Default Judy's SF Caramels

These things are dangerous but SOOOO good. They come in about 6 flavors: vanilla, chocolate, triple treat (vanilla, marshmallow, chocolate), rocky road (chocolate with nuts and marshmallow), vanilla almond, and vanilla pecan. They are twice the size of a regular caramel and come in at about 1 carb (not including the maltilol) and 60 calories per candy.

They are made with real butter and cream. I like the ones without nuts the best, but that's just me. I honestly think these are better than a regular Kraft caramel. They come 8 to a bag and are available at Low-Carb Connossieur (sp?) and other low-carb shops (but not netrition) on-line. Would make a good Christmas nibble or gift.

I have also tried Judy's SF peanut brittle and coconut-almond brittle. They are not quite up to the sugary variety IMO but are also quite good.

Thumbs up Keto Cinnamon Raisin Bread Machine Mix

I tried this bread mix yesterday for the first time. It is great!

I added one extra teaspoon of yeast, but not sure if it really made a difference as I've never made it before without the extra yeast. It doesn't rise quite as high as it should, but not a little lump of bread either.

It does taste soyish, but I think I've gotten used to the taste of soy since starting this way of eating. If you don't like soy, you won't like this. But I tell you, I bought a toaster yesterday just so I could have a nice piece of cinnamon raisin toast for my breakie.

Also, I don't know if it's just me, but one thin slice seems to do it. It's not like after having a bit I want more (like a chip, or real bread)...one peice, smothered with butter is plenty.

Yay for Cinnamon Raisin Bread!!!

Actual reviews are really appreciated here.

The Keto Spaghetti is just released in the US this month. Canadian retailers are a little behind the ball in getting access to it but we're working on it.

I'll test-drive it and report back here as soon as I can get my mitts on it.

We bought some of the KETO brand new spaghetti last night and are going to try it for dinner tonight. I'll let you all know our experience with it tomorrow. (I'm hopeful - the folks at Low Carb Luxury Newsletter gave it rave reviews....but I'm still a little skeptical I guess.)

Default Keto Spaghetti

I wanted to say that I just ate the Keto Spaghetti for dinner, and LOVED it! What I noticed right away was that it smelled like regular pasta while it was cooking. Then when it was done I tried it without sauce, and I didn't notice any difference in taste or texture. It looks darker than regular - more like wheat than white. I added about 2 tbs. of alfredo sauce, and it was great! I honestly can say I didn't notice a difference.

If you are craving pasta you might wanna give it a try...

Thanks for listening!
Meg

Default New KETO Spaghetti

We also tried the new KETO spaghetti and loved it. It is very close to the real thing. We hadn't had spaghetti in 8 months! It also reheats well. (Doesn't get all soggy) We put leftovers (yes there are leftovers even from a 8 oz package.... it's very filling...you don't pig out as I feared we might) in plastic container with auce and it was delicious for lunch the next day. I'd recommend it.

We're thinking that it would make great baked pata and cheese...would give us good Chinese possibilities as well....sort of a lo mein thing with low carb veg and meat.

Anyway all we can say is Way To Go KETO!

Default what lowcarb products have you tried

Hi,
I am getting ready to place an order for some lowcarb things and would like some ideas on what you like and don't. I would like to order basic cooking items,like ketcup,,bbq sauce etc.

Any input would be appreciated. The lower carb the better

Hi Martha,
If yu browse some websites like netrition and carbsmart and locarb diner you will find tons of good lowcarb products to choose from. All 3 companies are reputable and have reasonable prices. Hope this helps.....

Thumbs up Keto Spaghetti

I just tried the new Keto spaghetti. Like the other posters, I loved it! It's very filling and tasted like regular spaghetti. I'm ordering order right away.
