The Best Alfredo Sauce EVER!

Here's some New Years Motivation for 2022... Let's make our food taste good, shall we?! 

Because when our food tastes good, we stick to our plan, and when we stick to our plan we get results, and when we get results we stick to our plan, and then... we REACH OUR GOALS! Woo hoo!

This recipe is just amazing. Tastes like a 5 star restaurant but in reality you can whip this up in minutes using minimal ingredients that you provably already have on hand.

Keto Alfredo Sauce- Makes 4 servings

3 Tbsp butter
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/8 tsp dried oregano
2 cups heavy cream
3/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp pepper
juice of 1/2 a lemon

In a medium sauce pan melt the butter over medium heat.
Then add your garlic and sauce for about 2-3 minutes, stirring until the garlic is fragrant and the butter is just beginning to brown.
Then add in the oregano and stir.
Pour in the heavy cream and mix well. Adjust heat to medium high.
Allow to come up to a rolling bubble.
Then add the parmesan cheese a little at a time stirring in as you go.
Turn heat back down to medium and allow to slowly bubble and thicken for a few minutes.
Then add in pepper and juice of 1/2 a lemon.
Taste for seasoning.
Serve immediately.

*Reheating later will cause the sauce to separate- It will taste perfect but the look of the sauce will not be the same.

1/2 tsp pepper
1 Tbsp fresh herbs (either fresh parsley or basil) chopped finely

low carb Broccoli Cheddar Egg Cups

low carb Broccoli Cheddar Egg Bites- makes 10 egg bites

 9 eggs

1/4 cup heavy cream

2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, chopped into small pieces

1 1/2 slices of American Cheese, chopped into smaller pieces

1/2 cup raw broccoli chopped small and thin 

1/2 tsp salt 

1/2 tsp pepper

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder


Preheat oven to 425 degrees. 

Whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Set aside. 

Spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and evenly distribute the broccoli into 10 muffins. 

Then evenly distribute the cheddar and American cheeses. 

Pour in the egg mixture evenly between the 10 muffins. 

Bake for 20-25 minutes. 

Egg cups will be puffed up when you remove them from the oven. Let them cool about 5 minutes, they will deflate. Then remove them from the muffin tin and pack them up for an easy meal prep! Enjoy!
