KETO Chicken Enchilada Soup
Yesterday here in SE Texas was cold, rainy and just generally yucky. Anytime it is like that I start craving soup… and yesterday it was all about Chicken Enchilada Soup. One Pot Dinner Not only is this soup perfect for a cold day but it is also perfect for the busiest of nights. The soup is made all in one pot and done in under 30 minutes… yes all done in under 30 minutes. It starts with veggies and ends with cheese, does it get any better? Yes, it is KETO friendly I took a “break” from my KETO journey for the holidays and honestly I am not 100%…

Loaded Chocolate Chip Cookies
I am a cookie fanatic this time of year and these Loaded Chocolate Chip Cookies are a must make. Trust me these will be Santa’s new favorite cookie! A little bit for Everyone For me a good chocolate chip cookie is a little crispy on the edges, soft in the center and loaded with tons of chocolatey goodness. My families favorite chocolate chip cookies are these, but let me tell you after they have these cookies they might just change their minds. Not only are these cookies crispy and soft but they are also loaded with tons of yummy. First I used semi-sweet chocolate chunks and then I threw…

Cranberry Pistachio White Chocolate Shortbread
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE shortbread. Anytime there is a shortbread option on a cookie platter that is the one I go for first. There is just something so decadent in each buttery bite. So much yummy I am a happy girl with just a plain shortbread (like this one), but for the Holidays I decided to amp it up a bit with a little extra something. To start with I wanted a little something tart and pretty so I added in one of my favorite holiday tasted, dried cranberries. Next for a little crunch I went with another favorite, pistachio’s. I love how they taste and how they look,…

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,…

Roasted Cauliflower Mash
This Roasted Cauliflower Mash has quickly become one of my most favorite sides. Growing up mashed potatoes were a staple on our table. My mom loved them and my grandmother loved them so anytime we could have them we would. Whether they were just the traditional recipe or something a little extra special like these Garlic Mashed Potatoes, it didn’t matter we loved them all and now I love this cauliflower version (trust me I cannot believe I just said that out loud). Roasting is key To really amp up the flavor in this Cauliflower Mash I roasted the cauliflower prior to mashing it. Roasting it really helps to add…

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…
