Keto Friendly Chocolate Chip Cookies – Comfort Food Fun #Keto #KetoFriendly #LowCarb
This post contains affiliate links Following a Keto diet is awesome but sometimes you just want a treat – even a traditional comfort food type of treat like chocolate chip cookies! So I have tried several different versions and each iteration got closer and closer. This set is really good. I am more than happy to try some other versions but now I know I have a winner! I always recommend using a stand mixer for making cookies – who really wants to put all that elbow grease into each batch. We all have enough things to work hard on – this doesn’t need to be one of them.…

Keto Friendly YUMMY Stromboli
This post contains affiliate links How do you feel about the very popular Keto diet? I found my way to it after watching on the sidelines as my friends started to lose large amounts of weight. Now I am hooked – and so is my husband. Sure we cheat every now and then but the progress is pretty steady weight loss. The bread is the thing I miss most. I didn’t eat a ton of bread before – even then I mostly ate hamburgers without a bun and stuff like that. But it is the pizza and stromboli stuff that leaves me feeling like I am missing something. Before –…

Baby It’s Cold Outside – Time To Make Some Keto Friendly Chili!
I recently transitioned to Keto and love it. I had visions before I started of the Atkins days of old. I hated Atkins – I felt so deprived all the time so it was bound to not last. Sure I lost weight – and quite a bit of it. But it really wasn’t sustainable. With Keto though I am seeing awesome results and don’t feel deprived at all. I can literally eat anywhere – I just need to modify what I normally order and it doesn’t need to be salad with no dressing! Some of my favorite Keto things are protein shakes with low net carbs. Best way to start…

Keto Friendly Taco Soup
Yay!!! 2019 is here. I literally feel like I have been waiting for this year my entire life. 2018 was hard – the kind of year you never want to go through again and if you do – will you survive it? Yeah – that bad. Could always have been worse and thankfully it wasn’t – but bad just the same. With the new year I am going to start following a Keto style of eating. I am so excited about it and going to do my best to bring my family along with me. To do that I can’t just appear to eat meats and vegetables. They would…

Sausage and Cheese Puffs
I have been really trying to transition to Keto and so far have been successful – gotta stay with it long term. But one of the things I have struggled with is breakfast. I never ever have time to cook in the morning during the week. I need something to grab and go. Now you may ask what I did before Keto – well I would stop at McDonald’s and buy a sausage burrito for $1. Easy peasy. I wish I could just buy a small container of the burrito filling – that is probably keto friendly. In the meantime I need a plan. That plan started today with these…

Cheese Crisps – Excellent Keto Snack Option
Are you interested in following a Keto diet? I recently switched over – I feel like I am one of the last holdouts – though I know thats not true. To follow a Keto diet I need to make sure I have plenty of options for every person in the house. Some need Keto Snacks while others focus on the meals. A snack option that is a huge hit are Keto Cheese Crisps. You really cannot get easier than this. I actually make like four packages of cheese at one time and each package fills up two large cookie sheets. This is also a relatively inexpensive snack option. I go…

Turtle Milk – A Family Favorite
A little while ago, McDonalds came out with their Turtle products – Turtle Macchiato and Turtle Coffee. I am not a coffee drinker but I love caramel and chocolate. So one day when I was totally exhausted (let’s face it, that is everyday) – I decided to try an Iced Turtle Macchiato. My daughter begged for a tiny sip… Now I know there is espresso in it but I figured one tiny sip would be fine – except that she fell in love with it. Frankly, so did I. I never bought her another one but another day I was alone and went through the drive through and ordered another…

Coconut Macaroons – Made Easy
When I was first married I would make coconut macaroons all the time. They are very easy to make and I always considered them a comfort food. Over the years though I stopped making them and the only time I would eat them is when we happen to go to a restaurant that had them – which is very rare. My kids, particularly my son, are very picky and never in a million years did I think they would like coconut macaroons. Guess I was totally wrong – can’t make these things fast enough. I have a daughter that loves to cook so we have been playing around…

The Colors Of A Smoothie Bowl
How do you get your kids to eat healthy? Add pops of color, treat it like an ice cream and ask them to help prepare it. This is the perfect solution for getting kids to eat all kinds of berries. As an added tip – I sometimes blend spinach up in these smoothies too. It changes the color considerably but the kids cannot taste it at all. My daughter and I absolutely love smoothies – we could have them every day if I had the time to make them. Today however, we opted to make smoothie bowls! I have seen them all over the place but have never really had…
