Recently I read an article about the benefits of gelatin. I’ve heard in the past that it was good for gut health and other such things so I have 2 big containers of it and decided to put them to use. Last week I made hurricane shots and this week I am making these tiramisu flavored gelatin desserts. Gelatin is so versatile and makes great low carb treats! Each of these desserts has only 2.0g net carbs!

November 27, 2017 by Denise 48 Comments

Santa’s Little Helper – a low carb spiked cocoa is the perfect way to unwind during the holiday rush. Creamy, sweet and only 3.8g net carbs, you can drink this with or without alcohol to relax and treat yourself this Christmas.

THESE RECIPES WERE SPONSORED BY TORANI. ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN. MESSAGING BELOW IS INTENDED FOR AGES 21+

I’ll be honest. I didn’t use to like Christmas very much. It was always a little too much of everything. But that all changed when I had Max. Anything I could do to give my son a happy and memorable Christmas was worth it. However now Max is a teen and all the running around and preparing for the big day can be a bit daunting. So this year I’ve decided to treat myself with Santa’s Little Helper – a low carb spiked cocoa. On Christmas eve when everything is ready to go, I’m breaking out the low carb hot chocolate with my Torani sugar free syrups, whipped cream clouds and just a touch of vanilla vodka. I can’t wait!

These raspberry earl grey tea cookies are a tasty way to get a lift in the afternoon. The raspberry and earl grey flavors make these low carb cookies the perfect match to a cup of tea. Gluten free, grain free and only 0.2g net carbs per cookie.

I might have mentioned before that my friend Debbie sells Steeped Tea. I really like them and I have all sorts of flavors. Recently I’ve been liking black teas so she told me about their raspberry earl grey black tea. It and the monk’s blend are my new favorites. Anyway, I’m having an online Steeped Tea party so I wanted to make a few recipes to show all the things you can make with loose leaf tea. I started with these raspberry early grey tea cookies. They are quick and easy as well as delicious. Each soft and chewy cookie just has 0.2g net carbs!

I’m really into biscotti these days. For one thing it’s so easy to make and for another it satisfies my craving for cookies. Usually by mid afternoon I need a little pick me up so lately I grab a cup of coffee and a piece of biscotti and head out to the porch (if it’s warm enough). I love the peace and solitude, not to mention the caffeine and sweets! However with this gluten free maple walnut biscotti I don’t feel guilty about it. Not only is it gluten free, it’s also low carb (2.2g net carbs) and dairy free.

Mint Matcha Coconut Candy (low carb) #SundaySupper

March 12, 2017 by Denise 22 Comments

This mint matcha coconut candy is a tasty and healthy treat. Only a few ingredients to make and 0.3g net carbs for 3 candies!

This week on Sunday Supper we are featuring healthy green recipes in honor of upcoming St. Patrick’s day. I have a great St. Patrick’s Day memory of my niece. She made a leprechaun trap one year and it was awesome! She used a shoebox and a little pot of paint that the little fella would accidentally step in and lead her to him later on. She was after the gold. Kids are great, aren’t they?! Anyway, I had it in my head that I wanted to use matcha green tea for this theme. I started off with a matcha mint biscotti which flopped and so I ended up with this matcha mint coconut candy. It is super simple but it fits the bill: it’s green and it is very healthy! Best of all it only takes few ingredients and it’s low carb as it only has 0.1g net carbs per candy.
