This delicious homemade creamy Keto Coconut Cake is the perfect low carb dessert for those following a keto diet.

Creamy & Delicious Homemade Keto Coconut Cake

My favorite dessert is my grandmother’s homemade coconut cake that I’ve been missing since we started following a keto lifestyle. I always make her recipe for Christmas and Easter, but this year I thought I’d tackle creating a keto version without all the carbs and sugar. Making a keto cake recipe that is moist is no easy taste due to keto friendly sweeteners having such a different texture than regular white fluffy gluten-filled flour. I tried several different versions of this cake before I was satisfied with the finished product. I’m pretty sure I may have referred to the final version as dessert heaven.continue reading…

Risks of Eating Low Carb: Five Ways to Respond to Those Who Say Keto Diets Are Dangerous

Although the low carb or keto way of life has gained respect in recent years, there are still people who worry about the risks of eating low carb.

This Low Carb Hot Bacon Dressing for Salads is much like a tangy-sweet warm vinaigrette with crunchy bacon. Filling and versatile, and full of amazing flavors it takes a regular salad to an entirely new level.

Low Carb Hot Bacon Dressing for Salads

Years ago, I ordered a salad at Bennigan’s Restaurant with a Hot Bacon Dressing, and it made such an impression to me that more than 20 years later it came back to my mind. I’m pretty sure that bacon makes everything better and salad is indeed no exception to that rule. Especially when it is hot bacon infused with spices.

When I made this Low Carb Hot Bacon Salad Dressing for my family, I made a big salad with leafy greens and spinach and added keto fried chicken chopped into small pieces. If you prefer instead of mixed greens, you could just make a spinach salad. I topped the salad with cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and boiled eggs then dressed it with this tangy Low Carb Hot Bacon Dressing. I’m kind of boring when it comes to toppings so there are many other options like avocados and such that would make a delicious addition.continue reading…

Lily’s Chocolate Bars

Lily’s Chocolate Bars in the creamy milk chocolate variety are so yummy and remind me of my favorite chocolate before I started following a keto lifestyle. While I have acquired a taste for dark chocolate now, I still prefer creamy milk chocolate. While there are other sugar-free chocolates available I prefer Lily’s brand bars and chocolate chips as they are sweetened with stevia and keto friendly.

No Bake Keto Peanut Butter Bars Recipe –

Recently, my hubby and went to three different grocery stores looked for Lily’s Chocolate Bars to use in my No Bake Keto Peanut Butter Bars recipe. The creamy milk chocolate gives these delicious no-bake bars a much more authentic taste like Reece’s Cups. However, not one grocery store had them in stock. Since then, I’ve been looking for a great price online, and I happened to stumble across it tonight. While the 12 pack is a better deal price wise per candy bar, the 4 pack is still a fantastic price. In fact, it’s cheaper than most grocery stores, and it’s shipped free. continue reading…
