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! ...
Keto Chocolate Roll Cake
August 26, 2014 by 65 Comments
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
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
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
August 2, 2014 by 23 Comments
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 ...

Low Carb Strawberry Shortcake
July 13, 2014 by 12 Comments
Yesterday, I posted the recipe for the Strawberry Chia Seed Jam. It seemed to have been a hit - and I'm so glad that so many of you tried and loved it! Today, we're going to use that jam to make an absolutely epic strawberry shortcake. Between each layer of cake is a massive amount of whipped cream, strawberry chia seed jam (of course), and fresh sliced strawberries to give that elegant and classic look. All in all, if you're looking to impress someone, this would be a fantastic dessert. It ...

Blueberry Lime July 4th Cake
July 1, 2014 by 6 Comments
Happy 4th of July Week everyone! This week is going to be a grilling sensation in my house and I have to make some things that'll compliment all the delicious meat and vegetables that'll be passed around the table. A cake was definitely being made, and I experimented around because I really wanted something light, sweet, and packed full of flavor. Not to mention, we can't go around having dry as a desert...dessert, can we? Well, blueberries and lime come together in this for a delicious ...

Keto Chocolate Chunk Cookies
June 29, 2014 by 32 Comments
Chocolate chip cookies always bring back memories of the holidays as a child. Setting up for Santa to come down the chimney with the presents, enjoy a quick carby snack, and get back to work by jumping on the sleigh. And you can't forget about Rudolph, either, he always had a carrot that somehow mysteriously ended up in the trash can the next day - well I guess the reindeer weren't much of vegetarians. With all the cookies and milk, there's no wonder we personified Santa as a heavyset guy now, ...

Cilantro Infused Avocado Lime Sorbet
May 29, 2014 by 4 Comments
Summer is almost here and this right here is summer in a bowl! A delicious mixture of all of the festive and delicious flavors of summer, served up nice and cold for the heat wave that's about to hit. Today, we'll be making a cilantro infused avocado lime sorbet. You might see the ingredients and think to yourself, "Well, that looks like sweet guacamole." You'd be right, in a sense, but completely wrong in another. It's not just sweet guacamole in a cup - the flavors completely change when ...

Salted Caramel Glazed Maple Bacon Cake Pops
May 23, 2014 by 10 Comments
Isn't that a mouthful of a title? Trust me though, it's WELL worth it. These little suckers are SO good. I mean, the type of food that you can't just stop at one - which is a good thing considering they're only 80 calories each. Get your groove on and have your dessert - with bacon! They don't bother with injecting tons of water and flavor enhancers in their bacon. This means that when you cook your bacon, it won't lose much of its original size like the stuff you'll buy in the store. ...
