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!

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…

Grilled Fish
In the past year I have become OBSESSED with fishing. There is nothing like being on the water with a fishing pole in my hand. I don’t even care if I catch a fish, I just love being out there. Now trust me it is SUPER FUN to catch a lot (see below) but I love it regardless. Just a Few… This summer some of my girlfriends and I hosted a fishing tournament of girls vs guys.

It adds a little heat and some extra creaminess making this casserole a little something extra. Don’t worry though it is not super spicy… just a little bit of heat. Super Easy To make this…
