So to help out all you Keto-dieters out, we are going to explore some of the many copycat recipes that will help you enjoy being on a low-carb diet without feeling like you’re missing out on a thing. FOMO be gone!

And it’s quick to make with a little help from your Instant Pot.

Starbucks has long been the coffee and breakfast-on-the-go queen and with their recent release of the Sous Vide Egg Bites, the craze has continued. Their bites are creamy and delicious and altogether fairly healthy, but they’re also super expensive – totaling just shy of $5 for two of them! We took a look at their recipe and realized that it’s so easy to recreate them at home and with cleaner ingredients. And as a bonus, they’re made in the Instant Pot and keto-friendly!

Bailey’s Irish Cream anyone? So delicious. But also packed with sugar, which is a definite no-no when you’re on the Keto diet. In fact, most alcoholic drinks and cocktails aren’t keto-friendly. Welp!

Not to leave Keto-dieters out, we created this super simple low-carb Creamy Keto Irish Cream Liqueur that you can easily make at home!

Rhiannon loves to cook and bake but has also never said "no" to a takeout burrito (see, she's just like you!). Despite slowly running out of room in her cabinets, she continues to expand her collections of cookbooks and kitchen gadgets and is deeply jealous of people who can just "whip something up" without a recipe. When she's not in the kitchen, you can find her camping and hiking with her husband and rescue dog, Waffles.
