Jen's Baking Adventures

Nut v. Nut

Ok, so in one of my previous posts, I talked about the differences between coconut flour and almond flour. I found a recipe for keto blueberry muffins from http://www.fatforweightloss.com. The recipe calls for one cup of almond flour OR 1/4 cup of coconut flour. The rest of the ingredients are pretty standard so I decided…

Bouquet of Flours

A bouquet of flowers?! Nope, i’d rather have the other kind. Am I right, bakers? Since I started on this crazy baking adventure about six months ago, I have learned so much about different kinds of flours. Bread flour, cake flour, all-purpose flour, semolina flour, whole wheat flour, etc. Since starting the keto diet, I’ve…

Low Carb Quiche Cups

Happy Monday everyone! Yesterday was grocery day so my fridge is stocked full of wonderful ingredients to start meal prepping for the week. This is seriously my favorite day of the week! Part of the point of this blog is to start converting baking recipes to be keto-friendly. However, the recipe I’m going to share with…

The Return of Salted Caramel

OOOOOK, so as promised, I attempted to make low carb salted caramel sauce. Now, I know there are very few people out there on the keto diet who sit and lament not being able to eat this stuff. But, hey, I figure if I could make it accessible, why the hell not? As I put…

Salted Caramel

Happy glorious Saturday friends! My camping trip was postponed due to bad weather. However, this gives me time to tinker with recipes today. I ordered a bag of Erythritol from Amazon this week and finally received it. I decided to start with this sugar substitute as it seems like a natural substance that doesn’t have…

Let’s Stew It!

Happy Friday readers! We’ve made it to the end of the week finally. What’s my reward? A camping trip into the middle of nowhere in 40 degree weather. I’m actually really excited about it. My friends and I own kayaks and there is a lake about 15 minutes away from where we live. We are…

O.C.D.: Obsessive Cake-pop Disorder

Sorry, not sorry, but this post will not be keto-friendly. I need to talk to you all about my obsession with cake pops. Cake pops are one of my favorite treats to make. Whether it is for a birthday party or just because, these little guys make me so happy. Cake pops are actually what…

Perks of Being a Cauliflower

Ok, so we’ve made it through the holidays unscathed. We can’t all say that about our waistbands though. So of course, the diets and exercise routines come out in full force, right? As you know, I’m slowly working on getting my diet switched over to keto/low-carb. As a carbivore, the food I miss the most…

Baking Challenges

Happy New Year! The beginning of 2019 is already off to a great start. The baking blog I follow, http://www.sallysbakingaddiction.com, hosts monthly baking challenges. I started attempting these challenges last year and they are so fun! Sally picks a different kind of food, sweet or savory (baked obviously) for her readers to attempt each month….

2018 in Review

My journey through baking started in June of 2018 and I used Instagram as the initial platform for tracking my progress. I had no idea the things I would learn along the way. I took a few webinars on how to photograph food and have been reading countless cookbooks by Paul Hollywood, Mary Berry, Sally…
