Friday Finds!

Another Friday and another round of Friday Finds!


The Girl On The Train (US cover 2015).png
from Wikipedia.com
Girl on the Train - I've been trying to read more lately and some books are almost a grind to get through. This book was captivating from the start. It's a page turner that I could not put down. If you like psychological thrillers, I would recommend this book!

Heka Good Keto Bars - There's a new bar in town and it's supposed to be good, heka good! These bars looked and sounded great and with just one gram net carb, it seemed too good to be true. I tried the peanut butter chocolate chip bar. It tasted good, not overly sweet. It had a Quest-bar ish texture but slightly more sticky. I think these would be a good option for someone on the keto diet but probably will not be a regular for me personally. Check them out here: https://hekagoodfoods.com/


Paris Café Single Wick Candle - Bath And Body Works
from bathandbodyworks.co
Paris Café Candle from Bath and Body Works - I love candles. I just adore them. For some reason, in fall and winter, I love them even more. It's not often I share a specific candle I love on the blog but this scent will instantly transport you to a Parisian café (not that I've been to one lol). It creates an ambience that is irresistible. While you're candle shopping, you can smell all the pumpkin and leaves and harvest candles your heart desires. It's candle szn.

Bowmar Nutrition Frosted Animal Cookie Cashew Butter - I had my eye on this fun nut butter for a while and I finally had the chance to try it. I already love cashew butter so the nutty base was already a win. It tasted sweet and had a nice thick, yet drizzleable texture. The macros are higher in protein and lower in calories than your average nut butter so it's a good option for people who track macros plus it just tastes good!

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...
