Keto On, My Wayward Son

Looking for a keto friendly ice cream with ingredients you can pronounce? Yeah, so was I. haha I know there are some new companies on the scene lately, but as hard as I looked every time I went shopping, I could never find anything aside from Halo Top. That is when I set out to create my own version. To be fair, this was inspired by a fellow Keto Instagrammer - Low Carb Lex! I took her recipe, put my own spin on it, and here we are. It is super easy to switch up the flavors and mix-ins to make your own unique creations each time. Which we all know is my favorite aspect to any recipe. I rarely make the exact same thing twice. Anyyyyway, lets just dive right in. INGREDIENTS ¼  cup Coconut Milk ( canned )⁣ ½  cup Cashew Milk⁣ ¼  cup Water⁣ 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream 3T Erythritol⁣ (or sweetener of choice) 1 Scoop Collagen  2 Egg Yolks⁣ (the whites can be used for my Swiss Meringue Buttercream or Marshmallows!) ¼  tsp Guar Gum (should be fine to o...

As I mentioned on Instagram - this one is my own twist on the recipe from Nicole over at Oh My Keto . My husband and I are recently obsessed with these. I was able to make 11 patties with just under a pound of chicken breast, and they make the best sandwiches when you pair them with some cheesebuns and a little dill relish. (Well.. and mayo and cheese, but you get it) I will give you the details on how we made ours, but I think you can tweak it even further to really make they something to write home about. Feel free to adjust as needed to suit your taste. I feel like adding some of your favorite Daks could really seal the deal for these. INGREDIENTS Chicken Patties 1lb Chicken Breast 1 Large Egg 1 tsp Garlic Powder 1 tsp Sriracha 1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard ½ tsp Paprika ½ tsp White Pepper Pickle Juice (enough to cover chicken to brine) Breading ¼ cup Nutritional Yeast ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese ¼ cup Pork Rind Crumbs (feel free to grind some actual pork rinds in the food...

This one is incredibly simple if you already have white chocolate handy - and my husband thinks they turned out the best! (Strictly speaking of looks, he doesn't like peanut butter. I thought about having him committed since that simply doesn't seem natural to me... but to each their own I suppose.) Diving right in! INGREDIENTS: 40g White Chocolate 2 Tbsp Peanut Butter PROCESS: Chop up your white chocolate into small chunks and melt down. You can do this over a double boiler, but I just use the microwave. Same as the other chocolate melting I have mentioned. Chop finely, microwave for 30 second intervals at 30% power. Stir between each microwave sesh. Once you get it to a stage where most of it is melted and there are just a few chunks left - stir your heart out. Once you get your chocolate fully melted down - you simply mix it into the peanut butter.  Pour this mixture into your molds of choice (hopefully already lined with chocolate) - allow to set up at room...

 I am trying my best to get all of the variations up on the blog for you guys as soon as possible. I am thinking the best way to go about this is to just give you the details for the fillings themselves, and then you can refer back to one of my previous posts for the chocolate work. Hopefully I can get it all in one location for you after I finish up all of the filling posts. In the meantime - bear with me? Okay, moving right along. We're going to dive into the Espresso Ganache this morning! This particular mixture filled about 4 chocolates for me, but feel free to double the recipe if you plan to make a big batch! (It is super simple, I promise) INGREDIENTS:  37g Chocolate Ganache (mini step-by-step at the end of the post) ¼ tsp Espresso Powder ¼ tsp Water PROCESS: Make sure your ganache is at least at room temperature so that it can be easily mixed. In a separate bowl, add the espresso powder to the water and mix together thoroughly. (It may seem a little od...

Okay, so this is definitely a 'cheat' version of Swiss Meringue Buttercream, but I have tried it the long tedious way as well and this honestly came out better. I think it is due to the erythritol granules not dissolving properly when heated (at least not the same way regular sugar would)? Every time I tried to do this over the stove it felt like my arm was about to fully fall off my body before I got it to the stage I was looking for. That is when I set out to find a recipe for SMBC that did not involve that much of a workout. I stumbled upon this recipe , and decided to tweak it a bit to fit my sugar-free needs. Lets dive in! INGREDIENTS: 1 Egg White (or the equivalent in cartoned egg-whites - about 2T) ½ Cup Powdered Sweetener (I just 'blitz' some granular erythritol until it is powdered, then measure out) 150g Butter, Softened (About 10T + 2t - I use sweet cream butter, as always) 1tsp Vanilla (or flavor additive of choice. One on One Flavors work a...

You. Guys. I am incredibly pumped up for this recipe. I honestly wasn't even trying to create this when I first set out. It was a result of not having the ingredients on hand for the recipe I was actually planning to make. Pretty typical for me actually. What I did happen to have on hand was an extra yeast dough pizza crust (recipe from Soury, you can find it on her Instagram if you are interested), some ground beef, half of an onion, and all the necessary parts for a killer copy-cat In-N-Out spread! Clearly I had no choice but to create this masterpiece. First thing first, I will lay out the spread for you. While I did a little research first, pulling pieces from some recipe creating geniuses around the internet,  I didn't technically pull from one solo inspiration source (& I also had to keto-fy it all before it came together) so I feel comfortable calling this 'my own'. Second, I have to mention that none of the measurements will add up to one perfect...

Back with another copycat recipe (shocker, I'm sure). If you watched my stories over the past few weeks, you would have seen Eddie and I finally try some Real Good Foods poppers. While I did enjoy them, I felt they were just okay for the amount of money we spent on them. I also felt I could definitely recreate them if I really set my mind to it. Surprisingly enough... I think I actually nailed it! Now, before I get ahead of myself - they may not be exactly the same as their version, but Eddie and I loved these from the first batch. They are definitely a bit time consuming, but I think making them ahead and freezing them could be a perfect option for quick dinners down the line. Plus, as with any recipe I rave about, they are so easy to switch up flavor-wise. We went with cheddar jalapeno, but I am already imagining all of the other things we could stuff inside of these bad boys.. FILLING INGREDIENTS: 8oz Cream Cheese 3oz Cheddar Cheese, shredded 40g Jalapeno, chopped ½ ...
