Last week I talked about Jeff's experimentation with batters when frying onions and cheese sticks.  This week he decided to make keto "potstickers" since we both really miss Asian dumplings.  To do this, he simply made the filling for his normal dumplings then battered and deep fried it with pork rinds.  Read on to see how he did it.

I discovered something magical on the keto recipes section of reddit: pumpkin smoothies!  I finally got around to making them this weekend and oh my were they good.  If you're in a pumpkin-y mood like me, I suggest giving them a try.

Here I go with another post about "I miss ____ since I started keto" and this time it's all about chai lattes! I used to drink one every day and am honestly doing fine without them, but I wish I could have one once in a while.

Sometimes I think the older I get the more my tastes change. I'm not a fan of spicy food, but Jeff has slowly introduced me to more and more of it that I like. His most recent introduction is homemade jalapeno poppers. I'm happy to say my taste buds are in love with them(as long as they're not burning off).

Since I started keto, I've been a little nervous when we go out to eat. It was hard enough to find something to eat before(picky eater here), but now it's even worse since I can't eat bread, pasta, or rice! We recently went to a local Italian restaurant which offers a low carb menu. I was surprised when I found a bowl pizza. It's literally what it sounds like... pizza in a bowl without the carby crust. I decided to try it because, hey, who doesn't like a big bowl of cheese and pepperoni? It wasn't as pretty as normal pizza when it arrived, but it definitely fixed my longing for it.

Thank goodness for all the keto forums over on reddit.  Jeffrey discovered a substitute for grilled cheese:  fried queso fresco.  It's super easy to make and is just what a cheese lover like me craves!
