Keto On, My Wayward Son

We're back with just the filling ingredients/process on this one. This one is slightly different again. The caramel has to be firm in order to pop them out of the molds, but if you put your chocolate into the refrigerator or freezer it loses it's beautiful shine, so I didn't want to go that route. I thought it would be best to get the fillings all worked out, then cover them lovingly in a waterfall of melted chocolate and hope it didn't all come crashing down around me. To my utter surprise, it worked! Diving in! INGREDIENTS: 38g Caramel (I don't have my own recipe for this one. It is all Paola's creation and it is flawless) 1 tsp Shredded Unsweetened Coconut 2 Tbsp Coconut Manna 2 tsp Heavy Whipping Cream 40g Chocolate (I actually used Lily's this time!) 4 drops One on One flavors "Girly Cookies" (optional, but I was shooting for a Samoa feel) PROCESS: Decide which layer you want on the top of your truffles, this will go into ...

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 ...

Here is another super simple one for you. So simple, I almost don't consider it a 'recipe' - It is literally just a combination of ingredients and a little blender action. The hardest part of this entire process is cleaning your blender afterwards. The second thing I truly love about this 'recipe' is that you can swap out so many different parts to create a whole new flavor combination. One basic recipe creates SO many shakes. It's amazing. THE BASICS: 1Tbsp Almond Butte r  (or any other nut butter your heart desires)  8oz Unsweetened Almond Milk  (or any other milk replacement you have on hand. Cashew is one of my favorites, to be honest) Pinch of Xanthan Gum (can skip if you don't have this, but it helps with the milkshake texture)  15g Quest Cinnamon Crunch Protein Powde r   (if it isn't obvious by now, you can certainly swap this out too. I just love this flavor in particular and think you should give it a shot!) 6 Ice Cubes (This has ...

Full disclosure: This was adapted from a non-keto recipe. I have yet to reach the stage of my life where I can fully wing it from scratch and call it a success, but I have found I am pretty damn good at turning a non-keto item into a keto-approved version. That being said, I'm just going to dive right in! INGREDIENTS 4oz cream cheese, softened 2Tbsp brown ‘sugar’ 2Tbsp confectioners sweetener 1Tbsp ChocZero Maple Syrup ½Tbsp ChocZero Caramel Syrup ½tsp ground ginger ½tsp ground cinnamon Pinch of nutmeg 2oz whipped cream (I whipped up my HWC with some stevia and a dash of maple flavor for this) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ EXECUTION⠀⠀⠀ Beat cream cheese until smooth Add in sugars and syrups and beat again Add in seasonings and beat again Add in whipped cream and beat one final time.  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The thing I love the most about recipes like this is that they are so versatile! You can swap out so many things that the combination possibilities are literally endless. ...
