I've been in love with baking since I was 8 years old. I took a homemade bread course through my local 4H club and have been baking bread ever since. I've also had an issue with being overweight since my teenage years. In 2013 I was morbidly obese at 5'3” and 350 pounds, and I was tired of feeling like crap and watching life pass me by. I started eating a Low Carbohydrate/High Fat diet, and since then have slowly dropped 175 pounds of excess fat as of this writing. I feel great, and although I still have more to lose, it's still coming off slowly by tracking what I eat and staying within what works for my body.

But...I wasn't able to bake anymore. Or, worse yet, I'd try the Keto baking recipes and they wouldn't turn out like the “real thing”. I couldn't give my Keto baking to anyone who wasn't also eating Keto, because the end result was so different from the original. My kids were suspicious of everything I made. I had to try to find a way to get the end results I wanted from my baked goods and keep them low in carbohydrates.

I started to tinker with new flours and sweeteners in my kitchen, developing recipes that satisfied me and that my kids thought were tasty. Each recipe was tinkered with over time, in my own kitchen, to be the most like the original baked good that it could possibly be. Some, like the bread recipes, have changed a huge amount over the years, and took many loaves of bread made to get it to the point where I was satisfied with it.

Now that I have reliable, easy to make recipes that are as close as the original as I can get, I want to share these recipes with everyone who misses good bread, cookies, cakes, and other baked goods
