We can all benefit sometimes from lowering our carbs and I love creating low carb recipes. This weekend’s edition – low-carb cauliflower waffles! The cool thing is it’s pretty easy to put a keto spin on some recipes by swapping out the high carb ingredient with cauliflower. I’ve done this with pizza and mashed potatoes. Now it’s time for waffles!
I’ve been learning a lot of about the Ketogenic (keto) diet lately because a lot of my readers are asking for keto friendly recipes. I don’t follow a keto diet myself, but I’ve seen it do wonders in shedding weight and improving the health of a lot of people, even close friends and families of mine. The premise of it is very low carb and high-fat, which is similar to the Atkins diet.
