What Do We Mean By “Healthy?”
Our recipes focus on real ingredients and homemade elements. We try to avoid processed flour and sugar, like white flour or white sugar. Our recipes often swap less healthy options (like a commercial, deep-fried tostada) for an easy homemade version.
Our recipes are not necessarily low fat or low calorie, and we aren’t afraid of fat or carbs! Some of our recipes will be “skinny,” low carb, keto, paleo, dairy free, grain free, gluten free, Whole30, or vegan, and they will be labeled when they qualify for any of these diets. All our recipes are easy and family friendly!

Not bad for Keto. Def didn’t feel like it spiked my blood sugar and it wasn’t too heavy.
That’s awesome! Cheryl’s sister made this every night while she was pregnant to avoid blood sugar spikes while still curbing her sweet tooth. She still makes it even though she’s had the baby!
