a collection of things i make with my hands
Every year since I can remember, my family has made waffles for breakfast Christmas morning. When we lived in the Philippines, we’d celebrate up in the mountains and Christmas morning we’d wake up, open our stockings, and set about making waffles with strawberries and chocolate and whipped cream. There was no way I could give up this beloved tradition when I switched to a ketogenic diet, so I knew I had to create a recipe for Keto Belgian Waffles.
Last weekend, we pulled out all our Christmas decorations. More than the tree, the wreath, the stockings, or the ornaments, my kids were excited about their advent calendar. Every year we fill our advent calendar with activities and scripture to take us through the advent season. And now I have free advent calendar printables for you to enjoy with your family!
I don’t know what the weather is like where you live, but here in Minnesota things have definitely taken a turn toward the wintry! And there’s nothing I want more after coming in from playing outside in the cold than a steaming hot cup of hot chocolate. Luckily, with this keto hot chocolate mix, I can make some on a moment’s notice!
Of all my grandma’s recipes, her turtle bars are my absolute favorite. They’re my kryptonite whenever she sets them out. Since going keto, I’ve done a good job taking one bite and then passing the rest of it to my husband, but now I’ve done one better and made them into my keto dream! These low carb turtle bars clock in at only 2 grams net carbs per bar so I can now enjoy a whole bar without sharing!
