Keto Twins on YouTube

 I recently found the Keto Twins on YouTube and I have to say that I love watching all of their videos.  Not only do I get great Keto information, but they are smart and funny. It is obvious that they love keto and want to share their experiences with others to help them on their way to keto weight loss.

The reason I am enjoying them so much is because they don't have their own Keto recipes.  They get recipes from everywhere and try them out on camera.  They even taste test them on camera.  As you know from an earlier post, sometimes what you see on video does not always turn out.  See this post for more about that.

Just to show you what I mean, I am going to post a few of their videos here.  This is just a sample of what they have.  They are hilarious when they are preparing each dish.  Because they are twins, they talk back and forth on camera without any hesitation.  It is so fun to watch.  I hope you enjoy these couple of videos and start watching them for yourself.  You will get lots of encouragement and you will find out which recipes work and which do not without the pain of making it yourself.

Not Everything You Make from a Keto Recipe turns Out!

 Well, I have had really good luck with keto recipes I find on Pinterest, but not so much with the ones I see on YouTube.  I recently watched Low Carb Love cook spinach wraps and she gushed about how good they were and how easy they were to make and they only have the 2 ingredients...

I thought, that sounds good.  I like spinach wraps.  I think I'll try that.  So off to the store I went and bought my fresh spinach.  I already had the eggs.  I had to find my blender up in the top of the cupboard because I rarely use it.  So now I have my ingredients collected, my tools clean and washed, my pan lightly coated with spray oil and on medium heat.  I did everything she did, exactly and ended up with the biggest mess!

Not only did they not turn out to be wraps, but they were inedible.  Mine were nothing like hers even though I followed her instructions exactly.  It was a sobering experience and one I did not enjoy.  I was really looking forward to having a spinach wrap for lunch.

So next I decided to make something I know turns out beautifully.  I made my go-to Chaffles that I use as my bread in sandwiches.  I love these things.  They are tasty, they have a slight crispiness from the Mozzarella and I can add any seasoning I want that day.  They take about 3 minutes to whip up and I absolutely love them. I don't feel quite as defeated since these turned out beautifully, just like I like them.

If you want to start cooking Keto, I would recommend starting with Pinterest for some good recipes.  I have had the best luck with those.  Although there are a couple of YouTubers that I watch whose recipes are really good even though mine don't look like theirs do when finished.

Here are a couple that I do like and have had some success with their recipes:

My biggest complaint with Keto casseroles is that they are so flat and they are not very filling.  If I make a keto casserole, I also make a big salad and some vegetable that is in season to go along with it.  I even can sometimes make chaffles to eat with it.  

In case you haven't noticed, chaffles are my thing.  Even my daughter likes them and she is really picky.

Here is my go-to Chaffle recipe:

• 1/4 cup finely ground almond flour
• 2 med-large eggs
• 1/4 tsp. baking powder
• 1 Tbsp. water
• 2 ounces of softened cream cheese or 1 Tbsp. of mayonnaise

I mix this all together in a bowl while my waffle iron heats up.  I lightly spray the iron with olive or avocado oil and then put a bit of mozzarella grated finely all over the surface of the waffle iron.  Not heavily, just a bit to cover most of it.

I then add the recipe and let it start to cook before I add a top layer of grated cheese.  I close the top and wait until it says it is done.  Yummy!  I used to make these in the mini-dash waffle iron, but since I eat these so often, I had to get myself a large 4 square waffle iron to keep up.  You see what you think.
