No Bake Grain Free Chocolate Haystack Cookies

December 11, 2013 By LowCarbOneDay

I recently had a request for a grain free version of the no bake haystack cookies that are usually made with oats.  My first thought was that coconut would be a great substitute for the oats.  I decided to use a combination of the shredded coconut and the flakes to give it more of the…

Toasted Coconut Muddy Buddies

December 4, 2013 By LowCarbOneDay

One of my all time favorite desserts around the holidays is Muddy Buddies or Puppy Chow.  If you’re not familiar with Muddy Buddies/Puppy Chow it’s a recipe that covers Chex Cereal with cocolate and peanut butter and then coats it in powdered sugar.  Of course I needed to lower the carbs on this holiday treat. …

Almond Butter Balls

November 13, 2013 By LowCarbOneDay

One of my favorite recipes is No Bake Almond Butter Bars.  This time I wanted to go closer to the original recipe that uses graham cracker crumbs and use some of my Homemade Grain-Free Graham Cracker Crumbs.  If you make up the graham cracker crumbs ahead of time you can easily whip the Almond Butter…

March 18, 2013 By Karen Sorenson

It’s always good to have a variety of ways to prepare vegetables so that you do not get stuck in a rut.  I have really enjoyed spaghetti squash this winter, but I usually end up just making spaghetti with it.  I decided to step outside of my comfort zone and make an Asian style noodle…

November 28, 2012 By Karen Sorenson

No Bake Almond Butter Bars One of the desserts I used to make all the time was Peanut Butter Bars.  Last year I created a low carb version that was delicious, but still required baking to make the “graham cracker” crumbs.  This year I wanted to create a no bake version and I also wanted…

Chocolate Dipped Almond Butter Cookies (Low Carb and Gluten Free)

September 26, 2012 By Karen Sorenson

I’ve seen variations of these cookies all over Pinterest that are normally made with Peanut Butter and sugar (or Splenda).  Making these cookies reminded me of the first time I saw the recipe.  I had just graduated from college and my diet consisted of basically the following: fried chicken, pizza, chicken tenders, fries, and lots…

September 5, 2012 By Karen Sorenson

My birthday was right around the time I started the Whole30, so I wasn’t able to try out the awesome ice cream maker my fiance bought me.  I didn’t jump right back into eating sweets after the Whole30, but after a long week of traveling and being away from my kitchen I just had to…
