Bakers and low carb enthusiasts, I’ve been thinking in my head over the last few weeks about how to make a better low carb pasta alternative. I’ve searched the internet for low carb pizza crusts and found one that has worked out really well. I’ve since then taken that dough and tried to use it…

Diet Set-backs
Ok, so I’m going to take a step back from baking and re-direct my focus to cooking for a minute. Every week I start out by prepping different meals that will be healthy and low carb, but also will do well as leftovers. That way I can have quick lunches or dinners on days when…
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…
Biscuits & Gravy
Happy Tuesday everyone! So last week while I was dog/house sitting for my friend, we had some pretty-nasty weather here in the Midwest. It was hella cold all week and there was one day where it snowed almost all day. There was no way I was going to leave the house, which meant I could…
Tracking Dat Fat
It’s Sunday Funday! What do you all do to make this day a blast? I usually start it with Church, then brunch, then meal prepping for the week. Meal prepping may sound like a chore, but it’s my favorite day of the week and the most fun part of the keto/low carb diet in my…
Spinach Artichoke Dip
Eating out at restaurants is so difficult when you’re trying to eat low carb. You either end up eating salads constantly (not worth it) or being the guy who says “can you leave it off of the bun, please?” However, spinach artichoke dip, baby. That’s one thing that is diet friendly. Spinach, artichokes, cheese, cheese,…
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…
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…
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…
