  Cats love butter. One time, Sam read that on the internet. It was touted as a cat hack to make them happy. The instruction was to place a dab of butter on the front paw to keep a cat busy and distracted when other things are going on. While I don’t know if cats really do love butter (and know for a fact that this hack is not legit even though she tried it a couple of times), I can guarantee that Sam loves Salted Butter. I haven’t tried the hack on her, yet… Butter is one of those...

My very favorite cookie of all times is the Snickerdoodle. Any time of year, I love the taste of cinnamon mixed with sweet. Studies have shown that the smell of cinnamon can helps with memory and curbs food cravings. Additionally, it elevates mood. No wonder the cookies are so popular.For many of us who eat keto, cookies are off the plate. That’s one of the reasons I’ve worked so hard to make a Snickerdoodle Fat Bombs. Why not make my favorite flavors work for me? My gluten free, sugar free, and low carb recipe improves the good qualities of the...

 When Sam and I had our wedding celebration, we served Kentucky Bourbon Balls. Our friend Cindy helped us make over 500 of them as part of our wedding favor candy bar.

That, plus the fact that the original recipe is far...

When I was working in my parents’ catering business, I learned that Vanilla Whipped Cream makes desserts extra extra special. That’s a chef’s secret that I am sharing with you. Now that we eat keto, Sam and I have whipped cream more often. My sugar free recipe adds much-needed fat to my daily macros. I daresay my Vanilla Whipped Cream makes desserts extra extra extra special. Put it on your berries and your cakes for an instant gourmet upgrade.  PREP: Less than 5 minutesCOOK: No...

For the recent Columbus IN Keto Potluck Picnic, I used sponsor Fleming Family Beef’s ground Charolais to make a Shepherd’s Pie. It was a hit! People loved it! In fact, the Low Carb Revolution Frozen Meals version sold out the next day, to people who attended the event. To make it keto, I layered beef mixed with peppers, mushroom, onions, and green beans with mashed cauliflower and cheddar. I baked the casserole and served it to the crowd of people. Not a bite was left. Make this when you need a hearty dinner. It is stick to your ribs good....
