My Keto Spot

Being Keto should not keep you from going out to eat! I was at a conference recently in Anaheim, just minutes away from Disneyland! The group I was with decided to go out for dinner and they chose Roscoe's. They were concerned about my dietary preferences and offered to go elsewhere instead. If you don't know, Roscoe's is known for delicious fried chicken and scrumptious waffles. Googling this place, you'll see there are not many low carb/keto options, but you can stay keto and eat here! I am always up for the challenge of finding something to eat, wherever I go, so we went to Roscoe's. Even our table was super sticky from all of the delicious syrup going around.  I stared at the menu for a bit and settled on the Chef salad with ranch. It was good, and the chicken was great! I had the smell of fresh, warm, delicious waffles surrounding me, and even that did not make me regret my decision of sticking with a low carb option. If you want an

Keto/ low carb easy peasy flourless mug cake! In the evening when I'm ready for dessert, I want something yummy and low effort! If you're like me, then this mug cake is for you! The ingredients you likely have in your pantry already! So really, you just need to have about 2 minutes to spare. Ingredients: 2 tablespoons Almond Butter 1/4 teaspoon Baking powder 1/2 tablespoon Pyure (really any sweetener, and to your liking) 1 large Egg Directions: 1. Add all ingredients to your mug or ramekin. 2. Mix! Mix! Mix! I use a fork to really mix it all together. If you don't mix well, you will end up with a layer of scrambled egg. 3. Microwave for 60 seconds. 4. Let cool for a few seconds and enjoy! I like to transfer mine to a plate, just place your mug upside down over your plate. Don't forget yummy toppings! My favorite toppings: Lily's chocolate chips , ALL of the whipped cream, fresh berries, and Walden Farms pan

When you are doing keto you can have your cake and eat it too! Nowadays there are several options for keto and low carb cakes. There are mixes you can take home and whip up in a jiffy or you can make one from scratch at home.  I enjoy the convenience of being able to pick up this mix at my local health food store and being able to have an easy cake whenever I want! I picked up this Swerve Cake Mix at my local Clark's Nutrition for $7.19. Pretty good price for something that is low carb and convenient! How easy is it to make? Super duper easy peasy! I obviously had to complicate it by using coconut oil that I partially melted, so once I was whisking everything together, it was a bit hard. The directions don't specify a type of oil to use, if you don't like the taste of coconut then you definitely want to use something else. All you need to have at home is some type of oil, water, vanilla, and eggs! You whisk it all together and then put it in your prepared pan.
