Keto, Diabetic Friendly Dessert: Pumpkin Mousse

So yesterday came and went, and I wasn't feeling too hot. I'm here today, though! And I have an amazing recipe that will be a hit at any family get together.

This recipe makes A LOT of mousse, but no worries! There won't be any left over by the end of the night ;)

(Sorry for the not so pretty photo!)

Pumpkin Mousse

(Low Carb, No Sugar Added, Diabetic & Keto Friendly!)

8 oz. Neufchatel Cheese, softened

8 oz. Marscapone Cheese

1 1/2 c. canned pumpkin (NOT canned pumkin pie)

2/3 c. liquid Splenda (If you have the little squirt bottle, it's about 32 squirts!)

2 c. Heavy Whipping Cream

1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/8 tsp. ground allspice

Just a dash of ground nutmeg

Just a dash of ground clove

14 - 1/2 cup serving dishes (I like the little plastic cups, or 1/2 cup mason jars!)

In a bowl use a mixer to combine neufchatel and marscapone until smooth. Beat in canned pumpkin, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and clove. Set aside.

In a large bowl and using either an electric mixer or standing mixer, whip together 2 cups of heavy whipping cream, vanilla, and liquid splenda. Whip until stiff peaks form.

Fold fresh whipped cream into your pumpkin cheese mixture. Fold until incorporated. Using a mixer, continue beating for about 2 minutes.

Place 1/2 cup into each serving dish. You may have a little extra, and that's okay! That's for the chef to try ;)

Cover with plastic wrap, and chill in refrigerator for about 2 hours, but no longer than 24 hours.

If you're not worried about extra carbs or sugars, serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a pinch of cinnamon on top!

Makes 7 cups, 14 servings. 4.45 Net Carbs per serving

We served this at our family's Early Thanksgiving party, and everyone who tried it loved it! Aunts, Uncles, Grandma's were asking for the recipe!

And best of all, only a few people knew it was diet friendly!!

Thanks for sticking around, y'all!!!

I'll be back with more recipes and reviews down the road!

When You Want Some Easy Comfort Food...

Imagine, it's Sunday morning. Last week was rough, and you could use a simple dinner idea that everyone will love. Queue Chile Verde. It's simple, and delicious. And my recipe isn't necessarily the traditional way to make it, but amazing nonetheless! Here's what you'll need: 2 lb. pork loin roast, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes 1 - 16oz. jar salsa verde (we used Pace, but you can use any brand you trust!) 1 - 7oz. can diced green chiles (we used store brand for this one) 3 lg. red potatoes, cut into 1 inch cubes (Russets also work well with this meal, so use what you have or looks good at the store this week!) 1 tbsp. minced garlic (if you want to mince it yourself, it's about 3 cloves fresh garlic) 1/4 tsp. ground cumin 1 tsp. dried oregano 1/2 tsp. garlic powder Salt & Pepper, to taste Steps! (Some of which have photos!) Wash and cube your potatoes. You want each piece to be about 1 to 1 1/2 inches. Toss 'em in the crock pot. I...

Guess Who's Back... Back Again... Geek Is Back... Tell a Friend. No, seriously... tell everyone!

Y'all, I got to take a pretty insane vacation last week! One of my best friends and I embarked on a 30-effing-hour drive from Las Vegas to Biloxi, Mississippi to visit another best friend of ours (think of us as The Trio of Unending Shenanigans!) The Trio had a blast! Vietnamese food, good ol' fashioned southern BBQ, BOBA! Can you tell food played an important part in this trip?! We also went to the beach. The Gulf of Mexico is just as beautiful as I remembered it! Yeh, sure... when you're on the shoreline and there are barrier islands 2 miles out the water is murky.... but you get away from those barrier islands, and the water is this GORGEOUS pristine blue. Oh, y'all.... I'm pining to go back already! But then.... The 30-hellish-hour drive home. My company was phenomenal, the conversations was lively AF! We may even create a YouTube channel dedicated to the stupidly hilarious things that were coming out of our sleep deprived minds! And the dread. I wa...
