Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies

There is only one word to describe these cookies…

AMAZING!

I have been craving a good chocolate chip cookie & these are under 2 net carbs!

Yields: approx. 24 cookies

Ingredients:

1/2 c. Almond Flour
1/2 c. Coconut Flour
2 tbsp. Swerve Sweetener (I used the granular for this recipe)
2 tbsp. Swerve Sweetener Brown
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp. Sugar Free Vanilla
pinch of Pink Himalayan Salt
1 Egg
8 oz. Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 c. Butter, softened
1/2 bag of Lily’s Chocolate Chips

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Mix together wet ingredients and slowly add the dry ingredients until just combined – do not add the chocolate chips yet (I use my Ninja blender for cookie dough too, SO EASY! It’s literally my favorite kitchen tool)
Once cookie dough is combined, hand mix-in the chocolate chips
Use a small cookie scoop and scoop dough onto a nonstick cookie sheet
Bake 12-14 minutes or until they start to golden

3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

Starting Keto, for me, wasn’t difficult. What was? My sweet tooth! Between you & I, I have a whole Pinterest board just for low carb desserts… mainly cookies (shh!). These though, are amazing! What makes them better is the fact they only use 3 ingredients – YES you just read THREE!

Yields: 1 dozen cookies

Ingredients:

1 c. Peanut Butter (I use Santa Cruz, only nuts & salt)
1/2 c. Swerve Sweetener
1 large egg

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, until well combined
Roll into 1 inch balls or.. cheat like I did and use a cookie scoop
Bake 12-15 minutes.
Gently press down and let stand for a few minutes, these are crumbly when warm

Tip: These are 100% better when you sandwich some homemade whip cream between them!

TOP SECRET: Watermelon’s Best Slicing Secret REVEALED

TOP SECRET:

Watermelon’s Best Slicing Secret REVEALED

Pin it HERE http://pin.it/7Ijay17

Trust me when i say that this was the quickest, easiest, simplest way to cut, clean up and put away the “leftovers” of a watermelon! I didn’t have a juice pool all over my counter, or have to intricately cut the rind “smiles” off the watermelon. CHECK THIS OUT!

What You’ll Need:

a whole watermelon
a sharp knife
cutting board
a medium to large bowl

Steps:

Before you start, ALWAYS wash your Watermelon! Then… to be safe, WASH IT AGAIN! The rind of melons carry bacteria like E.coli, listeria, and salmonella.

Cut your watermelon in half. “Hamburger style”

Set one half aside for a bit and turn the other half flesh side down on-to the cutting board

Trim off the rind starting from the top

Once you have cut all the rind off the melon, cut into slices “hamburger” and “hotdog” style

Place your bowl over your melon after you have finished slicing

With the help of your cutting board, turn over the bowl of melon and VOILA! Easy to serve, already to-go sliced watermelon!

BEST French Dip Sandwiches

BEST French Dip Sandwiches

What You’ll Need:

2.5-3# roast (I used a beef roast, but surely a pork or lamb roast would work just as well)
1 Hidden Valley dry ranch packet
1 packet Lipton beefy onion dry soup mix
Handful of pepperonchinis (I used 7, no spice – just FLAVOR!)
2 cups beef broth
Sliced Cheese (I used provolone)
Black Pepper
Olive Oil
6-8 “Durable” Rolls (rolls that will hold up to the au jus and not get soggy then fall apart on you – I used Terra Rolls from Festival)

Directions:

Season roast with black pepper (you can also season with salt if you’d like but I opted not to because the ranch packet and beef broth have plenty of salt)
Add roast to crock pot with broth, soup mix, ranch mix and pepperonchinis. Cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours in a slow cooker
Once cooked, let your roast rest before cutting so all the juices do not run out. Slice thinly and add back to au jus until ready to prepare sandwiches
Cut your rolls in half (do not cut all the way through). Brush the inside with olive oil. put them face-down on a cookie sheet and bake at 400º for 5 minutes or until brown & toasty
Make foil “boats” to hold your sandwiches up while toasting
Put sliced meat into your rolls and top with sliced cheese
Put back into the oven for about 5 minutes until cheese is nice and melted, put some au jus into a small dipping dish and ENJOY

TRY this Ranch Potatoes recipe to go along side these sandwiches – PERFECT MATCH!

Ranch Potatoes

What You’ll Need:

2-2.5 pounds potatoes (I usually use red, but have used russet & Idaho also for this recipe)
1 packet dry Hidden Valley Ranch mix
1/3 cup Olive Oil (I used pure oo but have used evoo also)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400º
Cut potatoes into small wedges (or chunks works fine too)
In a large bowl mix together potatoes, olive oil and ranch
mix until potatoes pieces are well coated
Pour potatoes out onto a cookie sheet (I STRONGLY suggest lining
the cookie sheet with aluminum foil – it is easier to turn the potatoes
and to clean afterwards)
Bake 20 minutes and turn potatoes over, bake another 20 minutes

Copycat Starbucks Blueberry Muffins

What you’ll need:

2 cups all purpose flour + 2 tablespoon
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar + 4 tablespoons sugar & 1 teaspoon
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons honey
1/4 cup vanilla yogurt
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup whole milk
2 cups fresh blueberries (defrosted & drained frozen blueberries would also work for this recipe)
2 teaspoons vegetable oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350º
Line a muffin pan with liners (I was able to make 20 “filled” muffins with this recipe)
Mix together 2 cups of flour, baking powder and salt – set aside
Cream together butter and 1 cup of sugar. Add eggs, milk, yogurt, honey and vanilla.
Mix blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour, coat well – this helps the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of your muffins. Add blueberries to your batter
Add batter to muffin pans, bake for 5 minutes
While baking, mix streusel topping. Mix together vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon of flour and 4 tablespoons sugar + 1 teaspoon
After baking for 5 minutes, remove muffins and add streusel topping. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes (poke with a toothpick at 15 minutes)

DIY Patriotic Wreath

DIY Patriotic Wreath

Pin it on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/420101471472522720/

What You’ll Need:

Metal Wire Wreath (I used an 18″ wreath)
Red, White & Blue Paints & Paintbrushes
Clothes Pins (I used 54)
Wood Crafting Stars
Ribbon (I used red)
Hot Glue Gun & Glue Sticks
White Spray Paint (flat finish)
Clear Spray Paint (satin finish)

Directions:

Spray paint the wire wreath white & let completely dry (with the flat finish will dry quickly)
Figure out how you want your clothes pins. I alternated sides and put a pin about every half inch
Decide how big of a section you want the blue part of your “flag” to be & how many pins you want in each “stripe.” My blue section had a total of 19 clothes pins, I also had 25 red clothes pins and 15 white pins (in sections of 5)
Paint your clothes pins and stars (I used 13 stars)
Once clothes pins and stars are dry, you can start re-placing them onto your paint wreath and hot gluing them in place
After clothes pins are all on, hot glue the stars onto the pins in the blue section
Touch-up any spots you think may need a little extra hot glue to stay secure and glue on ribbon to hang, then finish by spraying with clear finish
