• KETO Pumpkin Muffins

    Muffins are my weakness…especially pumpkin muffins.  One of my biggest fears when I went on KETO was I would have to give up my muffins, I mean they are normally not low carb.  Thankfully that fear was put to rest with these AMAZING KETO Pumpkin Muffins. The Swirl is EVERYTHING It is no secret that I am all about anything and everything pumpkin spice.  As much as I love a good plain pumpkin muffin to make these a little extra special I added a cream cheese swirl to the top.  Isn’t just about anything better with a little cream cheese swirl? I kept it super simple with just cream cheese,…

  • Spiced Molasses Sandwich Cookies

    I have a new favorite cookie… Spiced Molasses Sandwich Cookies!  Trust me… you will LOVE them! The perfect blend The cookie itself is quite sweet, especially with the course sugar, but the pumpkin-butter buttercream is the perfect balance.  It is just a little sweet with a good bit of spice making each bite the perfect balance.   If you are planning on just eating the cookies and not making them into sandwich cookies you could leave off the sugar until right when you bring them out of the oven.  That way the sugar is just on the top and not on all sides. Sugar options When I roll cookies in…

  • Pumpkin-Butter Buttercream

    The Holidays call for 2 things in my book… pumpkin and buttercream. One of my favorite pumpkin treats is Trader Joes Pumpkin Butter.  It is a little sweet with a little spice making it AMAZING!   When you add it to this buttercream recipe it is AMAZING! Not your normal filling I love a good sandwich cookie with a  good filling.   I love the richness and creaminess it brings to anything and everything you add it to.  Most of the time buttercream is used on cakes and cupcakes, but this time I used it as the filling for my new favorite cookie.  Yes cookie my Spiced Molasses Sandwich Cookies. If…

  • Crispy Cheese Chips

    To all my KETO/Low Carb friends do you ever find yourself craving something crispy like a chip?  Well, I don’t know about y’all but I do.  To help meet the craving I started searching for low carb chips and kept seeing these cheese chips and I had to give them a try. So Crispy Even though everyone online kept talking about crispy these “chips” were I just had to find out for myself.  When I went to the store to get the cheese slices I found a party pack of pre-sliced cheese and I grabbed it right up.  It had cheddar, havarti, colby and gouda.  I was so excited to…

  • Pumpkin Sugar Cookies

    September is in full swing and that means it is Pumpkin Spice Season…right?  To celebrate everything pumpkin, I had to make these Pumpkin Sugar Cookies.  They are my new favorite sugar cookie!! Not too much Pumpkin Ok I know that sometimes pumpkin spice can over power everything and become too much, but not in these cookies.  There is just enough hint of spice, without being in your face pumpkin pie spice.   If you wanted more spice you could add in an additional 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to make them more like a pumpkin snickerdoodle. Grab a glass This cookie batter does not spread so it is important to press…

  • S’mores Brownies

    S’mores are a must make for me each summer.  Growing up we would have them every July 4th at my grandparents farm and I just fell in love with them, and even now as an adult I crave them when it gets hot outside.   There is one problem though, I do not live on a farm and I don’t camp so to still enjoy a favorite treat I decided to make them into a brownie…yes S’mores Brownies! It’s all about the layers I just love the combo of graham cracker, chocolate and marshmallow.   For these brownies it starts with the graham cracker crust…it is golden brown, buttery and…
