Keto On, My Wayward Son

  This one is actually fairly easy since most of the flavor comes straight from the tea. That also means that it is super easy to switch up the flavor profile by simply switching up the tea choice! (If you know me at all, you know those are my favorite recipes - ones you can alter easily for endless variety) Second thing I would like to mention is that this is an alteration of Maria Emmerich's Apple Bundt Cake recipe. Which I linked here since I certainly cannot take credit for the full recipe. I will still post my version since I feel the cupcake as a whole is different enough to not be a complete rip-off. (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!) Last note, I am going with exact measurements I ended up using. They will seem like really odd number choices. This is due to me measuring with a measuring cup...

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...

Okay. So to start this one off, I need to mention that I don't make the same exact version every time. I switch this one up often. That being said - the seasoning measurements are not going to be exact. If you realllyy need me to give specifics there, I can try and measure it out like a responsible adult next time and update the post. Moving right along, this recipe is almost fail-prool. I have made it about 100 times and have yet to have a real failure on my hands. Which we all know still happens to be in the kitchen more often than I would like to admit. THE INGREDIENTS: 3 Chicken Thighs / 13oz Chicken (This is also forgiving. I have used chicken breasts as well. I have also done this with more OR less chicken. Play around with it!) ¼ Cup Mayo ¼ Cup Sour Cream ¼ Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (Plus a little shakes for the top before you pop it into the oven) 3.5oz Shredded Pepperjack Cheese (Play around with this as well. Different types of cheese, different amounts, e...

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. ...
