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

Body Image While On a Weightloss Journey

So, today I wanted to write about something that is very personal for me - and that's maintaining self esteem while on a weight loss journey. Throughout my struggle with my weight over the last few years, my self esteem and body image has taken some massive hits. I have had lots of "I look like THAT?" moments, followed by several more "I STILL look like THAT?" The first time it really hit me how overweight I had gotten was at my son's second birthday party. I put a LOT of work into his Toy Story party and the end result was SO cute. I had gone pinterest-crazy and spent way too much money on a two year old's birthday, but I was SO pleased with the result. So much so that I hired a family friend to come take professional pictures. The pride I had felt in regard to his party quickly dissipated when I saw how I looked in the pictures. At first glance, all you see in this picture is a young, happy family - but for me, these photos represent how far gon
