This is one of those "normal" recipes where I make a few substitutions to make it more low carb or keto friendly. I'm giving you the original recipe in it's entirety so you can choose what you'd like to make.

It was last call for Girl Scout Cookies this weekend from what I was told. They are delicious but not a healthy choice. Here's a little something to help with the cravings.

Making your own granola is so much healthier than buying it. And you can customize it to your taste preferences. Have fun with this one!

Did you know you can put pepperoni slices in the microwave for 1-3 min and have amazing chips! I've done this numerous times. Each time I am amazed at how good they are!

I love animated movies. They for the most part they are kid friendly and allow me to escape for awhile and keep my mind clean at the same time. Ratatouille is a favorite movie of mine. If you haven't seen it then put it on the calendar because it's definitely worth it! Besides, it will give you a little background on this wonderful dish.

I am hoping that by the time you read this that the sun is shinning and that we here in the South are beginning to dry out. As I type this though we are staring at three more rain soaked days after an incredibly wet season already. Things are saturated and several areas in the Southeast are already flooding. It's cold and miserable. I'm in the mood for soup.

I was planning meals for next week and ran across this recipe that I hadn't made in at least a year! I loved it but somehow it got lost in all the recipes. I'm bringing it back next week and thought I'd share it with you! Make a big batch and use it for several lunches or share it with a friend!

Fluffy Sugar Cookies
INGREDIENTS
3oz Full-Fat Cream Cheese
1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
2T Butter
½ cup Sweetener of your choice (sugar equivalent)
2 Egg Whites
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 cup Almond Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
INSTRUCTIONS
Make the dough as you would a regular Fathead dough: Melt the cream cheese and mozzarella cheese in a microwave-safe bowl, in 30-second intervals.
Mix well until thoroughly combined.
Working quickly, add the butter, sweetener, egg whites, vanilla, almond flour and baking powder to the melted cheeses.
Work the dough with your hands, combining the dry and wet ingredients until they are completely combined, with no pockets of cheese or almond flour.
Turn the dough out onto a silicone mat and roll into a cylinder. Wrap the dough in parchment paper and place it in the refrigerator overnight to chill.
Preheat the oven to 350. Cut the cylinder of dough into slices, place on a parchment lined baking sheet, and bake for 15-17 minutes.

This can go one of two ways. I like that in a recipe. LOL It can be low carb or go all the way to Keto with just a few changes. It's all up to you. If you'd like to have it more on the Keto side then omit the beans and corn.

My Nanny had an incredible garden. When I was growing up she would often make fried yellow squash. It was so good with that cornmeal crust. And sometimes she would put yellow squash in a pot with cheddar cheese and onions. Oh, gosh it was good.
