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.

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 🥰

If this isn’t a fridge/pantry cleanout meal – we don’t know what is. Fun fact: did you know Spam hails from Minnesota? Like many others, we grew up eating this on the regular with rice and eggs. This ketofied version swaps out rice for cauli-rice and still tastes just as good.

This is the closest that we’ve gotten to an actual bowl of oatmeal and we are loving it. This base is so easy to to make and you can really make it your own with different extracts and mix-ins. This is a mix between cream of wheat and oatmeal but based on how you season and tweak it, could be a very good dupe for grits.

This boba shop favorite is a super easy way to add texture to any of your coffees or milk teas. Play around with the coffee flavor by adding more or less instant coffee powder to the mix.
