Keto Recipe – Almond Flour Crust Pizza

August 8, 2018

This recipe all of a sudden manifested itself when my wife was mentioning something along the lines of wanting to eat pizza. Being on Keto limits what I’m allowed to eat and not.  I’ve made Keto crackers with almond flour quite a few times and they came out great. The Idea behind this is wanting to eat something different, be something easy to make, and be something new. Taste tests from my young children, mother, and wife all came back with great feedback ( it was tasty).

Only thing I would change to this would be to chiffonade the basil and add it a couple of minutes before the timer ends on the last oven placement ( just so it doesnt wilt as much).

Keto Recipe – Reece’s Fat Bomb

August 4, 2018
Keto Peanutbutter Cup

Desserts are something that are very difficult to have while on a diet. These fat bombs will give you a huge intake of fat while remaining true to the Ketogenic Diet. While this might not be the most optimally Keto desert it definitely is something that helps me remain on track. I would like to also add that I do in fact save my bank of carbs for snacks.

Keto – Peanutbutter cup

This creamy and delicious peanutbutter cup is the closest thing to having something close to the real thing.

Keto Peanut Butter Cups

    Layer 1 [ Bottom Layer ]

    • 2 tbsp Earth Balance Peanut Butter
    • 2 tbsp Whole Milk [ Can Subtitute]
    • 10 drops Stevia

    Layer 2 [ Middle Layer]

    • 2 tbsp Earth Balance Peanut Butter
    • 1 tbsp Land O Lakes Butter
    • 10 drops Stevia

    Layer 3 [ Top Chocolate Later ]

    • 1 oz Lilly's Dark Chocolate
    • 2 tbsp Land O Lakes Butter
    • 10 drops stevia

    Bottom Layer

    1. Place the items required for layer 1 into a cup/bowl and mix until creamy.

    2. Evenly space contents into 5 large cupcake molds or 8 small ones [ You want this to cover the entire bottom but not form a huge layer. The Layers have to be even.

    3. Place cupcake pan into freezer (you will place it in there while you make layer 2).

    Middle Layer

    1. Place the items required for layer 2 into same cup / bowl.

    2. Microwave for 10 – 15 seconds depending on your microwaves power. You do not want to burn the butter. Less is more! The butter will eventually dissolve into the peanut butter / steveia mix.

    3. Remove previous pan from freezer and evenly space contents among previous bottom layer.

    4. Place pan back into the freezer.

    Top Layer [ Chocolate ]

    1. Take contents and place in cup/bowl (no stevia yet).

    2. Place in microwave for 10 – 15 seconds. It is imperative you do not overcook this layer. If you put it for too long your chocolate will turn into a brownie. (less is more).

    3. Stir until everything is dissolved.

    4. Add 10 drops of stevia (after the microwave).

    5. Remove previous pan from freezer and evenly space contents among previous middle layer.
