This would be a great addition to your Easter brunch! In this recipe, I swapped out the heavy cream and used my cheese sauce recipe which uses broth and a little cream cheese instead of heavy cream and cheese. This adds a ton of flavor with less calories!
More recipes like this can be found in my new book: The Art of Healthy Eating: Savory. Thank you all for your support in purchasing my books! Without you, I couldn’t give out free information and recipes.

With the popularity of keto, comes a lot of bad advice. “Eat 80% fat” …. “If you aren’t losing weight, add more fat” …. “Eat fat bombs”…..“Do a Fat Fast to lose weight”… these are just some of the bad information we are hearing and reading on other keto sites which is why we want to give you the proper tools to be successful on your ketogenic journey.
It may not look like it now, but I lived the majority of my life afraid of my own shadow and very little confidence in myself. In this course Craig and I step forward to give you everything you need to know to make this a lifestyle for you and your family.We talk about the how our biology works and how keto can use it to make you happier, healthier, full of energy and mental clarity that is amazing.
I have been help clients for over 15 years to use a ketogenic diet to help heal their bodies and lose weight. What has been amazing is that most of my clients see the weight loss as a bonus. They feel so good and get off medications. But in the 15 plus years I have found what works. We are newly jumping on the keto bandwagon, we have lived this with our WHOLE FAMILY for decades. Now we put all that knowledge into this amazing course.
