I just got back from vacation and boy did I over do it! I had this ice cream called bride’s cake which reminded me of a burnt almond torte cake. At first I planned on using those flavors for an ice cream, but I’ve been making too much low carb ice cream lately I decided to make this burnt almond torte chia pudding instead!

It’s basically a thicker and more dense cracker and with the right seasonings you can make them rather quickly. So I made this batch and loved them and each cracker is only 0.9g net carbs!

I am on a mission to make a good low carb ice cream. I was pleasantly please with my caramel butter pecan recipe last week so today I thought I’d try a low carb black cherry ice cream. That is my hubby’s favorite too! While last time that was a no churn ice cream, this time I used an ice cream machine and I have to admit I liked it better. My family thought it was just like store bought with one exception. It still needs to soften before scooping and that is because there are no stabilizers in it.

It’s all about zucchini in the summertime. It seems to be the easiest thing to grow and the most prolific. However my husband will only eat it fried and my son will only eat it in the form of zucchini bread (and that’s a new development).

This summer I’m trying to find more things to do with those big green clubs in hopes my family will jump on board and start to like zucchini too. So I came up with these savory zucchini waffles.
