuts after seeing them over and over at markets, coffee shops and sports games. I decided to re-create her ultimate favorite flavor from Yo-Yo Donuts: their Cherry Chocolate Donut. They came out great! These donuts are just the perfect amount of crisp on the outside, but soft and fluffy on the inside. If you've been missing out on chocolate, worry no more. ChocoPerfection is a ...

Pumpkin Pie Spice Scone Cookies

Pumpkin Pie Spice Scone Cookies

I recently went to Trader Joe's and saw that they had some Pumpkin Scone cookies on sale. It seemed almost too good to be true when I laid my eyes on them, but I definitely wanted to re-create these and have them be a part of my keto repertoire as soon as possible. Truth be told, my girlfriend has a bit of a sweet tooth and was really insistent on having a keto version. So, after heading to the farmer's market, I saw these beautiful squash on sale for only $1 per! I couldn't resist as the ...

Low Carb Cookie Butter

Low Carb Cookie Butter

If you've never had cookie butter, then you really missed out! Think about grabbing a spoonful of smooth peanut butter out of the jar, but it's got a Fall-like cinnamon and ginger cookie taste. Seriously delicious and perfect for this time of the year. I'd say dip stuff in it, but really...we all know that's not going to happen. Go ahead and grab your spoon, dip, and lick it off - a great way to end a meal. If that's not your thing, it really goes great on freshly made waffles in the morning. ...

Peanut Butter Caramel Milkshake

If you're a sane person, then peanut butter is probably one of your guilty pleasures - I know it's one of mine. But, when we're on a ketogenic diet, we can't always grab it by the spoonful to lick it off as a snack because of the carb count. Every once in a while, though, I get a huge craving for peanut butter and have to make something that'll combat it. So, since I've been on a smoothie/milkshake stint lately, I decided to put together something I know you'd all love. You can also sub out ...

McKeto Strawberry Milkshake

Growing up as a kid, I had my fair share of fast food takeout. Some of them I still miss to this day and try to recreate (a lot of the time in failure, but don't tell anyone). One of them that I was thinking about lately? McDonald's Strawberry Milkshake. Their disgustingly sweet syrup mixed into ice cream and served up to me in the nostalgic paper cup. Not the most beautiful thing to remember from my childhood, but it certainly holds something dear in my heart. Well, I think I've done it ...

I've been frequenting foodgawker more and more and realized that there's so many popsicle recipes coming out. So many delicious looking popsicles...that I had to make my own. I grabbed the NoPro Popsicle Mold off of Amazon (nothing beats those awesome old fashioned wooden sticks) and waited my 2 days on Amazon Prime. When it arrived, I had already made my Cinnamon Roll "Oatmeal" recipe so I said why not? Let's see what happens and hopefully it'll be good. Good? No, it was amazing! ...

When I was a kid, my mom usually packed my lunch box with snacks and sweets that I could finish the day off with. From oatmeal cookies to honey buns, there was always tons of sugar packed inside. Well...now I guess I know why I gained so much weight in my childhood ;) One of the things I still remember, though, are those little Swiss Cakes from Little Debbie. Lately, I've been thinking about them more and more, wanting to recreate them...but elevate them in flavor and bring them over to the ...

Low Carb Chocolate Brownies

Low Carb Chocolate Brownies

August 21, 2014 by 35 Comments

I'm starting to get a little tired of seeing these amazing pictures online for what I think will be the greatest brownies of all time, spending a while in the kitchen, and then realizing that what I end up with is an almost paper-thin, crunchy, dry, and near inedible brownie (if you can even call it that). What you might think was cut off the top of what could have been great, the recipes I've been trying over the last few months just never came out how I wanted them to. So, I set out to create ...

Lemon Poppy Seed Cake with Blackberry Buttercream

Lemon Poppy Seed Cake with Blackberry Buttercream

August 11, 2014 by 13 Comments

There's nothing more I hate than getting super excited about a cake recipe I see online and then scrolling down to the nutrition information. My heart stops for a minute when I see the macros: "150 calories and 2g net carb for a slice?" When it's too good to be true, it usually is. I'm not in the business of mucking with my macros and breaking things into 24 or 30 slices, I'm in the business of enjoying the food. This cake will make 8 slices - each slice being 4.7g net carbs and filled with ...

Chocolate Chunk Avocado Ice Cream

Chocolate Chunk Avocado Ice Cream

Eating avocados on a ketogenic diet is well known and done often. They're full of fats, absolutely delicious, and normally pretty easy to find. Though, eating avocados for dessert is pretty unconventional. I've made avocado-lime sorbet before, but this time I wanted to bring a whole new flavor profile to the dish - and we use cocoa powder to mask the avocado's taste without getting in the way of texture. The decadently rich and sweet flavors of the ice cream are offset by the unsweetened ...
