Let’s Buck(eye) The Norm!

Buckeyes. I'm not sure if they're a North Eastern United States thing, if they're made elsewhere but under a different name, or if everyone knows what they are. I'll assume that SOMEONE out there doesn't know what exactly I'm talking about, so I'll explain. Buckeyes or Buckeye Balls are a truffle like version of a … Continue reading Let’s Buck(eye) The Norm!

Pe-can you give me a slice of your time?

Low Carb Pecan Pie. The (in my opinion) ULTIMATE Christmas recipe to be tackled! I LOVE pecan pie, but I haven't had it in years due to the fact that it's sugar, sugar and more sugar. However, I had a request to come up with a good low carb recipe for one this year, so … Continue reading Pe-can you give me a slice of your time?

Low Carb PB Cup, I eat you up. Let’s have a Party!

While making various baked goods the other day I was thinking of ways to incorporate some of my new favorite bariatric products into recipes. One of my favorite products that was new in 2019 is ZenEvo Protein Cups. I already included their Cookies and Cream cups in the White Hot Chocolate recipe I recently posted, … Continue reading Low Carb PB Cup, I eat you up. Let’s have a Party!

Party (Mix) on, Wayne!

For many of us, this time of year not only includes a lot of sweets and baked goods, but an old familiar friend of a snack: Chex Party Mix™. If you're on a low carb diet of any kind, this snack is, unfortunately, anything but a friend. While you may think that making something consisting … Continue reading Party (Mix) on, Wayne!

It’s White Hot (chocolate, that is)…

So it's that time of year when we all want the warm foods. Whether you live in a place that gets lots of snow or a place that rarely sees temperatures below 60°F, it just seems to be a universal thing (okay, I can't really speak for people in the southern hemisphere). Having weight loss … Continue reading It’s White Hot (chocolate, that is)…

Use your Egg-Noggin with this one…

While I intended the Triamisu brownies to be the last recipe post before Christmas, I had a request for my Low Carb Eggnog recipe. Who am I to deny such a simple request?Traditionally, eggnog is extremely sugary and thick, so obviously very outside of the boundaries of what we should have as low carbers/bariatric patients. … Continue reading Use your Egg-Noggin with this one…

I Tiramis-You…

Okay guys, I'm super excited about this recipe. This is a bit of a departure from the rest of the Holiday Survival dessert recipes. Instead of cookies or candies, tonight I have Tiramisu Brownies for you! This recipe combines a low carb, fudgey brownie recipe with a ricotta custard topping. I will admit that the … Continue reading I Tiramis-You…

Dat Cookie, Dough….

Get it?... Cookie though? Cookie dough?.... Note to self: puns aren't funny if you have to explain them. Now where's the window so I can throw this rule out of it and continue in my ways?Moving on... Peanut butter cookies. These babies right here are why I feel so bad for people with peanut allergies (and … Continue reading Dat Cookie, Dough….

This Will Definitely Make You Toss Your Cookies…

Doesn't that just scream "read me!"? When it comes to writing, there are two things I just completely blank on: naming/titling things and conclusions. When it comes time to work on either of those, it's like someone switched my brain to television static. But that tid bit aside, here's the second post of Christmas Cookies … Continue reading This Will Definitely Make You Toss Your Cookies…

Let’s Get The Meatball Rolling…

This post is a little off course for most people when it comes to Christmas foods, but at the same time I know a lot of people have a tradition of eating Italian food at their Christmas celebrations. Whether you have Italian heritage or it's just a tradition started somewhere down the line in the … Continue reading Let’s Get The Meatball Rolling…
