Keto Brownie Cheesecake

ABSOLUTELY SCRUMPTIOUS
I found this recipe online from Ditch The Carbs.  It’s definitely something that I’ll make again and again.
I might slightly vary it in the future but make no mistake, this recipe is yummy as is.
Garnish it with a big dollop of Cool Whip or your favorite NSA ice cream, or cut it and eat it piping hot out of the pan like I did.
For those with dietary restrictions, this recipe contains, no flour, no sugar, no coconut, no nuts. 
Libby at Ditch The Carbs is a girl after my own heart.  She doesn’t like long lists of ingredients either. She keeps it simple.
I like simple.

Maple Pecan Scones

Not my recipe… but a great one that I had to try.  It’s a keeper.
I’ve been all over the board with non-sugar substitutes.  I am literally trying everything I can find.
The author of this recipe swears by Swerve and for some reason I have yet to try that one.  So even though the recipe calls for SWERVE, I used Xylitol.  They still taste wonderful.

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

I love that these cookies are so easy to make.
The cookie dough does require 4 hours refrigeration, so factor that in to your prep time.
Once they’re out of the fridge, just roll them in balls dip them in sugar and bake.  Easy Peasy.
This recipe will also make at least 72 cookies.  Which is a GOOD thing!

Shepherd’s Pie– With Cauliflower Mash

I found this recipe and just tweaked it a little so that it would make enough to feed a very hungry family.

I also cheated a bit from the original recipe.

I’ll admit it… I used frozen mashed cauliflower.  The truth is… you probably will too.

This is low carb, but I did add one carrot as I think this recipe needs the carrot  not only for flavor but color.

Gingerbread Biscotti

I looked through over a dozen Gingerbread Biscotti Recipes and this looked to be the best.  And it was !
I’m not much of a dunker, but I’ve heard they’re excellent for dunking.

Cauli-Rice Pudding

Nothing thrilled me more than finding a low carb version of rice pudding.
There are a lot of versions of cauli-rice pudding out there, but quite honestly, I stumbled on the perfect one the first time out.
