Friday Finds!

It's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday!

If Rebecca Black is in your head now, I apologize. But the good news is, it's Friday!

Some of my recent finds:
  • Cauliflour Foods Pizza Crust
The concept of a cauliflower crust for a pizza has been around for a while now but I had never actually tried it. It seemed like too much work for a sad excuse of a pizza. However, I had a discount to use on Cauliflour foods and I had heard good reviews so I gave it a go! The crust is comprised of just four simple ingredients, 8g carbs and 180 calories for the whole crust. I went classic and topped mine with hearty pizza sauce, fresh mozzarella and basil. It was really good! I found that the toppings were a bit heavy for the center of the crust but I was able to eat it pretty much mess free. It obviously didn't taste like ordinary pizza crust but a nice alternative especially if you follow a gluten free or low carb lifestyle.Check them out here: https://www.califlourfoods.com/



  • Mary Ruth's Organic Moisturizing Oil 
There are some things that are just a little frightening to rub on your body. Mary Ruth's Organic moisturizing oil is not one of them. This oil is good for your body, hair, nails, etc. It is cruelty free, non-GMO, vegan, etc. etc. Not only that but it makes me feel so good putting it on after a shower. My skin feels soft and moisturized. I have been scarcely applying it to my hair because I'm wary of causing my hair to be oily but I imagine it would be good to apply before I shower.

  • Good Day Chocolates
Time to take my supplements...ughh, right? Wrong! Good Day Chocolates makes fair-trade chocoalate candies with benefits! Take your pick from Turmeric, Probiotic, Energy, Calm, Sleep and more. I haven't actually tried them yet but I did obtain them! I can't wait to try them as I take several of these supplements as needed in boring pill form. I would love to supplement with chocolate! Check them out here: gooddaychocolate.com or at Whole Foods!

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...
