She Cooks Low Carb

Being from the south, biscuits aren’t just nice to have... they are a necessity! These are as close to a southern biscuit I’ve had since going low carb and ditching wheat flour.

Looking for a cheddar bay style biscuit? Add 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes to dry mix and then continue with recipe as written.

Be sure to brush tops with melted butter when they are hot from the oven. If you haven’t tried Kerrygold butter... DO IT! It is the BEST!

When your sweet tooth cry’s out for something but you don’t want to spike your blood sugar, make this super easy candy recipe in less than 15 minutes!

It’s so easy! Just melt some “no sugar” hazelnut chocolate spread (I love Choczero brand, it’s a keto-friendly Nutella) and some sugar free milk chocolate chips (Lily’s brand) in the microwave, stir and then add in some chopped hazelnuts. Use a spoon to drop the yummy mixture into some mini muffin paper liners. That’s it! It’s that easy to make some quick HEALTHY candy! Only 83 calories and 1 net carb per piece!

120 days....
Down 34lbs!
Better mental acuity!
Less inflammation in joints!

Today marks 120 days of my new way of eating. I went keto and have not cheated one time. Now that’s unheard of for me when I “diet”.

What’s different this time? I’m not dieting! I’m changing my eating style. I’ve dropped the “American Standard Diet” and have adapted my eating habits to the KETO LIFESTYLE.

Not diet... lifestyle! Lifestyle, as in, this is how I eat now. The “diet” mentally doesn’t work for me! If you say I can’t have candy, cakes, and cookies, I want more candy, cakes, and cookies!🤣

Following the keto lifestyle, I MAKE and EAT all those yummy treats! They just aren’t full of sugar (sucrose/fructose) that wrecks the body!

I’ve researched different keto-friendly flours and sugars... and there’s plenty of them! I’ve experimented with different savory and sweet recipes... thank God for bloggers and Pintrest! I’ve tried things I’ve liked and things I’ve loved. In 120 days only one thing was inedible and that was due to the “brand” of an ingredient that I bought, not the ingredient itself. (Oat Fiber is amazing, but not the Anthony’s brand. Their Vital Wheat Gluten is good, though.)

Got a sweet tooth and love bread? (That’s me! 🤚) I can make great “keto friendly” garlic cheese biscuits, jalapeño skillet (corn) bread, and wonderful sweet muffins, cakes, and cookies! I’ve even made peanut butter cup candy that I think is better than the one you buy! And it is full of protein and healthy fats and most importantly, it doesn’t spike your glucose!

This is working for me! What works for you when you are trying to be healthier and lose weight?
