Happy Saturday! Today I’m going to be diving into the weird world of cakes from my limited point of view. A few days ago, I showed you guys my second attempt at decorating a “fancy” cake for a family birthday. But I skipped talking about the first part of the cake making, and moved straight…

A case of the cake poops
Hey friends! How’s your week going so far? As corny as it sounds, I’m really happy to be past Monday! I’m taking this week off of baking (kinda) so that I can focus on catching up on this blog and other life projects. But last week was a baking-palooza! So, the next thing I want…
Cat-tastrophe: A tail of caramel macarons
Ok, so a few posts back, I showed you what I was capable of as far as macarons go. It wasn’t a pretty site. Except those were chocolate pecan macarons. The swarthy cousin of the petite french macarons. I have been trying for the better part of a year to bake the delicious french macarons…
Thickening Agents
Happy Thursday ya’ll! Yes, I said ya’ll. Ok, let’s move past it. Today I want to talk about thickening agents as they apply to low carb baking and cooking. In my last two posts you read about me lamenting the non-use of xanthan gum in my bakes. I took some time and did some reading…

Oh wait, pancakes are hella NOT low carb. *whimpers* However, while I was searching for the perfect blueberry muffin recipe last week, I found one for blueberry pancakes from…

You’ll also see the two recipes that I combined and converted to low carb ingredients. The decision to try to make this recipe low carb…
Oat me in, Coach!
Welcome to round three of my experiments with Blueberry Muffins. In this batch, I added another new ingredient in an effort to get more rise in the muffin. I actually used a whole new recipe for this muffin: https://ketocookingchristian.com/blueberry-lemon-muffins-keto-low-carb-gluten-free/. The new ingredient entering the competition? Oat fiber. Oat fiber is made from the fibrous husks…
I Can’t Believe It’s Not Pasta
So, I’m on month four of learning to eat low carb. Starting this diet right before the holidays was a little nuts on my part, but I learned a lot about self-control in the process. I already talked about the food I miss the most: pizza. The second food I miss the most? PASTA. I…
Revenge of the (Coco)Nut!
As some of you already know, I have been testing out a recipe for low carb blueberry muffins from https://www.fatforweightloss.com.au/recipe/keto-blueberry-muffins/  Last week I made a batch with coconut flour and a batch with almond flour. Overall, I liked the muffins made with the almond flour better. They had more rise, the flavor was subtle, and the texture…
