Definitely agree.
I use a lot of almond flour, pecan flour, and a little coconut flour. I keep my cabinets stocked with monk fruit in classic, "brown sugar", and "powdered"
I keep the refrigerator stocked with heavy cream, butter, and cream cheese.
I also keep frozen cauliflower "rice" and "mashed potato" for sides.
It helps a lot to know that we can still eat sweets and faux potatoes and rice.

I think the monk fruit will suprise you. It is the only alternative sweetener that I like. It's about $25 for 3lbs on the Walmart and the Amazon site, for the Lakanto brand. The brown and powdered forms are a little more, but worth it, in my opinion. Swerve is really good too.

Good luck to hubs, I hope it works out for him.

I can’t do all that fat and meat either so I got a sous vide machine to try. The extra fat isn’t always necessary, and I feel a little better about cooking with oil at a lower temp.

Thank you both very much, this is all new to me so the tips/info are appreciated!

Good to know about the Swerve, I was afraid to try it because of the taste factor. Thanks Janie!

I have cauliflower rice in the freezer, but I’m not really a rice fan so that’s not a hardship for me. I haven’t totally given up potatoes but I limit how often I eat them and stick to half with the skin and baked only.

I keep a lot of the veggies that come in steam bags, particularly things hubs won’t eat like Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and broccoli.
 
I love the whisp 100% cheese crackers too (esp the asaigio cheese) but they are expensive for what you get. I often just cook cheese on parchment paper and use it for wraps and pizza crust.

That does not sound like a good thing :gig (maybe more of a dangerous thing)

The frozen cheesecake ones are great, but only if you are full on keto.

Would you mind explaining this in more detail Janie? Do you just grate and bake? How do you then use it for pizza crust?
