Made homemade mini peanutbutter cups over the weekend with Lilly's dark chocolate and Trader Joes crunchy flax seed PB. They're flipping awesome. If anyone doesn't know Lilly's makes their chocolate with erithrytol. It tastes perfectly delicious and melts like normal. One bag is hefty; $7 at my Whole Foods, but if you…

Try birthday cake, and lemon cake if you love lemon. They're my faves ❤️

I made a cheeseburger casserole, kinda, for dinner. Keto is working out pretty well tbh

Omg the convo is on Halo Top. Dyiinnggg. I LOVE Halo Top. Love love love. Although like a lot of you said the mint chip is my least fave. Too minty. Birthday cake and lemon cake are my all-star favorites. I think a lot of people struggle with HT becuase to get that perfect gooey ice cream texture you MUST let it sit out.…

Hmmm thank you! I might give it a try. I just see so many cool recipes and they have to have a sweetener!

@toxikon I've heard about erythrythol too. What's the price like on Amazon?

Just out of curiousity, does anyone here use any no-sugar sweetener, and if so what is your favorite? I'm trying to decide what kind I want to use to try some keto baking and I'm probably going to take a crack at stevia, but I wanted some other opinions if y'all have em!

I hope everyone had a lovely Memorial Day Weekend and ate a lot of tasty food! My husband and I basically ate all 3 meals out on Saturday lol

Omg that sounds incredible. @estherdragonbat beet greens are like my favorite type of green. Welcome to the addiction lol.

@rakowskidp Nacho Dorritos dipped in sour cream. You're welcome. @quiksylver296 Couple months ago husband and I found 'nacho cheese' flavor Cheetos at the international grocer. They were AMAZING.

I start Keto and y'all post food porn of dessert. Not fair at ALL :P Husband and I just chilled on Saturday and went out to dinner at our favorite fancy-ish place; we split the charcuterie board as an app, I had a gin and soda and little fillet mingion medalions with bacon brussles sprouts and garlicky spinach. Couldn't do…

Oh! And I should report that my first week of keto has been pretty successful! I lost almost 6lbs of water weight lol. It makes me hopeful. Like maybe I wasn't in with the wolves as long as I thought :D

LOL. When my grandmother was young she was told by her Dr. she was allergic to tomato and lemon and shouldn't eat them, to which she basically said "Eff that" and continued to eat them. She's 87 now they're still her favorites... That and blue cheese lol

@pinuplove @Verity1111 Oh oh! I wanna join in the "cream cheese frosting is the best" club! It's pretty much the base of every frosting I make. @rakowskidp there are so many saints I can't imagine y'all are expected to remember each of their feast days lol. Tonight I made salmon and zuchinni... And I drowned the zuchinni…

@Verity1111 I hope you can get in some food and feel better <3

@Verity1111 I'm sorry you aren't feeling good! Did the Ramen/tea help? My allergies were killing me a couple months ago and all I could get down was hot drinks; cold water hurt my throat and (for some reason) tasted disgusting.

Today is St. Honore's feast day (I'm not Catholic but my mom is). He is the patron saint of bakers so I expect to see lots of cakes and cookies today ;) I myself may attempt keto bread...

@ladyreva78 I don't let my husband within 10 miles of the laundry. He can't wash and can't fold. He threw a bunch of my Goodwill finds in the wash with the tags still on once :# @Verity1111 Thanks for the invite! I'm loving Keto so far but I just can't think about pasta too much...

@quiksylver296 Mini Eggs... SO glad/sad those are off the shelf for another year!!!

Um hi? I'm back... I not only fell off the wagon, I rolled into the woods, fell unconcious for 3 days, but then awoke and decided to live amongst a wolf pack for a while. But I'm back now... And I'm Keto! Husband and I just started Saturday. We just needed to try something different and we both got really excited about it.…

Husband and I did our first 5k yesterday; and even though I haven't run in a year I ran WAY more of it than I expected I could. Starting out, I ran a full 5 minutes, no big deal, and only had to stop because the stitch in my side got SO painful lol. Also, very close to my first weightlifting goal set; 60lb row and bench…

Husband and I did our first 5k yesterday! I walked a lot but also ran a lot more than I expected considering I haven't run in literally a year. Since it was a charity event there were no medals BUT, we each did get a box of free Girl Scout cookies, which my inner fat kid thinks is way bettet than a medal anyway :D

It was husband's birthday this weekend and he wanted Kraft mac and cheese and an ice cream cake. I provided; Damn I had a picture of his cake too but it's MIA. It was coffee ice cream, chocolate glaze, and heath bar on chocolate cake from Cold Stone. It was PHENOM. I also bought a jar of almond butter because I have been…

Was with family and friends in Cali all weekend and ate anything and everything. Today went right back to my 'usual' food and tracking without a thought or gripe. :)

I went to CA this weekend to wedding dress shop with my sister and mom, and I got to see my BFF as well! Obviously much good food was had; but the only picture I have of any of it if from Bucca di Beppo when I ordered dessert not realizing it was QUITE so large... That's my momm a by the way

I am a new Kodiak Cakes convert... I make waffles with it about once a week and top with ff Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and whatever else I feel; last weekend some strawberries were involved Also; had me a pint of Halo Top black cherry last night because I had a zillion calories and macros left. It was really good; lemon…

Literally NOTHING is worse than forcing down a salad you don't feel like eating. Good call!

Has anyone ever had Mom's Best brand cereals? Cause I have; but I just got a new-to-me flavor at the store; the honey grahm ones. Oh my lands it's like eating spoonfulls of cinnamon sugar grahm crackers. Really struggling to only eat them for breakfast LOL. They're 100% carbs of course but one serving of cereal is easy to…

Oh heeeyyyy guys! I'm back lol. I have been literally dying from allergies the last couple weeks and haven't cared about anything aside from my next dose of painkillers. I was honest with myself on the scale today; in the last couple months I've been really bad and gained a few pounds :( But this is a journey with no…

Thank you everyone for the beeday wishes! @SueSueDio @jcraig10 he doesn't cook often... But when he does it's things like my birthday cheesecake, or curry with homemade curry paste... So if he gets a bee in his bonnet to make some thing I just stand aside and offer tips as needed ("Do I have to use the food processor or do…
