Yep! This is my version of a low carb keto friendly breakfast sandwich (similar to the McGriddle) brought to you by Leftover Pancakes! Continue reading “Keto Friendly Breakfast Sandwich”
How Eating Keto Changed My Life
There are certain dates in our lives that we remember because something memorable happened – good or bad. They are dates that will be forever etched in our minds.
I will always remember April 3, 2017 as the exact day that I did something so HUGE that changed my life and my future in so many ways. It’s a little overwhelming sometimes to look back now and realize that I had no earthly idea just how HUGE that date was going to be for me (and #KetoHusband).
At the time, it seemed a lot like… Continue reading “How Eating Keto Changed My Life”
Low Carb Peanut Butter Criss-Cross Cookies
Growing up one of my favorite cookies were Peanut Butter Criss-Cross cookies that my mom would make us.
I’d help make the cookies and when it came time to make the criss-crosses — count me in! The criss-crosses made by dipping the fork in sugar each time so the dough wouldn’t stick to the fork was the best as a kid! You got to play with your food and the anticipation of those cookies coming out of the oven… oh boy! I get the same feeling now as an adult, only a different recipe.
This recipe is an excellent replacement for a years old traditional cookie in our family. Continue reading “Low Carb Peanut Butter Criss-Cross Cookies”
Ziplock Chicken
Some would say Shake n Bake, but when you ask your kids to grab a Ziplock bag from the pantry to put spices and chicken in, the name makes more sense to them to say Ziplock Chicken.
Voilà! Ziplock Chicken was born in our house!
Low Carb Blueberry Cheesecake
Blueberry cheesecake is what we had on our minds when we went to pick blueberries this spring…. ok, fine there might have been a few other foods and desserts we were thinking about too… blueberry pancake mistakes… frozen blueberries… blueberry popsicles…
And that’s a good thing because we picked A LOT of blueberries this spring and of course… we may have actually over picked! The kids said there’s no such thing as over picking though. Lol
Low Carb Maple Pancake Syrup Topping
When I first started eating a low carb keto diet, I thought I was going to have to give up some of my favorites foods ~ like pancakes with syrup on them ~ just to name one. Turns out that wasn’t the case at all! Yay!
This low carb maple pancake syrup topping was inspired by one of my ice cream recipes and it’s totally perfect for putting on top of low carb pancakes! It is not a typical gooey syrup. It is more of a cream type topping that is a wonderful replacement for the traditional sugar filled syrups.
Keto Long-Term
Keto long term is very possible – You CAN do it if it’s something you decide is good for you! Once I experienced the feeling of eating a low carb diet, I decided this was definitely for me. And I don’t have any plans to give it up!
I’ve shared quite a few recipes on my blog so far, but this blog post will be more informational and hopefully motivational for you to decide to take some sort of steps to improve your health.
If you are new to keto or a low carb diet, and you’ve shared with people your new way of eating, then you’ve probably heard a ton of negative things about eating “like this.” *eyeroll*
One of the most discouraging things you can hear when you are learning about something new and making a decision to do it, is to have people discourage you because of bad things they’ve heard or read about keto – and not personally experienced. Continue reading “Keto Long-Term”

Low Carb Pancake Mistakes
Since you clicked – you’re either interested or curious…
Here’s the story behind these Low Carb Pancake Mistakes.
Over the past year, I’ve made some not so great low carb pancakes from recipes around the Internet, but I still couldn’t find a homemade pancake that was easy to make, had a relatively good texture, and tasted quite like I wanted it to. So, naturally when you can’t find what you’re looking for – you come up with your own!
A little of this and a little of that, mix them up, put them in a hot pan with some butter, and the family loved them. Wait, what?!
Yes! They loved them… finally!
I had written everything down (or so I thought) Continue reading “Low Carb Pancake Mistakes”
Low Carb Chicken Cordon Bleu Stew
Yep! Low Carb Chicken Cordon Bleu Stew, and it’s uh-mazing!
Stew ?! Hahaha yes! “STEW” !
It’s not a casserole, and it’s not a soup… soooo I’m going with Stew!
The name of the game in our house is simple easy to make dinners on weeknights. We have limited time each night between commuting from work, the kids, homework, sports and family time.
I see so many recipes online that are, quite frankly way too many steps for me. Easy, simple and still flavorful food is what I aim for, and this ‘Stew’ will not disappoint! Continue reading “Low Carb Chicken Cordon Bleu Stew”
How To Get All Your Macros In Daily
When I started eating a Ketogenic diet, my goal was to eat 20 grams or less of carbs daily, but it was not easy to learn macros. I used an app on my phone to log everything I ate to be able to tell if I was keeping my day balanced between the 3 macros. Fat/Protein/Carbs
The app I use is MyFitness Pal app, and one of the features in the free app is to set up goal percentages. So, I set up a 70/25/5 distribution. This means 75% fat / 25% protein / 5% carbs. Once I set this up, I could easily see how my macros were adding up throughout the day as I tracked the food I ate. This method was super easy for me to follow because I could see what I needed to eat more of – or what I needed to slow down on to meet my goals.
In the beginning I Continue reading “How To Get All Your Macros In Daily”
