Keto UpgradeThis bread recipe has been a help to so many people, and I was so happy to be providing people with a product they loved. I'm really at a loss and don't know where to go from here, the waste of ingredients (money in the trash) for my very small business is detrimental to my growth. Every time I think I'm getting ahead something happens and I've contemplated giving up many times over the last 2 years. It would be so much easier to just go get a sous chef job somewhere but I had a vision and I don't like giving up.

Rhubarb Addition, Super Versatile!Keto Upgrade2025-05-31 | #nutfree #glutenfree #protein It's rhubarb season! I wanted to make some delicious breakfast treats with my fresh rhubarb I get form my best friend, so I started experimenting. These muffins are soft, fluffy, tart and a little sweet with a sweet crunchy streusel topping. This base muffin recipe was figured out awhile ago, and it took me altering the dry ingredients a bit so that our add ins wouldn't all sink to the bottom of the muffin. Once I figured that out, altering it to add different add-ins is pretty easy. I just had to make a few tweaks with adding rhubarb which is very tart compared to something like blueberries.

Before these options were available I had used tiny pieces of steamed cauliflower to make low carb macaroni salad which is a good option if you don't want to buy the more expensive low carb options.

Easy Cheese Sauce Recipe (enough for about 2 Cups of cheese sauce)
2 Tbs. Butter Diced raw onion or peppers (optional) 3/4 Cup Heavy Cream 12-16oz./3-4 Cups Shredded or chopped cheese (more if adding liquid to the cheese sauce, like salsa or wet macaroni) Salt and pepper (to taste)
Add 2 Cups sauce to 8oz. of cooked pasta, place in a baking dish, top with some more cheese and bake at 450 for 10 minutes (can broil for extra crispy top)
Can make mac and cheese ahead and refrigerate then bake covered at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes, then uncover and bake until bubbly and browning on top
Macros will all depend on what cheeses and how much you use. If you use pre-shredded cheese the carbs will be higher!
Blog Link to Full Recipe- ketoupgrade.info/post/easy-keto-low-carb-cheese-sauceAmazing Low Carb/High Protein Soft Pretzel Recipe!Keto Upgrade2025-04-19 | #nutfree #noalmondflour #glutenfree After figuring out soft and chewy sweet dinner rolls and pizza crust, I wanted to see if I could take this dough to the next step of boiling. And surprisingly it worked to make a delicious soft pretzel with quite a few tweaks to make it not too big and fluffy. The recipe ended up being pretty basic with pretty much the same ingredients as a regular soft pretzel recipe. The only difference is our "flour" is a combination of several ingredients to replace the stretch and gluten we lack in our flours.

Business Inquires: Keto Upgrade e-mail - ketoupgrade.info@gmail.comAn Easy Keto/Low Carb Lasagna Noodle?Keto Upgrade2025-03-22 | As an Italian, lasagna is something I've loved forever and even though it is a little more work, it's nice to have a piece of low carb lasagna once in awhile. What I like about cooking is you can make a dish as complicated or simple as you want. For this particular low carb lasagna I made a little more complex lamb bolognese sauce but you can just as easily brown up some beef and add a jar of your favorite low carb pasta sauce.

Blog Post to Recipe- ketoupgrade.info/post/keto-low-carb-lasagnaCreating Low Carb St. Pattys Day Irish Cream Cupcakes!Keto Upgrade2025-03-15 | This recipe is a combination of 3 of my recipes, flavored in a Baily's Irish Cream way. Baily's Irish Cream is a liquor that is comprised of Cream, Whiskey, Cocoa, and Vanilla. If I made this for myself I would use a vanilla or Irish cream buttercream to make it lower carb. Buttercream Tutorial- youtu.be/xQQasWnk_sM I made this cake for my sister-in-law and she gets the cooling effect from erythritol very strongly so I used a whipped ganache frosting, which made these cupcakes even a little high in carbs.

Blog Post to Full Recipe- ketoupgrade.info/post/keto-girl-scout-peanut-butter-pattiesKeto/Gluten Free Starbucks Lemon Loaf Knockoff Recipe!Keto Upgrade2025-03-01 | #nutfree #almondfree Been wanting to figure out a lemon breakfast loaf and lemon pound cake for awhile. After looking up recipes and ingredients for a Starbucks lemon loaf and lemon pound cake they are pretty similar. The difference between a breakfast loaf and pound cake is that a pound cake has more butter, eggs and sugar in ratio to the flour. For keto baked goods we already add extra eggs and butter to combat the dryness of our baked goods. The sugar in a pound cake is astronomical compared to the amount of sweetener I add to our baked goods. I don't add the same amount of sweetener as sugar that most recipes call for. So this is basically a pound cake recipe as well as a knockoff for Starbuck lemon loaf recipe.

Tips from a BAKERY OWNER!Keto Upgrade2025-02-18 | What do you really need to making baking easier??? Well, I try to keep things minimal. I really don't like being cramped in my kitchen. So when I moved into a larger space I still took a lot of consideration into what to buy and not buy. I could have easily splurged on things that were fun or made things easier but I didn't want to clutter things too much and if I had to bring everything home, I didn't want too much stuff, which is exactly what happened! So I'm glad I didn't go too crazy with extras!

The liquid you choose is up to you. For my wedding I did a red wine braised short rib. For this recipe I used root beer zevia, you can use any diet root beer for a low carb braise short rib or a dry red wine. The other part of the braising liquid is a good beef bone broth or a concentrated beef base. Unfortunately most beef bases or packaged demi-glace do not have clean ingredients. But if you are doing low carb and not keto I would use a packet of demi-glace. Then instead of reconstituting with water, use the flavor component you want to add to the base. If you do use beef stock I would reduce the stock by half to concentrate the flavor or add a beef stock cube to the broth.
The rest is whatever aromatics you want to add. Whatever you add to the braising liquid will be strained out later. So you can add the scraps from onions, carrots, celery even just the peels are fine. Then any seasoning/spices, fresh or dried you would like. I added whole peppercorns, and dried thyme but you can add fresh bundles of thyme or rosemary, fresh garlic, and the skins of carrots and onion because that is what I had on hand.
Low Carb/Keto Short Ribs
2 Tbs. Avocado Oil 2-4lb. of Fresh Short Ribs (on the bone is best) 32oz. Beef Bone Broth or 16oz. Demi-glace 1 Tbs. Beef Base or 1 Beef Stock Cube (optional, if not using demi-glace) 1 Tbs. Tomato paste for added richness (optional) 32oz. No sugar added Root Beer or Dry Red Wine Aromatics: Scraps of onions, celery, carrots and/or peppers, Whole peppercorns, garlic cloves, Fresh or dried rosemary and/or thyme
Ingredients to flavor and thicken the sauce later: Salt Pepper Granulated Garlic Granulated Onion Worchester Sauce Arrowroot/cornstarch with water or xanthan gum
