How it's going Reader? I’ve been obsessed with chai tea lattes since I was 22, when I lived in Colorado, I tried one at a little coffee shop called Paris (of course). Oh 2009, what a time to be alive. This chai spice mix is my go-to now. Because store-bought is usually full of weird sugars and filler garbage that no one on this planet asked for or needs. This one’s cozy, clean, and ready for lattes, protein shakes, cookies, all of it. Also: trying to plan ahead for Halloween this year, but...

How it's going Reader? It’s September 9. Which means I’m lighting a pumpkin candle, sweating through my hoodie, and baking something with maple because fall is a mindset. These protein maple pecan blondies are what I like to call a “seasonal soft launch.” Sweet, chewy, nutty little squares of comfort that give all the cozy dessert feels... but still check the box for being high protein and low carb. We love a responsible-ish treat. I made them during that weird back-to-school energy where I...

How it's going Reader? Is it just me or are the holidays actually a fever dream? Like, one minute it’s September 1st and I’m feeling smug with my pumpkin candles while planning for Fall, and the next thing I know it’s December 22nd, I’m taping a broken ornament back together with scotch tape, someone’s crying over glitter glue, and I haven’t made a single cookie. Which is exactly how this salted dark chocolate almond bark came to be. It’s literally panic-proof. The kind of recipe you can...

How it's going Reader? Back-to-school is here, open house is Thursday, and honestly my brain is one long loading symbol right now. Dinner this week needed to be… well, basically effortless. So I “accidentally” made the easiest one-pan chicken broccoli stir fry of my life. No 12-ingredient sauces, no juggling three pans like I’m auditioning for Food Network, no “wait, did I seriously forget the broccoli”. Just high protein, low carb, and all the classic takeout feels, but somehow easier. We’ve...

Hey there, friend! These high protein low carb pigs in a blanket are one of my favorite things to bring to any holiday party, game day get-together, or family gathering. They’re bite-sized, wrapped in bacon, brushed with a sweet glaze, and gone in minutes, every single time. Nobody asks if they’re low carb, they’re too busy reaching for seconds. With just 3 simple ingredients, they’re easy to make but feel a little fancy, which makes them perfect appetizer for any festive spread. They are...

Hey there, friend! Sometimes you just need a little sweet treat every now and again, right? I subscribe to the fact that we are humans, we celebrate things, and food goes hand in hand with events. Just because low carb lifestyle doesn't allow us to indulge in sugary junk, doesn't mean we can't get a little creative and make something truly tasty! Plus, that grocery store cake is probably not even worth it ;D Over the years, I've rounded up my favorite EASY keto desserts that taste amazing....
