Delicious Low Carb Snack Bars with a Berry Filling
Have you ever met a child who doesn’t love snacks? I sure haven’t. We’re trying to help our kids make better, low sugar choices as they grow. But snack time is a hard obstacle to overcome. These Low Carb Berry Snack Bars are a delicious treat for them that won’t cause those sugar monsters to pop out as the day progresses. Encouraging our kids to eat more nutrient dense foods can be tricky. Which means we have to work a lot smarter (and maybe a little harder)! Kids can have a limited range when it comes to foods they’re willing to eat with gusto. And that’s totally fine. The unknown…

HOW MUCH FAT AND PROTEIN?
“KETO DIET” synopsis: Eat Fat. Eat Protein. Limit Carbs. Seems like a simple concept. Cut out the crackers, chips, pastas, and potatoes. Check. Put MCT Oil Powder in coffee. Check. Eat all the bacon. Check. But wait, how much protein? How much fat? Did I go over my carbs?!?! Everyone has different needs as it pertains to macronutrients (fat, protein, and carbohydrates). It’s easy to ask a variety of influencers what their macros are and decide to follow in lockstep with them. But the way one person eats may not be the way YOU need to eat. Instead of guessing what your body requires, try using a Macro Calculator. I like Perfect…

STRAWBERRY CREAM SODA
You may know these as “Italian Sodas”, but it feels like pure American summer to me! I’ve had store bought strawberry cream soda in the past… in my pre-keto days. They were tasty, but nothing that truly “WOWed” me. I typically preferred the classic Texan fizzy soft drink: Dr. Pepper. #TexasBorn However, I don’t purchase soft drinks any more. In fact, the husband and I haven’t regularly bought sodas during the entirety of our nearly 18 year marriage. It’s not a cheap product and we usually were more focused on other ways to get high fructose corn syrup… like through cereals and other packaged sweets. Once we switched to a…

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.

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…
