Keto Pumpkin Bread
Pumpkin anything is my downfall, but a really great pumpkin bread is my MOST FAVORITE fall treat. Time for Pumpkin, people I love to use pumpkin in baking. It adds so much moisture to cakes and breads without a lot of extra fats, carbs or calories. I even add it to my coffee sometimes for a little extra creaminess and something special….my own homemade PSL. For this recipe pumpkin is the star and it helps to create one of the best pumpkin breads I have EVER had. A little extra crunch To add a little something extra to this amazing pumpkin bread I topped it with spiced walnuts. Yes,…

Bacon Brussels Sprouts
A side dish can truly make or break a meal…but this quick Bacon Brussels Sprouts dish will make any meal AMAZING! Super Easy The beauty of this side is with a few simple ingredients and one pan you can create a side that everyone is sure to love…even those that are not big brussels sprouts fans. To amp up the flavor I cooked the sprouts in the bacon grease which not only helped to caramelize them perfectly but also added a ton of bacon-y (it’s a word I promise) goodness to each bite. It also meant that everything was cooked in the same pan, making clean up even easier! FYI…If…

Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole (KETO/Low Carb)
Who doesn’t love a good casserole. I know I do. They are my comfort food and this Bacon Cheeseburger has everything a good casserole should have, and then some. Bacon, please This casserole all starts with bacon. I used 1/2 lb of bacon and cut the strips into small pieces and then cooked it all in a large skillet. If you leftover bacon you can use it, but I love how the bacon flavor becomes the base of the casserole when you cook it in the same skillet as the meat. The bacon adds so much flavor and really elevates this casserole to the next level. My moms hamburger casserole…

Pumpkin Butter Cookies (KETO/Low Carb Friendly)
Happy Fall!! I cannot believe it is almost October! To celebrate I made KETO friendly Pumpkin Butter Cookies and they are AMAZING! The perfect Fall cookie One of my biggest fears going on KETO was missing out on the sweets. To be honest I do not have a big sweet tooth but I do like a little something sweet here and there. A couple of friends suggested I make “fat bombs” immediately and I did and I love them (I will post a recipe for those soon) but the last few days I have been craving a cookie or cake…specifically pumpkin cookies or cake. Thankfully I adjusted a favorite recipe…
