Low Carb Vegan Linzer Cookies (gluten-free, nut-free)

I think cookies are really the ultimate Christmas food, so for the past week, I’ve been thinking of all the low carb Christmas cookies I want to bake this year! The other day, I made low carb gingerbread cookies, and last night, I pulled out…

Vegan Keto Eggnog Bread Pudding (gluten-free, nut-free)

Hello, friends! It’s late December and I hope you’re feeling as festive as I am. “Festive” to me means baking vegan keto versions of all my favorite holiday treats and this week I’m tackling bread pudding. I know what you must be thinking – “but…

Low Carb Vegan Kołaczki (gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free)

Oh, look, I’m finally posting Christmas things just a few days before Christmas. I’m the worst. Because my dad’s family is Polish, I grew up eating a lot of Polish foods, especially at Christmas time. These cookies are  a staple from my childhood. They’re called Kołaczki Świąteczne (ko-watch-ki shvee-ohn-tetch-ne …ish) and are really easy to make, but super delicious. This vegan keto kołaczki recipe uses few ingredients and is nut-free, gluten-free, dairy-free and egg-free. It’s perfect for the holidays!

Vegan Keto Peppermint Bark Fat Bombs (nut-free, soy-free, paleo, low-lectin, low-FODMAP)

I really like mint and chocolate, and one of my favorite wintery treats used to be that peppermint bark that was basically a layer of mint-flavored dark chocolate, covered by a layer of white chocolate and then topped with crushed peppermint candies. Since absolutely no…

Vegan Keto Cinnamon Buns (nut-free, gluten-free, soy-free)

Cinnamon rolls are one of those treats that I always crave, especially on Christmas morning. When I grew up, my mom would make me and my brother a can of Pillsbury buns every Christmas and I thought, why shouldn’t I still have cinnamon buns? So,…

Egg-free, Dairy-free Vegan Keto “Eggnog”

Egg-free, Dairy-free Vegan Keto “Eggnog”

As you have probably figured out from the multitude of pumpkin, apple and other fall-themed recipes that I keep posting, I really love fall. It’s definitely my favorite season – cozy sweaters, warm beverages, beautiful scenery (I live in a pretty heavily wooded area of New England, and realize how spoiled I am) – what’s not to love? Unfortunately, this lasts about three weeks before everything gets cold and gray and you really have to motivate yourself to get out of bed in the morning. Just me? Never mind then… The good news is that late fall/early winter is the perfect time to start making deliciously spiced drinks. While hot chocolate is my stand-by winter beverage, it’s rapidly giving way to my new obsession: vegan keto eggnog. (more…)

Low Carb Dairy Free Chocolate Fondue

Low Carb Dairy Free Chocolate Fondue

So, I’m not typically someone who gets all giddy at the idea of Valentine’s Day, but I do really like cheesy romantic-themed things, like a little fondue pot for two, with those tiny skewers and the little tea light to keep things warm. I actually…

Low Carb Vegan Pecan Swirl Cookies

Low Carb Vegan Pecan Swirl Cookies

Oh, the weather outside is frightful! Okay, so, it’s not really frightful in the least bit. But, it is chilly out, and chilly weather always makes me want to bake thing, like cookies. I’ve always loved pinwheel cookies, which is irritating, as they are the most challenging cookies to make. They’re super delicate and require some finessing, but they are really pretty! I decided to ease my way into them this year by making some low carb vegan pecan swirl cookies. (more…)

Lofthouse Style Low Carb Vegan Sugar Cookies

Lofthouse Style Low Carb Vegan Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies are my favorite type of cookie (well, those and snickerdoodles), but as the name implies, they’re not all that keto friendly. So, I really wanted to come up with a low carb vegan sugar cookie that I could enjoy during the holidays. Now,…
