If you are like me you love yourself some yummy girl scout cookies. My all time favorite? The Samoa cookies. Given that there are girl scouts at every super market corner these days, I thought it only fitting to ketofy this cookie. Afterall, shouldn't everyone get a chance to experience some of this deliciousness without the guilt of carbs and sugars? Keto and low-carb friends rejoice! This version has the flavor, texture and taste that rivals the original with far fewer carbs. Plus because I used unsweetened shredded coconut, there is only a minimal amount of naturally occurring sugar/carbohydrates. ONE 'normal' Samoa girl scout cookie will set you back 9grams of Carbs with 5g of sugar. My copycat Keto Samoa cookie is only 0.5g of Net Carbs and 0g of sugar! Ingredients: *Cookie Base: Follow my Shortbread Butter Cookie Recipe *Caramel: Follow my Keto Caramel Sauce Recipe 1.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut 3/4 cup Lily's dark or semisweet chocolate morsels 3 teaspoons coconut oil Directions:

Before we went Keto my family had pasta at least 3 days a week for dinner, possibly more. I never had any desire to make my own pasta then because there were so many options out there. Fast forward to being full keto and there really is NO keto pasta option at all, so here I am deciding that I needed to make my own; not because I was necessarily craving pasta, but because I wanted to see if it was possible. My family and I have found some relatively decent pasta alternatives— shirataki noodles and black bean noodles—but yet, I still wanted to make my own. Before keto I loved the soft, chewiness of gnocchi. There was something so comforting about eating a bowl of it. I knew that gnocchi could be made with ricotta or even potatoes. Since potatoes were out, I opted for ricotta for these lovelies. They are quite delicate, so read the notes and tips carefully so they don't fall apart while you’re boiling or sautéing them. Serve them warm, straight from the pan drenched in your sauce of choice. Enjoy! Ingredients: 1/2 Tub (approx 7-8oz) ricotta cheese, full fat 1 egg, beaten 3/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese 3/4 cup, plus 1 tablespoon almond flour 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder pinch of salt Directions: Prepping the Gnocchi dough:

If you've ever had lumpia or Filipino eggrolls, then you'll understand the desire to ketofy these babies. When I went keto a few years ago I said goodbye to rice, which if you ask my parents, is quite unthinkable for a Filipina to do. Well I've managed well without rice, but the other Filipino dishes were leaving an empty place in my heart (haha), until now. Keto lumpias are a REAL-THING and quite easy. It is a multi-step process since you have to cook the filling, let it cool, then wrap the lumpias and lastly fry them. The actual recipe is not that hard at all, but the process is long, but oh so worth it. When I made these lumpia I used a coconut wrapper from Thrive Market that had 6g net carbs per sheet. While it is definitely better than the 20-38grams of carbs in ONE regular wrapper (Yup, let that sink in a bit. At the last Filipino party, how may lumpias did you have? Multiple that by 20-38g of carbs and yikes!), I wanted to see if there was better. Luckily Amazon sold these coconut wrappers with only 4g NC - woohoo! I've ordered them to try them so I'll make sure to update this once I do the test. In the meantime you can find the wrappers here amzn.to/30row1Q. Now onto the recipe! Ingredients: 1 lb ground pork 1/2 onion diced 1 tablespoon avocado oil 4 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 head cabbage 1 cup green beans, sliced – These should be "slivered", sliced on an angel. Yes, it will take time to cut these. 1 cup bean sprouts 2 tablespoons fish sauce 3 tablespoons liquid aminos 1/4 cup water salt and pepper to taste Coconut Wrappers (I recommend these) Directions (Filling):

With only 4 ingredients this overnight chia pudding is a great Keto breakfast option when don't feel like eating eggs and bacon (ha!). Don't be fooled by the name. This meal is not at all like a sweet pudding, but more of a oatmeal-porridge-custard consistency. Chia seeds absorb liquid and expand in size overnight giving this pudding its texture. You can still taste the seeds, so if you are not a seed person, you may want to try ground chia seeds instead. The toppings a endless from berries to nuts to a few Lily's brand chocolate chips! Ingredients 2 tablespoons chia seeds 1/2 cup coconut cream 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk 2 tsp maple syrup (Try this keto brand) or yacon syrup (This is our favorite. Click here) Directions
