TheKetoFoodJournal Recipe: Low Carb Strawberry Cheesecake Bites

As part of my Lent experience, I’ve decided to cut carbs - which essentially means I’ve adopted a keto diet for the time being. With this new venture, I’ve started an instagram called “TheKetoFoodJournal”. Feel free to go on this journey with me if you’re interested in trying it, learning more, or just finding more mindful low carb recipes and inspiration!

This recipe tastes like eating Strawberry Cheesecake flavored frozen yogurt <3.

Each Cup: 90 Calories - 2 g Net Carbs - 1 g Protein - 9 g Fat

Recipe: My Family's Beloved Chocolate Chip Cookies

This recipe is a family recipe. I may be biased, but I truly think they are literally the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever tasted! Also, this recipe makes a boatload of them, making it great for gifting or making a cookie sheet cake!

Recipe: Lemon Gingerbread Sandwich Cookies

Welcome back! This year’s edition of gingerbread house making went much much better than last year’s. I’ve included some pictures to #humblebrag. (It’s still super simple, but I’m proud nonetheless.) But, this post actually isn’t about the house, but rather the extra cookie dough! Last year, I made sandwich cookies with the extra dough (really as just a way to get the massive amounts of extra gingerbread out of my apartment - but they seemed to actually go over really well!). Here’s a review of my gingerbread recipe (details on my gingerbread house post). If you want to just jump straight to the cookie sandwich part, go to step 7 (where we start cutting circles).

Recipe: Gingerbread House

Please don’t let my house’s lack of structural integrity dissuade you from making this easy and delicious gingerbread recipe! We had a wonderful time decorating what we called “The House after the Kansas City Blizzard 2018”. (The Blizzard was super cool by the way! My first Blizzard!)

Recipe: Bite Sized Strawberry Lemonade Pies – featuring Girl Scout Lemonades

These are delicious and make a perfect Valentine's day treat. Happy Valentine's Day!

Note: I used too much butter (this recipe is updated has accounted for that). However, if you happen do the same, the cup form will not hold. FEAR NOT – just reform the cups using a spoon in the pan after the first 10 minutes and then keep an eye on the crusts until they are thoroughly darkened/crunchy.

Recipe: Campfire Rice Krispie Treats – featuring Girl Scout S’mores

PAM everything. I mean everything, this makes the process so much easier. PAM the pot (on the sides too, not just the bottom), PAM the spatula you plan to use, PAM the dish that the treats will cool in, PAM any utensil that may come into contact with the melted marshmallow. If you don’t have PAM, you can also use butter or oil.
