My soul is Bacon

As a Low Carber for the past year, one of the hardest situations I've come across is being at a get-together that has chips and dip and not being able to really snack on any of it. I LOVE buffalo chicken dip and pepperoni dip and spinach dip.  And honestly, most of those are low carb/keto friendly.  But do you know how weird it feels eating dip with a spoon???  Oh yes, I do know! So for a recent party I offered to make the buffalo chicken dip.  I made up my mind I was going to make some LC chips for me to enjoy the dip.  I decided I was going to make two different kinds, so I looked in my cupboard for some spices.  The first one I grabbed was garlic pepper seasoning.  The second I grabbed was Ranch seasoning (I have a big container) and then I eyed the cajun seasoning and thought they would go well together. So here was my set up: I put some Extra Virgin Olive Oil (You can use melted butter too) in a cup and used a silicone brush to brush i...

If you're a low-carber you get it.  If you're not then I'll let you in on the secret.... BPC = Bulletproof Coffee.   Now I'm sure you've read articles and blogs on how amazing this stuff it.  It's a staple to the LCHF/KETO lifestyle.  It provides nutrition and helps make sure you get enough good fat intake for the day.  It is so filling that it is really all you need in the morning.  Not to mention it really does give you a boost of energy. If you really want the breakdown on ALL of the nutritional benefits, then read this article: What is Bulletproof Coffee + The Benefits of Grass-Fed Butter & Coconut Oil in Your Coffee Basically, BPC is coffee with a tablespoon of grass-fed unsalted butter (I use Kerrygold, like many others) and a tablespoon of Coconut Oil (or MCT oil).  And because coffee is water base and the other are oils you cannot simply put them together and mix with a spoon or fork (right, Bam? 😉).  This will need to be...

If any of you knew me before I started this way of eating then you know how much I LOVED dessert.  Chocolate🍫.  Cake🎂.  Cookies🍪.  Ice Cream🍦.  It was just as much a staple to me as was meat.  Definitely ranked higher than veggies.  I needed something sweet daily.  I'm talking I would sit at home and eat a spoonful of Nesquik to curb my sweet tooth.  #NoShame! So I, like many others, was concerned how I would get through not being able to have anything sweet since sugar has no place in the Low Carb/Keto world.  Well thankfully I am no quitter.  I will find my way around ANYTHING that stand in my way of what I want.  And what I wanted was to be able to have something sweet after dinner. Remember those links I posted in my first blog post pointing to the FB groups I was apart of?  Utilize those!  There are people in there who have been eating this way for years.  Tons and tons of ideas.
