Since April we've been on the low carb diet/lifestyle.
And I've got some nice recipes, product recommendations, and hacks... anyone else want to share theirs?
My best product recommendation is: Choc Zero Bark in Dark or Milk Chocolate https://www.amazon.com/ChocZeros-Ch...UTF8&qid=1548988350&sr=1-5&keywords=keto+bark Tastes just like real chocolate. Very low carb.
Low Carb Recipe for Almond Shortbread Cookies:
Makes 2 dozen 2 ½-inch cookies
Ingredients:
8 Tbsp Butter, softened
Zest of One Orange and/or (your call) 1 ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
¼ teaspoon sea salt
½ cup granular Sugar Free Sweetener (I used Swerve confectioner’s style)
2 cups Almond Flour Blanched and Fine
Directions:
In a medium bowl, cream together butter, vanilla or zest, salt and sweetener. Add almond flour and mix until dough forms.
To make cookies:
Scoop the mound of dough into the center of a sheet of plastic wrap, wax paper, or parchment paper. Using your hands, roll dough into an approximate 2-inch diameter cylindrical log; wrap and refrigerate dough until chilled and firm, about 1 hour (the dough can also be made ahead of time and refrigerated for several days).

When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease or line a USA Pan baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice chilled dough into approximate 1/3-inch thick slices and place on baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool on pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling (cookies firm up as they cool).
To make a tart or pie crust:
No need to pre-chill, just press dough into tart or pie tins. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees (F) for 15 mins until firm and golden brown.
Hack: Costco Premier Protien Shakes in Chocolate, Vanilla, and Carmel. Low carb, high protien and filling for when you need a quick meal or to take the edge off.
