There are many things I missed when I moved from North Carolina back into Illinois. Proximity to the beach, being close to the mountains, and eating amazing Carolina BBQ! When I first had some of this BBQ, I absolutely hated it. But I don’t think I was prepared. Funny enough, about a few days later…
It’s a strange and exciting part of the year. The hustle and bustle of Christmas gatherings with family and friends are now over. Those mounds of wrapping paper splattered all over your living room mimicking the festive chaos in your house just a few days ago are now picked up and things are almost back…
Side dishes always seem to be tricky on Keto / low-carb diets. They always seem to feel the same and you can get bored easily. I picked up some brussel sprouts (which the kids love sooooo much) and decided to add that to one of our weekday meals. I was surprised later when looking at…

I came across a similar recipe a looong while back, and have since modified a zillion times to come up with this. It’s a great snack or really light meal if you’re not too hungry. I guess I’m one of those folks on the Keto diet that still has a little bit of a sweet…
