Banana Nut Bread with Chocolate Swirls

Mmmmm, doesn't that just look scrumptious!?!?!? It was freshly baked and right out of the oven. It smelled sooooooooo GOOD!!!!

I really wanted chocolate in it, but I didn't want chocolate chips so I took a small handful of semisweet chocolate chips and melted it with a pat of butter in the microwave. I then poured it into the batter and tried to fold it in. I didn't want to stir it in cuz then it'd be a chocolate batter when I really just wanted pretty swirls.

You can't really see the swirls sadly, but it was really awesome! It came out like this:

Sausages and Cauliflower mash

Sausages and cauliflower mash with rice.
Keto friendly - Sausages and cauliflower mash and kimchi and lots more cheese

This was another tasty and fingerlickin' awesome meal. Just looking at these pictures make me crave more of the beer cooked sausages and cauliflower mash. MM-mmmmmmmmmm. 

Cauliflower mash recipe:
Take a head of cauliflower and remove the things you don't eat like the stems and leaves. Give it a rough chop and then boil until soft (about 5-7 minutes). Once the cauliflower is soft, drain the water from the pot. Season with salt and pepper and some cheddar cheese. Let sit for a bit (maybe a minute) to let the cheese soften. Then take a meat pounder and mash the cauliflower. Super easy and super different from just plain ole cauliflower. Did I mention it is super yummy too?

Cream puff w/o the puff

Have you ever eaten a cream puffs and decided that you could do without the puff? Well, we figured out how to make the insides of those delicious puffs!
All you need to do is whip up some heavy whipping cream until it has a whip cream texture.... but that takes a LOOOOOOOOOONG time if you don't have the right tools.

So we made do with what we had: a power tool!
Just whip it up for about a minute and it's done!
Don't forget to add confectioners sugar or splenda  for sweetness! It's such a great treat!!
Even better when frozen! Om nom nom nom

Cheesecakes

This one is the keto friendly cheesecake. Go here for the recipe and times the filling by 3 if you want a whole 9" cheesecake pie. I'd keep the crust recipe the same since hubster said it was kinda thick.

This one is plain cheesecake made with good ole white granulated sugar. Go here for the recipe. This one was smaller because I ran out of cream cheese from a 5lb tub we got at Smart and Final. I can't believe I actually bought a 5lb tub of cream cheese.... but the cheesecakes sure were delicious!

Here are some pictures of the cheesecakes:

Or if you don't bother with baking, you could just buy one... or two: New York Cheesecake, Set of 6 (Google Affiliate Ad)

Sausages n Broccoli

Cooking the sausages in some blue moon.

Sausages looking nice n plump. They were transferred onto a hot cast iron once the blue moon evaporated to be browned.

Then we saute'd the broccoli in bacon fat. Once softened, we added the bell peppers and cooked til lightly browned. I think we salted it lightly too (bacon fat is usually already salty).

Keto friendly dinner for the hubster.

Same as previous pix plus rice minus the cheese (ate one of the bacon slices) and has a blue moon in the background. 

Super delicious meal is all I can say.
