Cookies! Keto friendly and oh so yummy!

Image
Yes! You can eat delicious food and baked goods while eating a keto lifestyle!  I have tried many different recipes for cookies that work for keto, and so far these are the only ones that were REALLY GOOD! Here is the recipe I used. I really enjoy the sugar free chocolate chips from Lily's.  I'm including a link from Amazon , but you can find them most everywhere and it looks like Amazon is not a good source right now.  They are more expensive than regualr baking chips, but not too much more.  Maybe a couple dollars normally.  I did half milk chocolate and half dark chocolate.

Chicken with broccoli and Alfredo (keto)

 You can’t go wrong with this recipe! It’s not even a recipe really, more just a way to throw good ingredients together to make great, healthy food! Boneless Chicken breast (pound to same thickness, cut into tenders) Or boneless chicken tenders  Salt, pepper, favorite chicken seasoning Broccoli (cut in pieces) Parmesan shredded cheese Butter Minced garlic Heavy cream I LOVE making this all on the outside Camp Chef flat griddle. It’s so easy and quick. And of course, I can’t live without my cast iron skillets. I have three, I’ll do a post here soon on those.  Season your chicken and throw them on the griddle to start cooking. Next put your broccoli on the other side of the griddle. Squirt some water on the broccoli and cover with a dome lid to let it steam. Once your chicken is cooked on one side, turn it over, check on your broccoli, mixing it up, maybe add a bit more water and recover to continue steaming.  After you flip your chicken over, now it’s time to start th...
