Thai Iced Tea

July 11, 2019 By faith Leave a Comment

Thai Iced Tea has a balanced flavor profile of sweetened black tea and complex spices with a creamy texture – made from scratch with no artificial food dyes!

I had my first Thai Iced Tea in Thailand, sitting in sweltering heat and humidity in the middle of a tropical paradise! It was lovely, complex-flavored, and so refreshing. I haven’t had Thai Tea in a long time, but suddenly a craving came out of nowhere. I’m going to show you how easy it is to make Thai Tea from scratch so you can enjoy it all summer long….

Low Carb Devil’s Food Cake Cupcakes with Crème Fraiche Frosting

June 20, 2019 By faith 1 Comment

Low Carb Devil’s Food Cake Cupcakes with Crème Fraiche Frosting are lightly, fluffy, and deeply chocolaty with a slightly tangy creamy frosting.

Some foods just sound so decadently naughty that the name alone makes you want to devour them (or at least intrigues you!). Fried mac and cheese, fully loaded mashed potatoes, chocolate caramel peanut butter cheesecake, croissant French toast casserole, to name just a few. But not all indulgent-tasting foods are unhealthy!…

Coconut Rum Paleo Banana Bread

June 6, 2019 By faith Leave a Comment

Coconut Rum Paleo Banana Bread is moist and tender with a tropical banana bread twist!

Growing up, banana bread felt like a special treat every time my mom would bake a loaf. As an adult, I don’t make it often, but when I make banana bread I like to have fun with the add-ins with things like Piña Colada Banana Bread. There are two things I love about banana bread: 1) how easy it is to make, and 2) how fun it is to switch up the flavor profile!…

Almond Butter Brownies

May 23, 2019 By faith 1 Comment

Almond Butter Brownies are rich, fudgy, and deeply chocolatey! You’ll be surprised that the batter has half a cup of almond butter because you can’t taste it. Each brownie has just 2g net carbs per serving!

I’ve experimented with almond butter-based brownies more times than I can remember! Either they ended up with the wrong flavor (too much like almond and not enough like chocolate), or the wrong texture (there is no place for rubbery brownies, cakey brownies, or cardboard-y brownies in my world)….

If before going keto your favorite candy bar was Reese’s, this Low Carb Salted Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups Recipe is for you! Dark chocolate + rich peanut butter are a classic pairing, and a little flaky sea salt intensifies the flavors.

Most of us can agree that chocolate + peanut butter is a flavor pairing made in heaven! This combo is the basis for several popular candy bars, including Reese’s Pieces, Butterfinger, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, to name just a few. For those of you who try to minimize sugar and highly processed ingredients but still enjoy an occasional treat, my Low Carb Salted Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups Recipe will become your new favorite….

Keto Carrot Cake

April 18, 2019 By faith 2 Comments

Keto Carrot Cake is richly spiced with a moist crumb, just the right amount of carrot, and a luscious cream cheese frosting to top it off.

It’s the cutest thing; my grandma went keto about a year ago (her doctor recommended it for medical reasons). After that, every time I head up to Buffalo to visit family, she tells me that she’s dying for Keto Carrot Cake. Well, on my next trip to Buffalo I won’t be going empty-handed. Grandma, this one is for you (xoxo!)….

Soft Keto Sugar Cookies with Sugar Free Vanilla Frosting are a delicious low carb way to satisfy your sugar cookie cravings!

I searched for the best keto sugar cookies for a very long time. (And in the process I tried more recipes than I care to admit!) Keto baking can be quite finicky, and nothing yielded the result I was looking for. Finally I came up with this recipe for Soft Keto Sugar Cookies with Sugar Free Vanilla Frosting that’s as close to regular sugar cookies as I can get it!…

My Banana Nut Keto Breakfast Cookies are just that! Plus they’re super easy to whip up and keep well for up to 10 days. They’re a great sweet treat to have on hand for busy days when there’s no time to cook….

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.)…

Gluten Free Date Bars with Almonds and Oats (Paleo and Vegan)

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….
