Keto On, My Wayward Son

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!

(I really do try my hardest not to steal credit for these things. I know how much work goes into the initial recipe creation and I do not want to deter people from going to the original source - they are the pros!)
