    I LOVE LOVE LOVE fat bombs...peanut butter cups to be exact. I probably make 2 batches a week! They really help with ketosis too!

    For me it is a cream pie that I make using cream cheese, sugar-free jello, and heavy whipping cream! !

    I need to try the fat bombs as well, but I've really been enjoying herbal teas in the evening. I really like the Celestial Seasonings Lemon Zinger or Mandarin Spice.

    Atkins Peanut Candy. It's like eating a regular bag of M&M's for me and I don't have to cook it. LOL.

    Use a tiny bowl---take a dozen of so 100% real cacao chips…2 tbl heavy cram, dab of butter, microwave for 20 seconds til bubbly..add Stevia/Truvia..stir..I like to dip a teaspoon into the "soup" or toss in some chopped almonds & dry coconut flakes..and nibble.

    Fulfills the "sweet-chocolate -crunchy" taste I desire..otherwise I take 2 oz cream cheese, mash in 1 tbl butter, sweetener/vanilla/lemon ( or other) flavor..mash more and eat with a spoon..it's not quite 'cheesecake', but dense and creamy to satisfy. Make only one serving, enjoy.

    My best trick is to buy netrition.com Capella "flavors" $3.26 for a bottle of pure flavor-no alcohols- like Pralines & Cream, or Blueberry/raspberry ( means you can use FEWER real fruits for same flavor) "Sugar cookie" and Chocolate Raspberry" make a real difference in protein shakes….AND to iced coffee…Love having these when it's hot out.

    Sometimes all we need is a little "flavor' taste to keep to the plan vs giving in to a Adkins candy bar or cookies which are truly NOT low carb…but false carbs at high price in more ways than one..

    Timwhoa…zowie..I LOVED the ricotta cheese use in fritters and in SB ice-cream…I haven't bought Ricotta during my Low Carb WOE…but these simple recipes are really engaging. Haven't made any fried LC deserts before, so I wonder if almond flour can be substituted for soy flour in his recipe? ..will test it and see.

    I've made the LC cheesecake with cream cheese-butter-HWC and lemon flavor for a long time..so the use of Ricotta is a nice change!
