EGG WHITE PROTEIN BREAD
I’ve received a few requests to share how I make the egg white protein bread on my YouTube channel. With so many great options and recipes on the inter webs, I was reluctant to share my specific recipe. This is just what I’ve found that works well for me and nets me the results I want. Take all my measurements as a jump-off point and see what works well in your environment and what you like best! https://youtu.be/4v3sgpVi78c This high protein, low carb, and low fat bread serves as a fantastic bread substitute for those of us following a wheat-free way of eating! This rivals my Keto Bread as it's…

DAIRY FREE CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM
Dairy free chocolate ice cream seems like something that’ll be an icy disappointment. It certainly doesn’t sound delicious, or creamy. So how could it be? Well, the culinary wonder that is egg whites swoops in to become more than it is. https://youtu.be/w3Se0j5L7sE Here's a PSMF (Protein Sparing Modified Fast) friendly, dairy free ice cream option for those days you want something sweet but want to stick to a leaner protein day!

DAIRY FREE CAKE BATTER ICE CREAM
I love playing with different ice cream flavors! This time, I have a dairy free cake batter ice cream to share! Classic vanilla ice cream is delicious on its own. But sometimes you need something a little extra. In my pre-keto days, I loved getting cake batter ice cream at the Baskin Robins. It reminded me of helping my mom make a cake and getting to have the best part: the beaters! And who doesn’t love to lick the beaters after whipping up some cake batter? As I’ve been playing with the Ninja Creami ice cream machine, my ideas have been uncontainable. It’s so simple to make an ice cream…

SMALL BATCH KETO BROWNIES
A full pan of brownies to share as a whole family, or take to a potluck can be great! It’s even better if everyone follows the same dietary lifestyle! But more often than not, keto lifestyle-ers find themselves living amongst a bunch of non-keto-ers. And that’s ok. There once was a time when we weren’t aware of how regular sugar made us feel too. We hold out hope for the people we love. Alas, making a full pan of keto brownies isn’t always ideal. Sometimes we don’t eat them quickly enough and the go bad. Or sometimes we wind up eating the whole pan…before they go bad. Occasionally, we freeze…

Low Carb Chocolate Pie That Is PSMF Friendly!
I love dessert! But sometimes on a low carb, low fat, high protein day (a.k.a. PSMF day or “lean” day) it can feel like a drag because desserts usually mean higher fat. This Low Carb Chocolate Pie shakes up that thought and is friendly for those leaner days without sacrificing the feeling of indulgence! It’s nice to have something that is highly satisfying but doesn’t impede your goals. I would enjoy a slice of this pie on a lean day with a couple of raspberries. But a fat spoonful of homemade whipped cream makes this pie phenomenal on those “regular” or “higher fat” days! So. Many. Egg Whites… Lean day…

LOW CARB FLOUR SUBSTITUTE THAT’S KETO FRIENDLY!
BEST LOW CARB FLOUR SUBSTITUTE When I first began my quest into healthful eating, I lamented not being able to bake the way I did when I was on the “S.A.D” diet. I found a few recipes that I could work with but they weren’t exactly what I wanted them to be. So, I wound up tweaking them and adjusting them to exactly what I needed. Thus, we have the Low Carb Baking Blend (or Keto Flour…whichever you prefer). How can you use this low carb baking blend? I love to use my low carb baking blend as a replacement for just about any baked recipe that needs wheat…

For a while, Smartcakes™ were all the rage in the Keto/Low Carb world. Tons of people following a low carb or keto lifestyle raved about them.

SINGLE SERVE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE MASTER MIX
Who doesn’t love a warm goody single serve chocolate chip cookie! I love whipping up a sweet little treat at the end of the day as a dessert to enjoy while relaxing with my husband. It’s even better that I make single serve desserts so that I’m not doing what I call “fly-bys” all day long. Those can get me in trouble fast! So I see tremendous value in having just one of something to close out my eating window. But I do get a little irritated with how long it can take to get out all the different ingredients, measure each one out, and then clean it up while my…
