Keto Pumpkin Spice Cream-Cheese Muffins are one of my favorite fall keto desserts! Hope you enjoy!
Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Muffins Recipe
Ingredients
Muffin 2 cups almond flour 2 tsp aluminum free baking powder 1.5 tsp pumpkin pie spice ⅛ ginger ⅛ cinnamon 3 tbsp. grass fed butter 3 large eggs ½ cup Lakanto Monk Fruit keto sweetener (20% off using our code!!) Filling ¾ tsp vanilla 1 tbsp. heavy whipping cream 1 tbsp. butter
Directions: For the cream cheese filling:
Beat cream cheese with keto sweetener, heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.
For the muffins
Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees.
In a mixing bowl combine almond flour, baking soda, salt, and spices.
In another bowl, mix butter, sweetener, eggs and pumpkin until smooth.
Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Grease muffins tins or place paper liners in the tins if you have them.
Spoon the pumpkin mixture into the cups about 2/3 of the way up. Make a “well” in the mixture, pushing the mixture around the sides. A small spoon works great.
Place about a teaspoon of the cream cheese filling into your “well” in the muffin mixture. Top with more batter to cover the cream cheese mixture and smooth over if needed.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the top of the muffin is firm.
Remove from oven and enjoy the warmth of Thanksgiving in your mouth. Store in the refrigerator.
Summer is right around the corner and when I think of summer I think of picnicking with delicious keto sides! One of the things every southern summer cookout has as a staple is potato salad. It is a dish I have sorely missed!
When I was planning Easter dinner, the two things that came to mind were potato salad and ham.
I concocted this Keto Cauliflower “Potato” Salad at our Easter meal and I have to say it was so good I didn’t even miss the real thing! My husband even said this “Was my best side dish yet!” Play with the ingredients to suit your tastes. We are big mustard fans so we like a more mustardy keto potato salad. Just remember, you can always add more but you can’t take it away so add a bit at a time, taste test and keep going until you reach the desired yumminess.
INGREDIENTS:
1 large head of cauliflower
4-6 hard-boiled eggs chopped
8 slices of bacon cooked and crumbled
1 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
pink Himalayan salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste
4 tsp. yellow mustard
3/4-1 cup mayo to taste
1-2 tbsp dill relish
1/2 an onion diced
Optional:
sliced green onion/chives
1/2 tsp. onion powder
Directions:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Toss in chopped cauliflower (remove most of the stem) for 5-7 minutes until just tender. Careful not to overcook or the cauliflower will turn to mush.
While the cauliflower is boiling, cook about a half pound of bacon in a large skillet until crispy. Drain and let cool, then crumble into pieces.
Drain the cauliflower and set aside to cool while prepping the other ingredients. Place in the fridge if needing to serve soon after.
Peel and dice 4-6 hard boiled eggs, depending on preference.
Shred 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese and set aside.
Dice 1/2 an onion and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl place cauliflower and all other ingredients in and stir well to combine.
This recipe is versatile so if you are not a big onion fan, mustard fan, etc. you can change the quantity to your suit your taste. Chill, serve, and enjoy!

🍂It’s fall ya’ll!🍂
The temperature changed to cold here in CO pretty quickly. As soon as the seasons start to transition our minds go straight to fall goodies, one of those favorites being chili! We experimented with a couple different recipes settling on this one as a favorite so far.
Just a heads up, my husband really likes to spice up his chili so sometimes I will make a separate dish for the kiddos without so much spice to it. This recipe really had just the right amount of kick though. It can be made on the stovetop or in the crockpot give or take some of the ingredients depending on your preference.
Tips: If you are concerned about carb count, lower the amount of tomatoes and increase the amount of radishes- use half a can of tomatoes instead. Use more chicken or bone broth to give additional volume and a thinner base. This chili is the perfect warm and savory recipe for slipping into fall.
Ingredients
2 lbs. grass-fed beef
1 can tomato sauce (can also be found here on Vitacost) – tomato paste can also be used here, just look for no added sugars.
1 can diced Roma tomatoes
1- 4 oz can diced green chiles
1/2 white onion- diced
1 bundle organic radishes- washed and quartered
1/2 cup organic chicken broth
1/2 bundle sprigs of cilantro
Seasoning (add desired seasonings of choice- what we used is below)
2 tbsp Chili powder
1 tsp Pink Himalayan salt
1 1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp pink Himalayan Salt and Herb blend
2 tsp Mrs. Dash garlic and herb
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
Additional toppings as desired
shredded cheese
sliced avocado
sour cream
Directions 1. Brown the grass-fed beef and diced onions in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the beef and set aside.
2. On the stove top, use a large pot to add in all ingredients and seasoning. Add the beef last, to prevent sticking.
3. Cook on low-medium, stirring often for about an hour. Let simmer on low for 2-3 hours, the longer it cooks the more flavorful it will taste. If you are impatiently waiting, you can enjoy a bowl about an hour after cooking but for the best tasting chili wait it out.
