Keto caramel sauce

This caramel sauce is wonderful when used for my 6 layer bars, poured over my sundae, or used to dip berries in! So easy and versatile (and delicious!)

INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup butter
6 tbsp Swerve Sweetener
2 tbsp Sukrin Gold brown sugar replacement OR 2 tbsp.coconut sugar OR 1 tbsp blackstrap molasses* OR additional Swerve**
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 tsp xanthan gum
1/4 tsp kosher or sea salt
2 tbsp water

FOR SALTED CARAMEL SAUCE

1/2 tsp additional kosher salt or sea salt

DIRECTIONS

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, Swerve, and brown sugar replacement of choice. Bring to a boil and cook 3 to 5 minutes (be careful not to burn it).Remove from heat and add cream. Mixture will bubble vigorously. Sprinkle with xanthan gum and whisk vigorously to combine. Add salt. Return mixture to heat and boil 1 more minute. Let cool to lukewarm and stir in water until well combined. For salted caramel, simply stir in additional salt at the end. The sauce can be stored in the fridge for a week or so (I've actually stored mine for several weeks). Just gently reheat in the microwave or in a saucepan to make it pourable again.

Serves 8.

*Sukrin Gold is a brown sugar replacement available online. If you use coconut sugar or molasses, you will add additional carbs.
**You can use all Swerve for this. However, your end result will be lighter and will recrystallize more upon cooling.

Vanilla-Almond Creme Brulee

Easier Than You Think Creme Brulee Recipes I have worked on several recipes and Del was nice enough to taste with me. ;-) She finally told me the other night that "I had perfected this", so now I feel like I can share! Extreme creamy custard on the bottom, and a hard, crunchy top layer of "burnt" sugar. "Creme Brulee" literally translates to "burnt creme".  The only "must" for this recipe is the custard cups- make sure you use heat proof cups designed for baking souffles or brulees and this recipe will be a snap!!

Teriyaki steak salad (my keto replacement for my old lettuce wraps)

Before starting keto, one of our favorite meals were Asian lettuce wraps. We would marinate steak in sugary teriyaki sauce and flash fry in a wok. Once the meat cooled, we would spoon rice into a lettuce cup, sp rinkle with  soy sauce and chili oil and pile with steak. Finally, we would add a few slices of cucumber to cool the heat from the chili oil. It was so satisfyingly delicious! I have been craving those lettuce wraps recently, so I decided to try my hand at recreating the marinade, making it Keto of course!  I decided to make it into a salad in order to add more vegetables to bulk it up since we aren't using rice. The final meal tasted better than our old lettuce wraps; I will definitely be using this teriyaki sauce more often!
