First Time Mom and Losing It

*I received the products below free for my review. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be a good fit for my readers. All opinions are 100% my own.


Being a part of the low carb community Sukrin Products kept coming up in all of the talks. I had never heard of the brand before so I went to their site to see what they had. I was so pleased to see all of the low carb and natural sweeteners they had in stock.


I love that they have different sweeteners for different tastes. The Sukrin: 1 is erythritol mixed with a little bit of stevia. It measures one to one with regular sugar so it's easy to replace it in any recipe or even in your morning coffee. I loved using the Sukrin: 1 in my chocolate mug cake for a sweet treat at the end of the day. I also used some of the Sukrin Melis (like powdered sugar) to make my mug cake look pretty and for an extra dusting of sweetness.

Everytime I see one of those viral recipes on Facebook I start thinking about ways to keto-ize it. When I saw the Sesame Wings from Tastemade I knew the Fiber Syrup Gold would be the perfect substitute for the honey in the recipe.



Keto Sesame Wings

• 10 chicken wings cut into wingettes and drumettes
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper
• 1 tblsp. baking powder
• 2 tblsp. sesame oil
• 1 tsp. chopped garlic (1 clove garlic)
• 1 tblsp. Braggs Liquid Aminos (you can substitute soy sauce or coconut aminos)
• 3 tblsp. Sukrin Fiber Gold
• 1 tblsp Sukrin Gold
• 1 tblsp. sesame seeds

Step 1: Sprinkle the salt, pepper and baking powder on top of the chicken wings. Mix well. Place on a lined baking sheet and bake in the oven on 400 for 20 minutes. Turn the wings and bake for another 20 minutes.

Step 2: While the wings are baking mix the remaining ingredients (except for the sesame seeds) in a saucepan. Cook until it starts to boil and then lower the heat and cook for 10 minutes. Make sure to constantly stir so the bottom doesn't burn.

Step 3: Place sauce in a large bowl and top with the cooked wings. Carefully toss to fully coat the wings. Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top and toss to coat again.


I am having so much fun with the Sukrin products and have lots of ideas coming up with them. I will post them to social media when they are up. Surkin also offers Sugar Free chocolate, low carb bake mixes and nut flours. Right now Sukrin is offering free shipping on $75+ orders – and low flat-rate shipping on orders less than $75!

Wahoo Heart Rate Monitor - This is a bluetooth/wireless heart rate monitor that connects to your smartphone. I had one years ago that connected to a watch that you had to constantly look at. This one just connects to your smartphone and it tracks away. I love how the Wahoo HRM speaks to you so you don't even have to look at the phone if you don't want to. This has definitely motivated me to work harder during my workouts.



Coco Polo Chocolate - I discovered the Coco Polo Chocolate bars at my local Fairway Market. They are sweetened with erythritol and stevia. Since erythritol is a sugar alcohol you can subtract the grams from the carbohydrate total. A serving is half of a bar but I find that one or two squares is enough to kill my chocolate craving. They have a lot of flavors but my favorite is the hazelnut milk chocolate.



FéFit Exercise - If you follow my instagram you see my daily posts showing my workouts on FéFit. I love this exercise program! It's like I have a personal trainer that plans everything for me to do. It's important to do strength training on Keto so I love that this program covers my whole body. I can't do all of the exercises yet so I love that they always have one of the girls doing a modified version of the harder ones. Looking forward to completing the 90-Day program.



Moon Cheese - These are delicious little nuggets of cheese that replace my chip craving. I love that the only ingredient is cheese. The Gouda and Pepper Jack flavor are 0g of carbs so it's the perfect keto snack. They are so rich and tasty that just one small serving satisfies you.


Amaretto Sugar Free Davinci Syrup - I look forward to my morning coffee when I get to put my sugar free Davinci syrups inside. My favorite is the Amaretto flavor because it reminds me of my favorite almond cake restaurant dessert.

I have been on a Keto Diet for 16 weeks now and I have followed it easily and without cheats. When I first researched the Keto Diet I was really doubting myself on if I could do it or not. I am a huge sweets person so I thought I would miss my desserts too much. In preparing myself for this way of eating I researched and tried keto recipes and these are my favorites.

Low Carb No-Bake Cheesecake: This is the first dessert I created and enjoyed when I started the Keto Diet. It is so easy to make and so fast. There were a lot of times that my husband and I wanted something sweet to end the day and these were so easy to whip up. It tastes like cheesecake and the nut crumble at the bottom makes the perfect crust.


Low Carb Vanilla Coconut Milk "Shake": This shake is so thick and creamy and satisfying. The thick coconut milk in a can is the key to this milk shake and you won't even miss the ice cream. It's so quick and easy to whip up in the blender and it's so fun to drink with a cute straw.


Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Bombs: We always have a batch of these in the freezer. These are also easy and quick to make. Fat bombs are perfect when you need to eat some more fat at the end of the day and don't have room from extra protein or carbs. I use sunbutter instead of peanut or almond butter to help cut the carbs a little more. These freeze really well and melt in your mouth when you eat them. They are so decadent that you only need one to satisfy your sweet tooth.


Low Carb Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake: I made this recipe for Thanksgiving and it was a big hit even with my non-keto family. The pecan crust was so much better than a regular graham cracker crust. The layers of pumpkin pie and cream cheese were so decadent and filling. I cut the cheesecake into 16 pieces and even though the slice looked small the flavor and richness really satisfied me the way a big piece of carb loaded pie would.


Keto Puppy Chow: This may sound a little weird when you find out that the main ingredient is pork rinds but it really does work. The pork rinds are coated with peanut butter and chocolate so you really forget you are eating pork rinds. It is so easy and fast to make and it's a yummy snack that is fun to eat.
