This low carb pie crust is super simple, and bakes up flaky, yet strong enough to stand up to a solid filling!

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.
Happy Sunday morning! I wanted to make pancakes, but also didn’t want to sacrifice my low-carb progress, so these were born. They’re crazy easy and remind me of the ones my Finnish stepmother made for my brother and I when we were children. No, they’re not fluffy like the American ones, but they’re solidly low-carb, gluten-free, grain-free and pretty darn tasty. Perfect for Sunday brunch.

This is a splurge food. I’m just going to come right out and say it. Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie (low carb or otherwise) is straight up dessert food, for those special occasions when – gosh darn it – you deserve a treat. Yes, it’s a little higher in net carbs (5.5g), but if you can tolerate more carbs in a day, or if you just want something that is rich and smooth and also pretty high in protein, this is a dessert for you.
It’s my go-to shark week dessert, because the chocolate is so rich, and pairs so well with the peanut butter. Yum, yum, yum! Continue reading Decadent Low Carb Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie
After realizing just how delicious my last attempt at a low carb homemade Quest bar turned out, I decided to try making another one of my favorite flavors: Strawberry Cheesecake.
This one is again, 2g net carbs per serving, and contains no almonds which I’m allergic to!). It’s super delicious, though. Trust me there. I’ve made two batches in two days because my (not-low-carb-eating) boyfriend demolished batch 1 while I was at work!
