Keto Snickerdoodles






     This Keto lifestyle is a yummy way to live.  No suffering here!  My #keto Snickerdoodles are a perfect case in point.  AND, I found a new trick to take my cookies to the next level.  Each of the 10 super Snickers are only 49 calories, 4.5g carbs, .6g fiber, 3.6g sugar alcohol, .3g net carbs, 2g protein and 4.3g fat.  Have 5 or 6 and make it a mini meal.  Who says cookies aren't good for you!?

Ingredients for 10 cookies~
1oz/2 Tablespoons Cream Cheese, room temperature
1 Tablespoon Butter, room temperature
1 jumbo Egg

1 teaspoon Baking Powder

     Add first set of ingredients to bowl and beat with mixers til fully combined.  Chill in fridge 1-2 hours.  Mix second set of ingredients in bowl and set aside.  When ready, scoop dough by level Tablespoon, roll in ball and roll in Cinnamon Sugar mixture and set on Silpat lined cookie sheet, repeat with remaining dough.  Bake at 350 for 15 minutes, remove and cool.  Chill in fridge for extra delicious twist on cookies.  This step makes a remarkable difference in flavor... in my opinion.  Enjoy  :)

Keto Egg Fast Muffins






     Doing a 5 day Egg Fast encourages creativity to avoid monotony!  How does the saying go...!?  Necessity is the mother of invention!?  I had seen a few Keto Egg Fast Muffins recipes and decided to put my own twist to the test.  Each Muffin is 145 calories, 4g carbs, 4g sugar alcohol, zero net carbs, 5g protein and 13.3g fat.  These are absolutely delicious, and you can determine the middle creaminess by controlling the baking time.  #choices #ketoon
