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 ...

Keto Buckeye Cookies
March 31, 2014 by 11 Comments
Oof, it's been a while since I've written a recipe! My apologies guys - I've been doing a lot of work on the next cookbook. It should be out in a few more weeks, so keep an eye out (spoiler alert, tons of fusion recipes)! So, the last week I made some inside out buckeye cookies (converted from a non-keto recipe) at the request of on the the members in the Ketogenic Living Facebook group. She said if I could make them, she'd love me forever, so here's me ode to getting loved ...

Chocolate Covered Maple Pecan Bacon
March 21, 2014 by 10 Comments
I know I'm giving you the run over on the mug cakes this week but I figured you'd want to get this made ASAP because it's just too good to not make! This stuff was handed down from the heavens as far as I'm concerned, and I won't judge if you end up stocking this up on trays in your fridge. The only qualm I have with this stuff is that the chocolate melts pretty quick because it's mostly made up of fat...but who the heck cares? Are you going to be holding this stuff for more than 10 seconds? ...

Vanilla Whisky Keto Mug Cake
March 15, 2014 by 20 Comments
With St. Patty's day coming up, it's time to figure out how to get as much alcohol into our food as possible. Not only will we be drinking it, but we need to be eating it too. Right...RIGHT? Fine, even if you don't want to drink your food, this is delicious. Very nice hints of vanilla roll through and the alcohol just comes through with enough flavor to balance it out. It will be a little less moist than the other cakes, but it pairs VERY well with a dollop of whipped cream on the top (and a ...

Coconut Chocolate Mocha Mug Cake
March 14, 2014 by 20 Comments
Now, I know it's pie day and I'm totally failing on that part. I tried to make a coconut cream pie in the microwave and it just didn't work out. The crust cooked just fine in the mug, but try to remove it and it completely breaks apart. So, I'll just give you something that's just as good! Just in case you missed out on the previous recipes in this mug cake series, you can check them out: If you're a fan of coconut and chocolate, then give this one a try! You can taste ...

Go check it out if you're struggling or having any issues planning out what to eat. It definitely is a good start for friends if they're interested - so give them a link and let them read all about it! So, these churro mug cakes are actually pretty darn good.

We all know on a ketogenic diet that peanut butter is the nectar of the gods, and combining it with chocolate just makes it even better!
