I want to give a shout out to my amazing, crafty sister Jeni in this blog. She makes the most beautiful cards and invitations, she truly has a gift. She always makes well thought out creations for all of our family members and friends. My kids are always in awe of them when they arrive in the mail for birthdays or holidays. She's an awesome mom who always finds the time to host wonderful themed parties for her kids and take an active role in everything they do. She has a blog of her own entitled Flip-Flop Creations, where she displays her beautiful cards and craft projects. Look her up and put her talents to the test, I guarantee you won't be disappointed! Her imagination and creativity never cease to amaze me!

Low Carb Double Chocolate Brownies

If you are a chocoholic like me, you are going to love these fudgy brownies! They are so rich and moist with no added sugars. I also use powdered Erythritol for this recipe and for my cakes as well. Reason being, Erythritol turns back to a crystalline texture when it cools. Using the powdered variety helps keep the texture smooth after your baked goods cool. You can make your own powdered Erythritol by grinding the granulated variety in your blender until very fine. If you choose to use the granulated form, just eat the brownies while they are still warm. Also, vegetable glycerin helps to retain moisture when using sugar substitutes, just make sure you only use food grade glycerin. I use one sold by Now Foods. I was pleasantly surprised with the taste and texture of these brownies, simply delicious!

Low Carb Hearty Chicken Noodle

I love comfort foods like soups and stews, especially in the Fall and Winter months. They always seen to warm the soul. One of my favorites is a simple chicken noodle. I use Dreamfields Rotini pasta in this dish, but feel free to use any type of low carb pasta that you have on hand. Bone-in chicken will make a better tasting soup.

Low Carb Breakfast Frittata

For those of you who have never heard of the frittata, it is basically an unfolded omelette, simple as that. It has eggs, veggies, cheese and if you like, throw a little sausage, ham or bacon in too. This dish is so versatile, I like to change it up every time I make it. I will use our favorite combination for this recipe though.
