Easy, Cheesy Lightened Up Bean Dip

Are you a football fan?
Unaesthetic bean dip is so tasty!

Yeah, me neither. But I do like game-day snacks! When I was little, going to Superbowl parties was so exciting for me because I loved the food! Most of the time, I didn't even watch the game at all!

One staple snack is bean dip! No one will be able to tell this version is lightened up and it's super easy to put together. Make this the next time you need a game day snack to share (or not!).

Ingredients

  • 150g plain greek yogurt
  • 2 tsp taco seasoning
  • 1/2 medium avocado, smashed
  • lime juice
  • 1 cup fat free refried beans
  • 1/3 cup chopped grape tomatoes
  • optional: cheddar cheese for sprinkling on top 
  • optional: sliced black olives
  • salt 

Directions:

  1. Combine the smashed avocado with a squeeze of lime juice and salt. Set aside. 
  2. In a small casserole dish or 2 medium ramekins, spread the refried beans in an even layer. 
  3. Spread the avocado mixture evenly over the beans.
  4. Combine the taco seasoning and greek yogurt. Make sure it is thoroughly combined. Spread the greek yogurt mixture evenly over the avocado. 
  5. Finally top with chopped tomatoes and options to add cheese and olives.

Gut Healthy Gummy Bears! Keto Friendly

Image
Team Sour or Team Sweet? I'm team sour all the way! These gummies are surprisingly easy to make if you have a gummy bear mold (they're very inexpensive on amazon!) and they have the gut-health benefits of prebiotic fiber and gelatin! First they're sour, then they're sweet. Ingredients: 40g VitaFiber IMO syrup  1 tbsp gelatin liquid stevia to taste (I used orange stevia) 1/2 cup water Directions: Heat the mixture on the stove until bubbling.  Use the dropper to fill the gummy bear molds.  Place in fridge until set.  Just before eating, toss the gummy bears in a mixture of citric acid powder, and granulated sweetener of choice (I used a monk fruit/erythritol blend).  Voila! Sour gummies!

Keto Meringues! Sugar Free!

Image
I recently had the idea to make Meringue cookies and my curiosity was piqued at the idea of making sugar free meringue cookies. I wondered if it would work!  3 calories a piece?! I'll take 10!  I took to Google, and to my surprise there were recipes with Splenda, erythritol, stevia and beyond! I decided to try my hand at sugar free meringues with an erythritol based sweetener I just purchased recently. The brand is Swerve and I purchased it from Luckyvitamin.com. It claims to have no aftertaste! Meringues can be a bit tricky to set up due to humidity and given that it was a hot August day in North Carolina, I think they turned out pretty well! The texture was good on most of them but a few of them were still a bit soft in the middle.  Factors working against me: I didn't have enough egg whites I didn't have cream of tartar I was attempting sugar free I didn't have parchment paper Humidity You may be thinking, why even bother? Well, I don...
