Three Ingredient Keto Pie Crust
Low Carb Pumpkin Cheddar Risotto

Low Carb Pumpkin Cheddar Risotto

Published by Liz on October 17, 2015

CM and I just got back from a fantastic vacation in North Carolina for our friends’ wedding and then backpacking through Shenandoah – so fun! Upon returning, though, I’ve realized that fall is in full swing and I needed to add some fall flavors to my tummy. Enter this low carb pumpkin cheddar risotto! I used the frozen riced cauliflower from Trader Joe’s, but you could rice your own in a food processor if you don’t have access to a TJs.

I had pretty high hopes for this low carb risotto, but it really exceeded my expectations! I’m definitely going to make this for Thanksgiving this year, and probably a bunch more times before that. Vegetarian keto recipes are hard to come by, especially fall specific veggie keto recipes, so this is getting a gold star for sure. Continue reading Low Carb Pumpkin Cheddar Risotto

Low Carb/Keto “Cookie Dough”

I really love eating cookie dough straight out of the bowl (at least I used to), and while this recipe doesn’t taste exactly the same…it certainly helps to scratch that itch, all while being low carb, nut free, sugar free, gluten free and keto-friendly. Certainly in the “splurge” category, but totally worth it!

Serve this chilled – it’s so good, words can’t even describe!

Low Carb Raspberry Protein Truffles

Finding a low carb protein bar (that doesn’t contain nuts) has been a bit of a challenge for me, which is to say that I haven’t found one. I’ve scoured the shelves at Whole Foods, but to no avail – there simply doesn’t seem to be a LCHF protein bar that isn’t almond based.

So, as you may recall from previous posts, I started making my own low carb protein bars! This is another installment in that series, so to speak. I love raspberries, so I figured why not?  Continue reading Low Carb Raspberry Protein Truffles

Low Carb Snickerdoodle Protein Cookies

Low carb snickerdoodle protein cookies

Cinnamon might be my favorite dessert flavor. Truly, I could eat this stuff morning, noon and night without complaint. Aside from the taste, cinnamon is also excellent for supporting your cardiovascular system and controlling blood sugar. So yeah, it’s pretty great.

Lately, I’ve also been seeking out alternate ways to get in enough protein that don’t involve just eggs or cheese. Eggs and cheese get boring, especially in a low carb or ketogenic diet!

In light of these bits of info, I wanted to update my other  low carb snickerdoodle recipe to have a little more protein content – and to be a little more cost effective. Macadamia nuts are a bit spendy. So, I’m using cashew butter here. Try not to freak out. Yes, it’s a little higher in carbs, but totally worth it if you’re able to eat a little on the higher side of the low-carb spectrum.

3 Ingredient Low Carb Peanut Butter Cookies

3 Ingredient Low Carb Peanut Butter Cookies

Shark week of all kinds is happening right now, and in this particular month – I want to eat EVERYTHING. I’ve also started eating carbier foods (seriously, yogurt  was the gateway), and am now more or less off (okay, more) the low carb bandwagon. I do not feel great as a result. So, we’re back to full-time low carb,  and I thought I’d make myself cookies as a result.
