When you think of muffins you generally reminisce on the overly sweet, sugar-laden pastries you can buy in the coffee shop. You don't usually see yourself eating a savory muffin, especially one that's stuffed full of avocado and bacon. Especially not me. I never used to be much of a fan of avocados growing up (even though I had a tree), but recently found a new love for them - and can't seem to get enough of them anymore. These keto muffins are absolutely awesome. You know when you wake up a ...

I've always been a fan of grilled cheese sandwiches, and this takes the cake for being one of the best I've had.

No matter what course you serve it as, your guest will be super impressed with what you were able to accomplish. This is a common rarity among foodies, and is always enjoyed by everyone I serve them to. You can use other fruits in this if you're not ...

It's almost like a protein bar for us keto-ers that seem to have little to no time in the morning. Grab a slice or two, a slab of butter, and walk out the door while chomping on bliss! It's very dense, so that ...
