She Cooks Low Carb

My daughter was talking about having a brunch themed party.... which got me thinking about brunch foods.... which got me in the kitchen to whip up some low carb sausage balls!

These are made with almond flour instead of the carb loaded biscuit mix they are usually made with.

The recipe made 24 so I’m going to put the leftovers in the freezer to heat up in the microwave when I want one of these tasty little things!

What other “brunch foods” should I convert to low carb?

Keto Sausage Balls Recipe - Whisk Just like traditional sausage balls, only keto and tastier!

It’s a new month and time to update my weight loss calendar.

🥁Drum roll, please!🥁 I’m down SEVEN+ pounds this month! It’s been 116 days and I’ve dropped THIRTY-TWO pounds!

I don’t like having my picture taken (because of my weight) and I normally wouldn’t post a picture of myself but I want to document where I started and where I am now.

So far I’ve only changed my diet. This month I’ll be adding exercise. Wish me luck!

It’s the weekend and in my house, that means it time for BRUNCH!

I’m always searching for new ingredients to use in my keto kitchen so it’s no surprise that I have (not one, but two) keto pancake/waffle mixes in my pantry. I thought it was time to pull one out and whip up a batch of pancakes!

I always like to doctor up any box mix, so today I did just that! I added some more sweetener, a bit of cinnamon, and vanilla to the mix. I sprinkled a little cinnamon/sweetener mixture on top when I served them. (Next time I’ll add a little extra baking powder to increase the rise of the pancakes.)

My taste tester gave them a 9 but I think they were more of a 7. I’ll need to do a little more tweaking to up the score. However, I must say that brunch was really good and I have high hopes for this pancake mix!

When you know there will be sweets at work to celebrate a coworker’s birthday, you make yourself a healthy sweet treat of your own!

They had cheesecake and chocolate covered strawberries. It looked good but I wasn’t mad... I had keto friendly chocolate covered peanut butter bars!

It was like having a Reeses Peanut Butter cup... minus all the carbs and inflammation causing sugar!

I checked out a couple of recipes on Pinterest and used them as a guide. It’s a combination of peanut butter, butter, allulose sweetener, vanilla, sea salt, and peanut butter powder for the base. I used milk chocolate chips and some cocoa butter melted together for the topping. I downsized the amount I made because I knew a little of this yummy candy would satisfy my sweet tooth.

The keto lifestyle is easy to follow when you arm yourself with these delicious alternatives!

Looking for something easy and tasty that’s quick to put together after a busy workday? Look no further than this low carb Tamale Pie!

As always, I love to tweak a recipe to make it a little more “me”. I added more spices (cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and pepper) along with some diced onion and bell pepper to the taco flavored hamburger base. To the cornbread topping, I added shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and diced jalapeños.

Serve this yummy Mexican dish with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, guacamole, and sour cream.

Who says you can’t eat donuts and lose weight at the same time! It’s called having your cake and eating it, too! It can be done.... if you do it the right way!

These cinnamon donuts have a warm spicy interior and a sweet crunchy coating. They are delicious and so easy to make!

Don’t worry if you don’t have mini donut pans, make mini muffin bites instead. They’ll be just as delicious!
