Ya’ll, this dip instantly enhances any fruit you decide to grace this magic dust on – especially ones that have a little sourness to them, like starfruit, kiwis, watermelon, and mangos. If you are living the low carb lifestyle, our favorite substitute for sugar is classic monkfruit sweetener. Allulose is also a great alternative.
Mix equal parts monkfruit sweetener, salt, and dried chili flakes. That’s it!
Okay, here’s the dealio…we are obsessed with pockets. What is a pocket? It is a meal stuffed into a triangular pocket of deliciousness using flatbread strips and your filling of choice. We exclusively use our holy grail flatbread, Cutdacarb, because it’s easy to work with, takes on whatever flavor you season it with, and it fries up fast as hell. We rely on pocket-fying foods because it is a is a low carb hack to control your carb intake but also still get the satisfaction of eating your favorite foods.
The idea for pocket-fying things is based on our love of Hot Pockets (cue theme song) and the technique of folding a paper football or Greek Spanikopita (shout out to my grade school friend’s Yia Yia for showing us how to do this when we were 8 years old). The technique to fold is the same for all of these. See diagram below:
The pocket-fy process involves picking your filling of choice, adding it at the bottom of the flatbread strip, and using the folding technique shown above.
We deep fry 90% of our pockets in avocado oil. The rest are either pan fried in butter or baked in our toaster oven after being sprayed with avocado oil. Our Keto baes have used their air fryers as well.

This one is a throwback to the days we all had to fend for ourselves before all of the keto-friendly products flooded the market. Most people use canned chicken but this one uses my least favorite part of rotisserie chicken – leftover white meat! I swear no matter what you try to do to make it juicy, it gets drier and drier by the second, which is why it’s the perfect “flour” for this zero carb pizza dough. You can use rotisserie chicken or any leftover skinless white meat chicken. The thinner you roll out the “dough” the crispier the crust will be.

Honestly this is so easy, it’s hard to call this a recipe. Vietnamese and a lot of southeast asian people use this on grilled meats, noodle salads, fried fish, and even slathered all over roasted corn.

If you’re like me who cries at every 1inch hair trim then you know the feeling when you brush your hair and find it shedding CLUMPS. Once I noticed my hair wouldn’t stop shedding I immediately dove into the internet and found a hair routine to stick to.
Below is a list of items and tips I’ve been using to help me achieve the locks of my dreams:
1. Supplements!
Viviscal and Collagen has been my go to on tackling my hair shedding and promoting hair growth. You can find them
2. Washing your hair
Working in the restaurant industry I would leave with an aroma of oil and grease…LOL so the thought of not washing my hair daily use to freak me out. Turns out its best to NOT wash your hair daily so that your scalp is not stripped from natural oils. Luckily, I do not work in the Resturant industry anymore and feel comfortable on stretching out my washes. I noticed my hair felt more soft and not as brittle as before.
3. THE “BRUSH”
Ok, I’m boujee and I know it. I’m the type that needs all the bells and whistles when I’m laser focused on something. The coveted Mason Pearson hair brush is meant to stimulate circulation, bring blood flow to the scalp, and in turn promote healthy hair growth. Does it work? Not sure yet, but it feels oh so goooooood and makes me want to take care of my hair. The average price for this brush is around $250 but we found an amazing dupe for $40 Here
This one is for people who HATE brussels cause you’re going to love them after eating these. Already love brussels? This is an excuse to eat them even more.

WTF is Dalgona coffee and why is it blowing up your social feeds? Dalgona coffee is a South Korean drink that broke the internet while the world practices social distancing right now. Dalgona is a popular honeycomb candy commonly sold by street vendors in South Korea. The coffee version of this candy is super frothy and Insta-worthy.
We added homemade coffee jelly cause when you’re extra, you always add something extra lol.

Spanikopita 🇬🇷 using @cutdacarb in place of phyllo dough. This spinach pie is so incredibly quick and easy to make. It’s one of the first Greek dishes I tried when I was little and have been hooked ever since 🥰
