Keto Easy Strawberry Pie

Dessert is one thing I hate giving up no matter what diet I follow. That is why this Easy Keto Strawberry Pie is a great choice for a keto or low-carb lifestyle. It gives me the flavor and sweetness I love without going outside of my macros.

EASY KETO STRAWBERRY PIE

I love anything strawberry flavored. Strawberries are my most favorite fruit, and thank goodness they are keto-friendly in moderation. After I made my Very Best Keto/Low Carb Lemon Pie, I thought that I could create a keto-friendly strawberry pie as a spinoff of that recipe.

This Low Carb Strawberry Pie is so easy to make and delicious. From start to finish, it only takes a few minutes; in fact, you’ll spend more time waiting for it to set up in the freezer than making it. Also, if you don’t love keto-approved flours, this recipe doesn’t contain any flour at all.

Keto Chili: Easy, Delicious, & Low Carb

Before the weather cools down after a hot summer, I always begin to look forward to fall being around the corner. I love everything about fall, including cozy bonfires, leaves changing colors, cooler weather, and fall foods, like chili and all things pumpkin. Fall always signals college football season, which makes my hubby and kiddos very happy as Ohio State Fans. Of course, I had to come up with a keto chili recipe that everyone would love.

Keto Pumpkin Muffins with Cream Cheese Swirl

Shared by Kasey 387 Comments

This Low Carb Keto Pumpkin Muffins with Cream Cheese Filling Recipe made with coconut flour is moist, easy to make, and full of incredible pumpkin flavor. Pumpkin spice season hits, and this is a must in your recipe list!

Keto Pumpkin Muffins with Cream Cheese Filling

When I posted my Keto Pumpkin Bread, I had no idea how popular it would be. I knew my family loved it, but everyone has different tastes. I typically hold my breath in expectation when I first post a new recipe until I hear feedback from those who have tried it. Thankfully, it was a hit. So much so that I decided to make some modifications to the original recipe and make a low-carb pumpkin muffin with a delicious cream cheese swirl. I knew after taking the first bite of the combination of moist pumpkin bread with a sweet cream cheese filling I had hit the jackpot of all things pumpkin.

Recipes like this that I have adapted to Keto/low carb are a fantastic replacement. However, they will never taste just like their counterpart full of gluten-filled white fluffy flour and regular sugar. Having the appropriate expectation will keep disappointment at bay. These are a really good alternative and a welcome breakfast or a keto dessert.

Lazy Keto Chicken Parmesan Casserole {low carb}

Shared by Kasey 15 Comments

This Lazy Keto Chicken Parmesan Casserole is delicious and super easy to make without sacrificing flavor. This family-friendly and kid-approved easy keto recipe is perfect for a low-carb diet.

LAZY KETO CHICKEN PARMESAN

I have been craving Italian food, especially Chicken Parmesan. Since I spend my days chasing toddlers, homeschooling, and running a business, I prefer easy keto recipes for dinner.

I made this delicious Italian casserole with a low-carb marinara sauce for an easy keto-friendly meal. You could make this Lazy Low Carb Chicken Parmesan from start to finish in the crockpot, but the juices from the chicken slow-cooking tend to make the marinara sauce a bit watery. Therefore, I prefer to make a casserole with cooked shredded chicken so that all the ingredients can bake together for the most amazing flavor.

Keto Pepperoni Chips Easy Snack Idea {Low Carb}

Shared by Kasey 25 Comments

That crunchy texture of a chip is often missed when on the keto diet. This Keto Pepperoni Chips Easy Snack Idea is a great option to help satisfy that need for a savory crunch. Plus, it packs tons of flavor and fills you up with the added fat.

KETO PEPPERONI CHIPS EASY SNACK IDEA

Since I see people asking for crunchy snacks, I always try to think of a new Keto/Low Carb snack idea. As I was taking the pizza rolls out of the air fryer for my son’s lunch today (don’t judge – I know they are not healthy), I thought about how much my hubby loved the crispy, almost burnt pepperonis top of a pizza. We always get double pepperoni because he loves the crispy ones so much.

I’m not sure why I hadn’t thought about it before, but as my kids were cleaning up their lunch, I grabbed a pack of pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, parchment paper, and a baking pan. In less than five minutes, I had Pepperoni Crisps ready for the oven. Although they don’t necessarily look pretty, they turned out so good and crispy. My big kids loved them, and I know my hubby will want to dig in as soon as he gets home. They are a great, very low carb/keto snack to help ward off hunger that helps satisfy crunchy cravings.

If you are just getting started following a keto diet and would like more information, there are tons of fantastic resources. Amazon has several great books you may want to check out here.continue reading…

Keto Strawberry Cheesecake Topping

This is Kasey’s oldest daughter, Morgan. I have created two recipes, The Very Best Taco Meat, and Easy Keto Strawberry Cheesecake Topping. I first started helping her with photography, and then I began to learn to write and create recipes. Since I love cooking and taking pictures; this is the perfect job for me.

Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts my mom makes, but I wanted more flavor in mine. My family enjoys theirs with fresh strawberries and other fruits. I still felt like mine needed a little bit more zing, so I made a low carb cheesecake topping. continue reading…
