Green Tea Matcha Nice Cream (Vegan)

March 7, 2019 By faith Leave a Comment

Green Tea Matcha Nice Cream is sweet and subtly grassy flavored with hints of coconut and vanilla.

With its pretty green color, I wanted to share my Green Tea Matcha Nice Cream in time for St. Paddy’s Day! If you’re looking for a naturally green treat, this one is perfect. Those of you who love the flavor of matcha will go crazy for this recipe. However, if the full-bodied flavor of matcha isn’t really your thing, feel free to add a splash of mint extract and a handful of chocolate chips for a mint chocolate chip flavor profile. And you can bump up the nutrition and green color even more by adding a handful of spinach to this nice cream recipe! (For more St. Patrick’s Day fun, check out my post on how to naturally dye coconut green.)…

February 21, 2019 By faith Leave a Comment

These Gluten Free Date Bars with Almonds and Oats (Vegan) are nutty and sweet with subtle notes of caramel and a hint of vanilla.

I recently found a huge bag of dates tucked into the back of my pantry. I’m not one to waste food if I can help it, and I wanted to find a way to use them. Crumb bars came to mind! Dates make a delicious filling for crumb bars because they’re naturally sweet and have subtle notes of caramel. Plus, dates are packed with fiber and are a good source of vitamins and minerals. Cinnamon is the perfect spice to accentuate the flavor profile and pull everything together in my Gluten Free Date Bars with Almonds and Oats….

Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Freezer Fudge

Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Freezer Fudge has delicious cookie dough flavor and texture. It’s perfect for keeping stashed in your freezer for when those sweet tooth cravings strike, but you want to stay on-track!

Me and cookie dough go waaaay back. My first cooking memories are of me standing on a kitchen chair so I could reach the counter to stir chocolate chips into cookie dough. I was maybe four. And like most kids, it would go: a chip for me, one for the bowl, lol. And then a fingerful of dough (because for some reason back in the 80s raw eggs didn’t seem to scare us as much?). Oh yes, I have very fond memories of cookie dough….

This Low Carb Caramel Sauce has just 1g net carbs per serving and takes less than 15 minutes to make; you’ll want to drizzle it on everything!

Imagine sitting down to a decadent caramel brownie sundae. There’s a fudgy, rich chocolate brownie as the base. The brownie is topped with a generous scoop of velvety ice cream flecked with vanilla beans. Cascading down the ice cream is none other than this luscious Low Carb Caramel Sauce. A beautiful dollop of freshly whipped cream adorns the top. THIS IS KETO.

I’m not saying that keto is all about indulgences, because it’s not. It’s about quality fats, low carb produce, organic grass-fed meat and dairy. But sometimes a girl just wants to have her caramel brownie sundae and eat it too. And stay in ketosis….

Chocolate Rum Balls (Small Batch; Gluten Free)

December 20, 2018 By faith 1 Comment

Chocolate Rum Balls (Small Batch; Gluten Free) are the perfect sweet treat to bring to your next holiday party! Or keep them stashed in your fridge throughout the holiday season for those times when a craving strikes and you want something that’s decadent without being too indulgent; these have just 2g net carbs per truffle!

Chocolate Rum Balls are a Christmas party classic. I remember going to endless holiday gatherings as a kid and they all had these little boozy-smelling chocolate bites. At first bite you might think it’s an odd flavor pairing, but rum actually brings out the flavor nuances in chocolate. These candies taste like a cross between brownie bites and fudge, in the shape of truffles. They get even better the day after making them, as the different flavors have the chance to blend….

Rosemary Vanilla Cranberry Sauce (Low Carb Cranberry Sauce)

November 19, 2018 By faith 3 Comments

Rosemary Vanilla Cranberry Sauce (Low Carb Cranberry Sauce) is sweet and tart with subtle notes of aromatic vanilla and piney rosemary.

I have a confession; I don’t really like cranberry sauce along with my turkey on Thanksgiving (I know, that’s crazy, right?). But I LOVE cranberry sauce. For me, its uses go well beyond an accoutrement for turkey on Thanksgiving dinner; it’s the perfect thing to keep stashed in your fridge for the holiday season!…

5 Minute Low Carb Hot Chocolate Recipe

November 15, 2018 By faith 3 Comments

This 5 Minute Low Carb Hot Chocolate Recipe is creamy, rich, and deeply chocolaty with complex flavor notes of vanilla and coffee.

As a kid, one of the things I looked forward to most about winter – in addition to snow days – was hot chocolate! There was something incredibly magical about spending the better part of the day sledding, coming inside only to thaw out our red cheeks and frozen fingers and drink cocoa, and then heading back out to brave the cold again.…
