Keto Product delays...

 Well another month or so has gone by and I realize I have not posted a single post to the blog. First it was our stove. Having to wait almost a month for it to be replaced was not an easy feat. Microwaves are great for reheating, but for making a conventional lunch or dinner it has left much to the imagination, as well as to the palate...

Then switching to keto along side my GF lifestyle has added much extra time to my day as I begin this new journey. It has been quite an adjustment to not only myself but to my husband as well. It means using new flours and flour mixtures to try as well as adjusting to new foods such as cereals and breads and crackers, which can no longer incorporate many of the GF flours I have been using for years because of the high carbs. Mixtures of which I am still trying out in recipes before posting on the blog as I want them to be worthy of your trying.

Then came the kitchen remodel...yes, I know.. it seems like its always something! With the remodel now just being completed I hopefully will be able to get back on track trying out new recipes beginning this week, and to start posting again by the end of the month.

I appreciate your patience as my readers and promise to try and get started posting again as soon as possible! Until then I hope you have a blessed day! Be posting soon!

In Christ,

90 Second Keto Low Carb Microwave Bread

 

If you are like me and are new to keto there are so many breads out there with ingredients like flaxseed (of which I am not a fan) Psyllium husk powder, chia seeds, and oat fiber, that you wonder "Do they even taste like bread?" Just like many gluten free loaves I have tried over the years, several keto loaves have also gone in the garbage! Also, just like many of the GF loaves, the cost of most is more than I use to pay for a full meal at Mc Donald’s! Which we all know is not aloud now on our gluten free and keto diets.

Now enters a new, quick, money saving microwaveable bread. Its fluffy, tasty, and has the mouth feel of real bread, and all within 90 seconds, plus the easy assembly time. It has become my new go to recipe, especially on rushed days.

It tastes great with no sugar added peanut butter and sugar free jelly. Use as a bun for a fried egg sandwich. Excellent for a hamburger replacement when out of Keto buns. Spread with butter n sprinkle with a sugar free cinnamon mixture. Top with cream cheese n sliced cucumbers. The sky’s the limit! Its quick and easy, and really has that homemade bread feel and texture you are missing, without all the carbs! 

I hope you'll give it a try and let me know what you think.

Till next time,

Sharon
