Lastly, bacon cheeseburger soup. I'm probably going to have to make another batch of this to see me through the week because it's also dinner tonight, but man did it go together quick. I had to fudge on the spices a little because I couldn't find a few things, but it turned out great. Pretty salty, though, so be prepared for that. https://www.isavea2z.com/easy-bacon-cheeseburger-soup-keto-friendly-recipe/ #keto #baconcheeseburgersoup #isavea2z #yummy #foodprep

So, sometimes you just want something snacky available, just in case. I've never been a big potato chip person, but I'm pretty dangerous around tortilla chips and queso. Fortunately, mission makes low carb tortillas in three sizes: 3c per tortilla, 4c, and 6c. I usually get the 4c for tacos and burritos and the 3c for these. They're really easy. Time consuming, but easy. Cut each tortilla into 8 triangles, arrange on cookie sheet, spray with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt, bake at 350° for 7 minutes, turn over and spray and salt the other side, bake for another 5 minutes. Serve with your favorite low carb salsa or queso. This would be great for any snacky event you have coming up like, oh, that big sportsball thing people get all excited about and have parties for. #keto #tortillachips #missiontortillas #yummy #foodprep

So, I've made these scones in their blueberry/original recipe incarnation already, but I found low carb chocolate chips so this was my instant "yes!" Ill probably try keto chocolate chip cookies in the near future, though. https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/glazed-blueberry-scones/ #keto #chocolatechipscones #wholesomeyum #paschasbakingchips #foodprep #yummy

Lunch for this week: pigs in a blanket and smashed Brussels sprouts. Piggies were easy: wrap little smokies in stromboli mozzarella dough (link below) and I made them in a little cooker made specifically to cook pigs in a blanket that my aunt has. Smashed Brussels sprouts have a bit of a story with them: they've always been on my eeeeew list. You know the one. The foods you refuse to eat because yuck. Well, a couple of months ago my family and I had lunch with an aunt and uncle that are also keto (hi guys!). They ordered these grilled Brussels sprouts that were seriously good. I was shocked. So, when I saw this delish recipe on Facebook I wanted to try it. They're really good. I don't know how well they'll reheat, but since they're part of my lunch this week I'll find out. http://www.uplateanyway.com/keto/stromboli/ http://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/recipes/a57237/smashed-brussels-sprouts-recipe/ #keto #smashedbrusselssprouts #pigsinablanket #delish #uplateanyway #foodprep #yumyumyum

Lex got his first grooming today. He did well except he didn't like getting his nails done. #lexthetank #puppiesofinstagram #petcogrooming

First grooming of the new year ands she gets a pretty little bow! Which will likely disappear as soon as she can get her brother to rough house with her to get it off. #puppyprincesstobi #puppiesofinstagram #petcogrooming

Looks like I'm in trouble for traumatizing his grand-puppy with a bath. #puppyprincesstobi

Better than sweet potato casserole. I made this for my department thanksgiving lunch, using them as ginuea pigs before I make it for the real holiday. (It should be said that none of them mind. I think they look forward to it at this point.) Comments include: - Really good - Tastes like the real thing - I'm going to make this and take it to my mom's and not tell anyone - Can I have the recipe? So, I'd call that a winner. Especially since no one really touched the traditional casserole I made as well. https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/pecan-roasted-better-than-sweet-potato-casserole-low-carb-paleo/ #keto #lowcarb #thanksgiving #betterthansweetpotatocasserole #wholesomeyum #yumyumyum

Have I mentioned that I love cookies? This week is cinnamon butter cookies. They smell amazing. Pardon me. It's cookie time. I'll be back with you later. https://ketosizeme.com/keto-cinnamon-butter-cookies-recipe/ #keto #cinnamonbuttercookies #cookies #yumyumyum

It's been a long, exciting day between costume contests, dog park adventures, and a puppy spa day. Good night, moon. #puppyprincesstobi #puppiesofinstagram

Ok, for everyone that swears my dog always looks sad, I present to you photographic proof that she can indeed smile. She's really a happy and spoiled little girl, she just has a bad case of "Resting Sad Face." #puppyprincesstobi #puppiesofinstagram #tailsandtrailsdogpark

#puppyprincesstobi seriously needs to up her costume game next year. #lexthetank took third at the #grandviewparks #howl-o-ween at the #tailsandtrails dog park and she didn't place. Congrats to Lex! And thanks to #whiskeredwalks for the prize bag.

Well, I was going to go heat up some dinner... #puppiesofinstagram #puppyprincesstobi #lexthetank

Extra food stuff because I had a craving. I made nothing sweet this week that I could actually consume to handle any sweet cravings that pop up. The pie I made yesterday for the lodge pretty much disappeared like it was magically conjured away. So, that's a plus. But, it left me without anything sweet. Fortunately, I'm good at using Pinterest to get what I want. 3 ingredient peanut butter cookies, keto friendly. Since I'm lazy as well as hungry, this was perfect. And they smell amazing! Can't wait to try one. https://www.isavea2z.com/3-ingredient-keto-peanut-butter-cookies-recipe/ #keto #3ingredientbaking #peanutbuttercookies #yumyumyum
