Allulose - The best tasting sugar alternative

I've been battling a sugar addiction for all my life. But, I find most alternative sweeteners absolutely disgusting. I find no enjoyment in drinking a diet soft drink or adding a packet of anything found in a restaurant's sweetener dish (besides actual sugar) to my coffee. But, I realize the calorie count in sugar, raw sugar, or honey is not going to help in my eternal quest to be lighter and have more energy.

 I found Allulose on Amazon and it had great reviews.There is no aftertaste and it is now my absolute favorite alternative sweetener. It's only about 70% as sweet as sugar, it's hard to find, and it is a bit expensive. Allulose dissolves easily, even in cold drinks, and it can be used in baking (it browns like sugar) or for candy . I'm hoping this will be used in more keto and low carb products in the future. Until you can find it at your local grocery store: Check out Allulose on Amazon

Tuna Salad with Cucumber Chips (plus veggies with ranch) - Easy Keto Meal Prep

Image
The holidays are over. It's time for my hardworking husband to return to his hectic schedule of working during the day and going directly to law school afterwards for evening classes. Luckily, this semester he was able to choose classes which all end by 8:30 pm!!! This is huge for us. I typically have to meal prep breakfast, lunch, and dinner for him. This semester we will be able to eat dinner together, a late 9pm-ish dinner. I'll definitely be posting some of these fantastic dinners soon. Today I made a batch of my lovely egg muffins, cut veggies with ranch dressing (scroll down for this recipe), and these lovely tuna salads with cucumber chips: Tuna Salad with Cucumber Chips Makes 4 salads Ingredients: 2 cucumbers, washed 5-6 oz chopped romaine lettuce, washed 7oz canned albacore tuna, drained 1/2 cup mayo 2 tbsp dijon mustard 2 tbsp dill pickle relish (not sweet) salt & pepper Directions: Place lettuce in the bottom of your prep dishes.

Zucchini Lasagna - Recipe

Image
I wasn't expecting to like a noodle free lasagna but, I believe this is every bit as good and satisfying as a non-keto version. The secret is to slice the zucchini thin (using a mandoline slicer like this one  is a must) and then to lightly cook each slice to remove excess moisture and soften. The lasagna cut easily and maintained layering for the most part. Creamy, meaty, yummy. Ingredients: 2-3 medium Zucchini (italian squash) 14oz Full Fat Ricotta Cheese 2 Eggs 16oz Shredded Mozzerella Cheese 28oz Marinara Sauce (low sugar) 1lb Ground Beef 2oz Parmesan Flakes (the good kind) Trim off ends and thinly slice zucchini lengthwise using a mandoline slicer . Discard first and last slices as they are mostly skin. Gently warm each slice, on both sides, using a nonstick pan  like this one , until they start to develop a hint of color. Set aside to cool. Spread a few tablespoons of the marinara in the bottom of the lasagna pan. Add first layer of zucchini slices to bottom...

Getting Back on the Keto Wagon - New Years 2019

Happy New Year!!!  So I have a confession... I fell off the Keto wagon. It started with a bit of food poisioning from Korean BBQ and it kind of morphed into the "Holiday Excuse". So yeah, I've had my fill of bread and sugar cookies and caramel lattes. And I'm so excited to get back to dropping weight. So whether you're just getting started, jumping back on the wagon, or just looking for some fresh inspiration - I'm back and ready to deliver fresh content. ***This page may contain affiliate links.
