My keto chocolate chip cookies are super popular for a reason, and you might just want to eat the low carb sugar-free cookie dough straight… but since it contains raw eggs, try to resist. 😉 Instead, make this keto cookie dough recipe with almond flour in just 10 minutes!

Let me show you just how delicious keto Cajun food can be with this easy keto gumbo recipe. Instead of using a flour-based roux that’s used in traditional gumbo recipes, this low carb gumbo is thickened naturally with okra and file powder instead, which saves a step and some carbs. We’re also using cauliflower rice instead of the regular kind, but with all the other things going on in there, I promise you won’t even notice....

These keto tamales taste like the real deal, but they’re made without the corn and carbs of traditional tamales.

Because of the shape and exposure to heat, it can be easy to over bake this kind of cake. But this recipe uses both sour cream and buttermilk for an ultra-moist crumb. Unlike most cakes that are filled and enrobed with sweet frosting, the cake can really shine with a bundt cake. Still, the vanilla glaze is literally the icing on the cake for this flavorful and classic southern favorite....

It really inspires me to keep going and learn more about this whole photography and blogging thing so I can share all my culinary adventures with you.This year, my home country of Brazil is hosting the World Cup.

Pronounced “knee-swahz,” Niçoise salad is named for Nice, France, a city located on the French Riviera. Most often, the ingredients in a Niçoise salad you’ll see are: Hard-boiled eggsSteamed or blanched veggies (baby potatoes and green beans are quite ubiquitous)Tuna and/or anchovies (I use both)Briny ingredients like olives (Niçoise olives bien sur) and capersTomatoesRed onionA zippy vinaigrette What will likely surprise you is that the “original” Niçoise salad recipe did not call for potatoes or green beans…or cooked veggies of any kind....

(A big thanks for my friends at Mionetto Prosecco for sponsoring today’s post!) I’m in full-on summer mode! ☀️ As in: I was browsing membership prices for our neighborhood swimming pool just now. Not sure if we are going to do it, though. Not only it’s a bit pricey but there’s something about sharing a pool with strangers that freak me out a tiny little bit. Do you guys have a communal pool membership?...

Over quinoa? Has the sun set on this little fiber and protein-rich powerhouse? Did its popularity rise, then fade into oblivion like the cupcakes and Krispy Kremes of yore? Or could my sister just have been toying with my emotions? I’m hoping it’s the latter, because in addition to a fierce addiction to these Chicken Quinoa Crock Pot Stuffed Peppers, I have enough quinoa squirreled away in my basement to feed a small football team, assuming that football team is, you know, into quinoa....

These pistachio chocolate balls are for that person in your life. The one for whom it is impossible to shop because she already has everything. The one with unattainably high standards.

This easy no-bake dessert is here to please all—the highly discerning and those of us who regularly walk around wearing socks that don’t match (raises hand)....

(This post is sponsored by SweeTango, but all opinions are my own!) Tomorrow I fly back to NY after a month in Italy. I’m feeling all kinds of emotions, as I am missing home (and Tim and Lola) but also very grateful for this amazing journey. Italy will be forever in my heart and I cannot wait to come back! But guess what? I’m a restless soul and am already planning the next adventure!...
