What is comfort food?

Comfort food is linked to nostalgia

As I mentioned in my about me page, I specialize in keto & low carb comfort foods. For me, comfort food is a type of cuisine that makes you smile. It makes you remember good times and people that you love. Comfort food is decadent, savory, and rich!

Why share keto & low carb comfort foods?

Traditional comfort food is filled with sugar and carbs

Comfort food is typically filled with sugar, grains, and carbs! It’s not sustainable long term because it’s just not that good for you. So, I’m sharing these keto & low carb remakes so that we can have more comfort food without the guilt.
