OK, turns out liquid coconut oil tastes pretty good. That’s a relief! So I’ll be using it as anticipated for this week. I got a blood test this morning to cap off the week of macadamia nut oil. Unlike previous weeks, there were few people there and no hint of civil unrest =)
Last night I discovered I was late to a Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet for my youngest son. It was nice to simply grab the final blender bottle of macadamia Keto Chow and run. They had taco salad and nachos, I could have done keto with the food there but didn’t need to as I was packing my own =)
In unrelated news, this morning there was a facebook post by a bakery a few minutes South of here:
KETO in the BAKERY! As promised, today we feature Lemon Curd Cheesecake Trifle and Chocolate Salted Caramel Cheesecake. Sugar free, less than 4 net carbs. Naturally gluten free. We will launch new products every week if demand is high. It’s up to you people!! Spread the word! #keto #ketobaker #glutenfree #sugarfree #ketorocks #healthylife #lehibakery #sugarhighconfections
I talked to the owner of the bakery (who is on a keto diet). They currently do the lemon curd trifle and salted caramel cheesecake and will be coming out with cookies and cupcakes soon. The sweetener used is Truvia (Erythritol). “The cheesecake is simply cream cheese, heavy cream and Truvia. The almond short crust is almond flour and butter with a bit a sea salt. The lemon curd is lemon juice, egg yolks and Truvia. The caramel sauce is just caramelized Truvia” 4 net carbs for the lemon, 2 for the cheesecake. I won’t be eating any of it anytime soon but my kids are going to love it!
