I just wanted to let you know that my first purchse was the Keto in five cookbooks that you had a bundle price on. I had never done Keto before and I found your recipe books to be worth every penny. Wonderful books. Loved the Creamy Mushroom Soup and so many of the other recipes. Thank you. I would rate these booklets with extremely high marks.
Thank you so much! We’re glad we can be of help 🙂
Is it really 1/2 tablespoon of baking powder? I made it and it is fine but it is much more “poofy” than the pic. I wanted to try a recipe to sample what it might be like to use your weekly recipe service as a middle-aged man. It was easy and tasty. thank you
