Keto Lifestyle

Sure you can buy vegan cream cheese at grocery stores, but they are often thickened with higher carb ingredients. So why not make your own? It’s easy, and you can culture it similarly to making yogurt. Then spread it on bagels on pop it into recipes for a dairy-free option to cream cheese.

Who needs a second vegan keto sour cream recipe? Apparently I do. This was mostly inspired by the fact that I was out of cashews so I couldn’t make my nut-based one. But I did have half a package of tofu kicking around.

Someone recently asked me to list the keto recipes I use/eat most, to get a sense of which ones she might find most useful. I had to sit and think about it, going through the ones I prepare simply to eat as a snack or meal, along with those I use as staples in my regular day to day cooking.

You know what sucks? Trying to make keto versions of holiday baked goods that use dried cranberries. That’s because sugar-free dried cranberries simply don’t exist. The best option I’ve seen on the market is apple-juice infused ones, but even those still contain a lot of sugar.

Looking for a handmade gift that the bakers in your life will appreciate? Try making your own homemade vanilla. It's relatively easy to make a big batch then bottle it in smaller bottles with personalized labels so you can give them away as gifts for the holidays.

Move over zucchini and spaghetti squash! There's a new contender for best, most versatile low-carb noodle, the humble rutabaga, also known as the brown turnip. After years of doing embracing the low-carb lifestyle, I had accepted that my best veggie-based sub for pasta was zucchini noodles.
