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. ...

Low Carb Key Lime Cheesecakes
April 26, 2014 by 38 Comments
I had lots of fun last week when I went on vacation to the Keys but among the tons of overpriced tourist teasures, I didn't bring much back home. That shouldn't surprise you though because it's only a few hours drive away. I did, however, bring some glorious fruits of the islands back with me - Key Limes. These little sweet, tart, unique flavored citrus fruits are an absolute delight in baked goods - especially cheesecake. You should know already since they're famous all over the world for ...

Italian Lemon Sponge Cake
April 25, 2014 by 10 Comments
Ugh! I'm really sorry I've been so slow with updating the website lately. It's been pretty hectic over here. My aunt and cousin came over from Spain and we all went down to Key West for a week to catch some rays and enjoy the ocean. Success! On another front, I'm pretty much done with the cookbook. It's in my designers hands right now and we're almost complete with the PDF version. Next we'll move onto the Kindle version and I'll get it up for sale. I'm really happy with the way this one ...

Ultimate Keto Coffee Cake
April 18, 2014 by 103 Comments
Now it's not often that I call a recipe "the ultimate" version of something, but this one really hits the nail on the head. It's perfect in every way - soft textures mixed with delicious flavors. I didn't even get a chance to have more than a bite of this cake. I have family over from Spain who absolutely love the store bought Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls, and they ate the whole cake before I even had a slice to myself. If these non-ketoers can enjoy a cake this much, then it has to be ...

Cinnamon Orange Souffle
April 12, 2014 by 2 Comments
Today is a little bit about re-purposing foods. Some people don't always like what they end up with, so instead of throwing it in the trash you can try to come up with new and creative ideas to re-purpose your food into something else. Now don't get me wrong, the cinnamon orange scones were absolutely delicious, but I just wanted to make something else with them. I typically look at scones as some kind of breakfast pastry I'd have with my coffee, while I'd look at a souffle as a nice dessert ...
