These cheesy almond flour low carb biscuits are the real deal. The last biscuit recipe you will ever need!

The perfect low carb biscuit

The most common feedback that I get about these low carb biscuits is that they "taste like the real deal." Bread, biscuits, muffins etc. are usually some of the things that people following a low carb, gluten free ketogenic lifestyle miss the most. Good low carb bread recipes can be hard to come by. It is so hard to mimic the texture of a perfectly executed bread recipe. But these almond flour cheesy biscuits will cure your biscuit craving in no time. They also make an awesome base for low carb biscuits and gravy. Unlike coconut flour biscuits, this almond flour biscuit recipe has a soft, mouth-watering texture inside, while being perfectly firm on the outside.

Here are some of my favorite dishes to serve with these Cheddar Jalapeno Bacon Biscuits:

#ad Lemon Poppyseed Cupcakes with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting. Remember those delicious cupcakes I made in my stories last week? Well the wait is over! Here is the recipe. I am so happy with how they turned out - fresh and light, with a vibrant lemon flavor all throughout. For the sweetener, I used the new @kingarthurbaking keto friendly Baking Sugar Alternative. It is a 1:1 replacement for sugar, has 0 net carbs, & 0 calories. Best of all, it has zero aftertaste - which is a good thing because I used it in the cupcakes and the frosting. It is a blend of erythritol, monkfruit, & stevia. The combination of all three makes it the perfect sugar replacement, without the funky aftertaste or cooling effect that you might expect from any of of those on its own. I can't recommend it enough.

INGREDIENTS

CUPCAKES
1 cup King Arthur blanched almond flour
1/4 cup King Arthur coconut flour
1/4 cup King Arthur Baking Sugar Alternative
2 tbsp poppy seeds
2 tsp lemon zest
2 tsp baking powder
3 large eggs, separated
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 tbsp lemon juice

FROSTING
8 ozs cream cheese, softened
1 stick butter
3 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup King Arthur Baking Sugar Alternative

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 8 wells of a muffin tin with paper liners.

Add the almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, lemon zest, poppyseeds and baking powder to a mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.

In a third large mixing bowl, add the egg yolks, coconut milk, butter & lemon juice. Whisk to combine.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until well combined. Gently fold in the egg whites, being careful not to over mix or they will deflate.

Divide the mixture evenly between the prepared muffin liners.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown & you can insert a toothpick & have it come out clean.

Cool completely before frosting.

FROSTING

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and using a hand mixer, mix until well combined and smooth. Transfer to a pastry bag.

Just some carrot crunching from our neighborhood goat friend

Leavenworth, Wa is such a fun spot. It’s one of our favorite places to visit for both winter and summer activities. It’s a Bavarian themed village, full of quirky shops and a variety of restaurants, serving German food and beers. It’s set to the scenic backdrop of the Cascade mountains, giving you stunning views no matter the time of year you visit.

There is a ton of hiking close by, including my favorite hike I’ve ever done - The Enchantments. In the summer you can spend a day floating the river, and then pop into one of the many restaurants to refuel.

In October the town is packed with Oktoberfest celebrations. In December and January, you can come for the tree lighting festival and the ice festival. The Village of Lights display has over half a million lights. (Check out my stories tonight to see them)

Normally the tree lighting festival is held three separate weekends in December and to find lodging, you need to book a year in advance. But this year, due to covid, they are keeping the lights on every night between Thanksgiving and Valentines Day. We were even able to find a last minute rental very close to downtown.

Best of all, the town isn’t very busy compared to normal and every person we’ve seen has been following mask protocols. But to be honest, we’ve just been in our Airbnb the whole time anyway. Just the getaway we needed.

The view from our AirBnB in Leavenworth. A much needed road trip in our own state.

This messy plate of food was our dinner on New Years Eve. I made shrimp and mushrooms with a pesto sauce, top sirloin (I shared my steak with my sis) and I whipped up a cauliflower rice dish that I definitely need to make again and write down so I can put it up on the blog. I made it with cauliflower rice, chopped broccoli, prosciutto, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, chicken stock, heavy cream, sharp cheddar and Parmesan. It was SO DAMN GOOD. It reminded me of those boxed cheesy rice mixtures I used to love as a kid.

As we head deep into the season of "New Year, New You" posts, I wanted to take a moment to remind you that your worth is not defined by the amount of physical space you take up in this world. Health and wellness are not synonymous with a smaller body size. There is a lot more to the equation.

Societal beauty standards would have you believe that in order to be accepted, worthy of love, valued, or taken seriously, that you must be a certain size or shape. Let this be the year that you don't subscribe to the ideals and beliefs of complete strangers... especially as it pertains to your body.

I can tell you that I have lived in a larger body most of my life and that some of my greatest heartaches and traumas revolve around comments that others have made about my body. But just as certainly, I can tell you that I have had some of my happiest moments, as well as my greatest sorrows at my largest size, smallest size, and every weight in between. Life happens no matter what size your body is. When I look back on it all now, I think of all the incredible ways my body has supported me in this life, despite the various ways I have punished it with poor life choices throughout the years. I don't think we spend enough time celebrating our bodies and the miraculous things they can do at all shapes and sizes.

It took me far too long to learn that other peoples opinions of me are none of my business. In fact, it's a reminder that I still give myself every day. Let me say it again just so that it can truly sink in - OTHER PEOPLES OPINIONS OF YOU, ARE NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!

Lastly, please remember that you cannot hate yourself healthy. So as you set out into this new year, with your goal list in hand, my wish for you would be that you tackle it with grace, love, and self-acceptance. If weight loss is a goal for you this year, let the first weight you shed be the weight of the opinions of others.

Sending you lots of love and light on this first day of a new year.

Lunch! This is one of my favorite quick and easy meals to throw together for lunch (especially when I am doing a Whole30) - ground beef, coconut aminos, salt, pepper, garlic, onion, broccoli and mushrooms. YUM!

Speaking of Whole30, are any of you doing one in January? I am, but I am starting late because we are road tripping for a little 4 day getaway in Leavenworth and I want to enjoy my time, without worrying about food limitations. I’ll be starting on January 8th.
