Best Keto Waffles Ever!



I am not kidding either.  I love waffles, always have, so when I came across a recipe and then tweaked it to perfection, oh my goodness gracious!  I knew because of this recipe alone Keto was definitely sustainable for me.

Keto Waffles

1/4 c. melted butter
2 Tbs. softened cream cheese
4 eggs
1 packet stevia (optional)
1/4 c. coconut flour
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 c. frozen blueberries (optional)
Whipped cream (optional)

In a medium bowl mix butter and cream cheese together.  Add eggs, stevia and vanilla and mix.  Add coconut flour and combine well.  Let sit to thicken a few minutes.

Don't mind the stained waffle iron.  It works amazingly well.

Pour batter into a heated and prepared waffle iron and cook.  Makes four waffles.

With some Smuckers sugar free pancake syrup & butter

Approximately = 1g carbs, 13g fat, 5g protein per serving.  Makes 4 servings.

These taste amazing.  I like them made plain with a nice fried egg on top.  You could add some crumbled bacon to the batter for a nice savory option.  Berries are always nice if you are wanting something a little sweeter, either in the batter or just sliced on top.

Raspberry sauce or "syrup"

I like to heat up some raspberries and mash them with a little bit of water and add a packet of sweetener to make a kind of raspberry syrup too.  No matter how you enjoy your waffles, these are pretty fantastic.  If you love waffles I urge you to give them a try.

Keto "Crack" Pot Chicken



In no way did I make this recipe up.  I've seen it made by loads of people over the last little while I've been on Keto and finally decided to give it a try.  Holy cow! (Or chicken as the case may be) This is fantastic!  And with only 3 ingredients it couldn't get any easier or more affordable.


You simply take 3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts or 6-8 boneless skinless chicken thighs and place them in the bottom of your slow cooker.  Then you pour a can of fire roasted salsa tomatoes over that.  You could use your favorite salsa too.  I happen to absolutely love the fire roasted salsa tomatoes they sell in the diced tomato section of the grocery store.


Lastly, add an 8 oz block of cream cheese on top.  Place the lid on and set the slow cooker to high for 4 hours.  When you come back just shred the chicken with a couple of forks and stir it all together.  One word.  Yum!  I see why it is call "Crack" Pot Chicken, you just want to keep eating it.
