No need to avoid eggnog this Christmas season just because you are avoiding sugar! I LOVE eggnog, or as we call it in the south, boiled custard. This recipe is easy to make and will even have the most enthusiastic eggnog connoisseur asking for the recipe! Staying low carb during the holidays is not always easy but it is totally possible! This yummy nog is sugar free and full of flavor!

Stop right there!! Put down the can opener and slowly back away from the sugar filled (basically candy) canned cranberry sauce!!! I know it’s so easy to just open the can and put it on a plate. I mean it has the little ridges in it to make it easy to cut and everything. DON’T DO IT! I am here to tell you that the cranberry sauce is the easiest dish you will make during the holidays! It takes 10 minutes…maybe 5! AND… IT’S JUST AS EASY TO MAKE SUGAR FREE!!! It takes 3 ingredients and a pot.

Creme Brûlée is MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE DESSERT! Now there is no reason to give it up! A dessert that is usually filled with sugar can now be 100% KETO! This keto creme brûlée is amazing and in a taste test with a classic creme brûlée you cannot tell a difference.

FALL IS HERE!!! Well, kind of. Right now in Tennessee it’s 97 degrees! WHAT? It’s October! Where is the cool air? Cool air or not I know it’s on it’s way and lately I have been trying out recipes for the holidays. This apple crisp is the first one I just had to make! I LOVE A GOOD APPLE CRISP!

It’s summer time! The lightening bugs are out. The 4th of July is right around the corner, and that means HOMEMADE ICE CREAM!! I remember my mom making ice cream all the time when I was growing up. The sound of the ice cream churning was almost more than we could handle! She would shout, “stay in or out,” as we would run through the door, check the status of the ice cream and then back out into the yard squealing with excitement.

Artichokes are one of my top 5 favorite foods to eat! There is not much better than a steaming hot artichoke dripping with lemon butter. They have been one of my favorites since I was a little kid. I am so fortunate that my mom always made us try everything and never made a different kid meal from what the adults ate. I really think this early introduction to food variety stretched my kid-size food comfort zone in a good way.
