Recipe: Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies

So, I've had a rough couple of days hormonally... the kind of days when you are crampy and bloated and feel like you could eat a small country, you get my drift. I have been wanting dessert something AWFUL so today I decided to do some experimenting in the kitchen and create these Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies. They are sugar, gluten, and grain free. I had about a half a bag of Lily's Chocolate Chips in my pantry, plus some uneaten Lily's Milk Chocolate Bar. I used both for this recipe! The two different chocolates add a nice flavor contrast! You can find the Lily's chocolate chips at Whole Foods, or you can order them here! (They're a bit cheaper at Whole Foods).



Recipe for Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies:
1 1/2 Cups Almond Flour
1/2 Cup Salted Butter (softened)
3/4 Cup Erithritol Sweetener
1 TSP Vanilla Extract
1 Egg
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 Cup Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Chips
1/2 One Lily's Chocolate Bar (optional)

Bake at 350 Degrees for 12 Minutes

The second Lily's Chocolate is not mandatory, but I think it's tasty. I used a Salted Almond & Milk bar, but you could add whatever flavor you liked, some of the more interesting flavors might taste good too! Also, you can use another brand of sugar free chocolate chips if you like, but I used Lily's.


- Combine all of your dry ingredients
- Separately, beat your sweetener in with your egg, and add the butter and vanilla, mix. 
- Mix the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients
- Fold in the chocolate chips


Mix until thoroughly combined, then scoop out into small balls on wax paper on a baking sheet.



I made mine small so it made about 20 small cookies.

Bake for 12 minutes at 350 degrees.


And... you're done! Let them cool and enjoy!
The texture is a little soft and biscuity thanks to the almond flour, but they are really good!



This is a great base recipe that you could add extra add-ins too. Some ideas are nuts, sugar free candies, sugar free peanut butter, etc. 


Hannah says she thinks they are delicious! 😉

Recipe: Cheesecake Fruit Dip

Happy Memorial Day! Later today we are going over to my parent's house for a family dinner and yesterday I was perusing the Aldi for something fun to bring along with us. They had some great looking keto-friendly-fruit (berries) for super cheap (which, let's be honest, that's why we love Aldi!). So I grabbed a bunch (all for under $5) and decided to come up with a fruit dip that would compliment it. I used to create a fruit dip that was [delicious, but] chock full of sugar that was cream cheese, cool whip and sweetened condensed milk. Every once and a while, I would try to reign in the sugar by buying "light" or sugar free cool whip, but still, the sweetened condensed milk accounted for everyone's carbs for the day (or week). Anyway, it was one of my favorite things to make for a party, and I wanted to come up with a keto friendly alternative. On instagram somewhere, a friend posted a recipe for keto condensed milk, and I'll try that one day, b...

"The Fat Woosh" Theory

So, you may or may not have heard this theory before, but it's one of those "I wish I'd known about that earlier" things that I recently started to understand. When you are on a weight loss journey, you sometimes will experience stalls or periods of unexplained plateaus. You're doing everything right, but you're not losing weight. It can get super frustrating, but there may be a scientific reason why it's happening. I've touched on this a little bit before, but today I wanted to explain it in a little better detail to provide some clarity, and hopefully, some encouragement if you've found yourself in a weight loss stall.  So, I've talked before about how your body puts in a lot of work to keep us healthy and thriving. Sometimes, if you change your eating habits suddenly, or are losing weight too quickly, your body will work to slow down the process, in case this might indicate that you are starving or in crisis. We know that we're not...

My Reason "Why"

"When you feel like giving up, remember why you started." I have discussed my issues with chronic illness here before, but for those of you who don't know, I have suffered from Hashimotos Thyroiditis, Hypothyroidism, PCOS and adrenal fatigue for about 7 years. After my son was born in 2011, my health just plummeted, and I became extremely ill. My immune system shut down, letting in an infectious blood virus, and a bad case of mono. Soon after, my digestive health and functioning went out the window, and I started suffering from bad bouts of IBS three or four times a week. This was a vicious cycle: I was already in the habit of binge eating junk food, and I had a particular love for carbs and sugar. Then, my Doctor poorly advised me to eat a high carb diet to get my stomach issues under control. This sounded like a best case scenario to me: little did I know, it was going to be the start of years and years full of chronic illness. Before getting pregnant with m...
