Homemade Boursin Cheese

This is a little pot of garlicy yum! It's easy to make and stores well covered in the fridge for  a week or two...if it lasts that long.

Ingredients

• 8 ounces cream cheese well softened
• ¼ cup salted butter well softened
• 3 to 5 cloves garlic minced or pressed
• 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or chopped fresh parsley)
• ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
• ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
• ⅛ teaspoon Tabasco or other hot sauce

Instructions

• In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until well combined and smooth.
  
• Beat in the garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and hot sauce until well combined.
  
• Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking.

Carrot Cake - Keto

A bit of a retrospective post. I made this in November for a family birthday cake. Carrot cake is usually the birthday cake of choice for Patrick but since I had started dabbling into Keto eating I decided to give this recipe a try. 
The cake is quite dense, but a lot of carrot cakes are. It was approved by all who ate it and I have to admit to sneaking slices from the left over cake from the fridge for day afterwards.
I’d make it again.
The recipe comes from the ‘Elle Herself’ facebook page.

I’ll re-type the recipe when I get the chance...
