I got to 195 and then ended up pregnant. I still exist and have been doing keto. Until I got pregnant. Just a little update. Once the baby is here I’ll be back on it.

Made these amazing Cheddar biscuit breakfast sandwiches every night this week! It's been a breakfast for dinner kinda week.

Chocolate Fudgey Brownies

4 oz Baker’s Unsweetened Chocolate 3 Tablespoons refined coconut oil (zero coconut flavor) 3 ripe avocados 3 eggs 2 Tablespoons vanilla 1 Tablespoon coconut flour 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda 2 Tablespoons Golden flax meal 40 drops EZ Sweetz 3 Tablespoons cocoa powder 1/3 cup Natural Mate Granular Sweetener

Place avocados, sweeteners, vanilla and eggs in the food processor and blend together. Melt the chocolate with the coconut oil in the microwave and then add to the food processor, blend more. Then add in the remaining ingredients and blend until the batter is thick. 

Pour into an 8x8 brownie pan and bake for 30 minutes at 350. Cool and eat! 

I tried eating them warm but thought they were better the next day straight out of the fridge, topped with whipped cream and walnuts. Reminded me of those Little Debbie Fudge Brownies that I ate as a kid. 

Alfredo Spaghetti Squash Casserole

Serves 2 with leftovers

1 spaghetti squash 2 tablespoons cream cheese 2 oz. mozzarella cheese ¼-½ cup Alfredo sauce 6 strips crispy bacon, chopped (I cook mine in the oven following the packaging directions) 1 cup leftover chicken, diced 1 tablespoon dried parsley Salt and pepper

1. Stab your spaghetti squash all over with a sharp knife. Place on a microwaveable plate and microwave for 7 minutes. Turn over and microwave an additional 6 minutes. Check for doneness. It will be fairly soft.

2. Slice squash in half and scoop out seeds. Use two forks to scrape the squash into spaghetti strands and put these into a large bowl.

3. Add the cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, Alfredo sauce, bacon, chicken, parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir this all together.

4. Spray an 8x8 dish with coconut oil spray. Pour in squash mixture and flatten evenly. Top with more shredded cheese.

5. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. I broiled mine for a few minutes to brown the top.

This was soooo good and is one of my favorite meals and my husband also loves this. It’s easy and fast and is great leftover.

Can’t sleep and I’m craving hot chocolate. So I copied a recipe offof r/ketorecipes:

“It makes 2 ½ cups total, and whole batch has 260 calories, 6 net carbs, 24g fat, 3g protein.

¼ cup heavy whipping cream 2 ¼ cups water 3 tbsp cocoa powder ½ tsp cinnamon ¼ to ½ tsp salt 3 tbsp splenda (or sweetner of your choice)

Whisk together and heat on the stove until warm, whip till frothy!!”

Added a “splash” (probably about ¼-½ tsp) vanilla extract. I’d suggest using about half of the cinnamon if you don’t want it to taste like cinnamon hot chocolate.

Topped with whipped cream and served in the mug I got as a last minute memento at the airport on my honeymoon.

Zucchini Noodle Chicken Pesto Bowl

Quick and easy, sautéed zucchini noodles tossed with pesto, chicken and tomatoes. (Great with last week’s recipe, Basil Pesto) Yield: Serves 2 IP Suppers (protein + veggies) INGREDIENTS 2 Tbsp olive oil 2 6oz boneless skinless chicken breasts IP Salt ¼ teaspoon paprika 2 medium large zucchini (to get 3 cups) 2 garlic cloves, sliced ¼ cup prepared basil pesto (recipe last week) Handful of cherry tomatoes, cut in half Several fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced, for garnish DIRECTIONS 1. Cook the chicken breasts: Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breast(s) with a little salt and the paprika. Heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil on high heat in a large sauté pan. Place the chicken breasts in the pan and cook for a minute or two on each side, until well browned.  Lower the heat to low and cover the pan, cook for 2 to 5 more minutes (depending on the thickness of the breast) until the chicken is just cooked through.  Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest while you make the zucchini noodles.

2. Make zucchini noodles: Use a spiralizer to make zucchini noodles with the zucchini.

3. Sauté the zucchini noodles, garlic: Add another 1 Tbsp of olive oil to the pan you used to cook the chicken and heat it on high heat.  Add the zucchini noodles and the sliced garlic and sauté, stirring often, until the noodles begin to wilt. Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon of IP salt while you cook the zoodles.  When they are just barely cooked and if they are releasing moisture, remove them to a colander placed over a bowl to drain.

4. Slice or cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

5. Toss zucchini noodles with pesto: Place the zucchini noodles in a serving bowl and toss with basil pesto.

Serve the zucchini noodles in bowls topped with chicken, tomatoes, and sliced fresh basil leaves.

Add mixture to pie crust and cook for 30-40 minutes at 350°. Briefly use the broiler if the middle is still a little wet.

This recipe is the most delicious thing in the universe!!!! Give it a try and let me know what you think⤵️ CHEESECAKE KETO BOMBS💖 Ingredients🍎: 6 ounces cream cheese 2 - 2.5 ounces fresh or frozen strawberries (or raspberries) 2 ounces salted butter (4 tablespoons) 1 ounce granular swerve sweetener (roughly 2 tablespoons) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Prep👩🏻‍🍳: 1. Let the cream cheese, strawberries, and butter sit at room temperature for about an hour to soften before continuing with the recipe. 2. Puree the strawberries using a small blender like the Nutribullet. Alternatively, you can mash them by hand, but the texture will be less smooth. 3. In a bowl, combine pureed strawberries, sweetener, and vanilla, stirring until well-mixed. 4. In a separate bowl, microwave the cream cheese for 10 seconds until very soft and pliable. This is an optional step, but it makes the cream cheese softer and more easily combined with other ingredients. 5. Add butter and cream cheese to the bowl with the strawberry mixture. Use an electric hand mixer and beat until well-mixed, ideally without any large cream cheese clumps remaining. 6. Divide the batter into 18 round silicone molds, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Freeze until solid, about 2 hours, before serving. Store leftovers in the freezer.

A casserole I made yesterday. The bulk of it is chicken breast that was boiled and then shredded, broccoli florets, 6 super crispy pieces of bacon all mixed together with a cup of Alfredo sauce, topped with 2 cups mozzarella and some of the bacon. It was all cooked for 12-15 minutes at 350°, just enough time for the broccoli to cook through and the cheese to get melty and crispy.
