Keto (Low Carb) Cheesecake Recipe

I've recently joined the Keto Diet club! Although its been quite an adjustment, it has definitely been worth it. I am two weeks in and have lost 12lbs already! I find myself eating WAY less food, yet I am completely satisfied and don't feel at all like I'm starving myself. However, I definitely have a sweet tooth and wanted to find something low-carb to satisfy it. I went searching for a Keto friendly cheesecake recipe and actually found quite a few but none that worked with what I had and what I wanted to use. So I mixed three different recipes and came up with this one.

This cheesecake turned out as a dense (almost tart like) rich cheesecake that definitely satisfied my sweet-tooth!

*To be sure you track how much each slice is double check with all the specific ingredients you end up using* 

Mine ended up being about 3-4 carbs per slice - plus maybe 1 more for the added strawberries.

I hope you enjoy! I am still perfecting this recipe and if I make any changes will update the recipe on this post! ENJOY!

Slow Cooker Crispy Pork Tacos

Tacos...need I say more? Delicious crispy pork tacos were on the menu for last night! I had a boneless pork roast, and knew pulled pork tacos are always a hit. I find cooking almost anything in the crock pot to be easier and less work on my end. This recipe is no exception! Keep reading for the recipes of these delicious crispy pork tacos! I adapted this recipe from the lovely blog GimmeSomeOven !

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 (4-5 pound) lean boneless pork roast, cut into 3 inch pieces
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1 medium white onion, diced OR onion powder 
• 4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
• 1 tablespoon chipotle powder (or 1 chipotle in adobo sauce, minced)
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

DIRECTIONS:

1. Add all ingredients to a large slow cooker, and combine. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the pork is completely tender and shreds easily with a fork.
2. Once the pork is cooked, preheat your broiler to high heat and prepare two baking sheets with aluminum foil. Use a fork to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces, and then use a slotted spoon to transfer it to the prepared baking sheets, spreading the pork in an even layer and leaving the juices behind in the slow cooker.  (Don’t discard the juices, we’re going to use them later!)
3. Place one sheet under the broiler for about 5 minutes, or until the edges of the pork begin browning and crisping up. Remove the sheet from the oven, then ladle a scoop of the of the juices from the slow cooker evenly over the pork, and then give it a good toss with some tongs.  Broil for an additional 5 minutes to get the meat more crispy. Then remove and ladle an additional scoop of broth over the crispy pork. 
4. Repeat with the other baking sheet of pork.
5. NOW to assemble! I assembled these by spreading sour cream on a small tortilla and wrapping in around a cripsy ranch flavored taco. Topping it with cheese, lettuce, chopped onion, and fresh cilantro! YUM!!

I hope you enjoy! :)
