Holiday Appetizers and Side Dishes and ChocoPerfection Giveaway!

 

Testimony of the Day

“Several years ago, I felt like I was dying. I was plagued by numerous symptoms, i.e. always cold, no sleep, racing and out of rhythm heart, depression, hair falling out and always sick with something. My doctor took the usual tests and told me that my thyroid was normal and handed me a referral to a psychologist. I was so discouraged, but found a Osteopath that ordered a ton of blood work. It turned out that I have Hashimotos, an immune dysfunction where your thyroid hormones are destroyed by your own immune system. I was on several medications, then a naturopath I visited told me if I would get off of gluten I could kiss the meds goodbye.

I initially just got of wheat, but through the help of Maria Emmerich, I have gone totally grain free and sugar free. Currently, I don’t need any medications, which is awesome because the am super sensitive to prescription; there is always a price to pay. Hope this helps someone out there!”

If you too want to get off your thyroid medication, click HERE for a consult.

With the right diet and supplement plan, you can feel like a new person!

Another Cute Testimony that I also received today:

“Hi Maria, I am excited to add the correct supplements to my new “Mariafied” life style 🙂 I tell my husband that the proof is in the pants as I am fitting back into pants that I couldn’t have a year ago. And I just have to add that tonight as I was at Wal-mart (hoping by chance they had coconut flour since I ran out) I ran into a lady that looked familiar from my home town but I do not know personally. She asked if my name was Nicolle and if I followed you as she thought she saw me following you on FB. We spent a few minutes discussing what has/hasn’t worked for our families. I highly suggested your Creme Brulee as that is a family favorite 🙂 Thanks so much!” Nicolle

    Keto is starting to alleviate my health issues-thyroid, weight & toxic liver!
    Thanks, Maria!

  • Laurie says:

    Words cannot express how good I am feeling since going wheat free. Just got your Keto book and love it. Trying to implement “Maria’s Way” now and take my diet changes to the next level. I am hoping to get your 30 day plan sometime soon because I am having a hard time figuring out meals and such to be keto on my own. Thanks so much for all you share!!!

  • Barbara says:

    Eating a Keto life style has helped me loose the pounds I need (not there yet), my health is so much better. I am thankful to Maria for the knowledge she has, and the hard work she has put into writing for the rest of us. Thank you. For the first time ever, I have maintained my weight so far through this holiday season. Always so tempting for me. But this year I have almost all of Maria’s books, so I have so many options, and have learned ways to transform some of my old recipes to a more healthy version. Thank you Maria. I have told my patients and friends to come to your web site for wonderful healthy options.

  • Julie says:

    My favorite Christmas treat is… almond-meal apple cobbler! Soooo good!

  • Valerie G says:

    My favorite treat used to be my homemade fudge. I’m making Maria’s Keto fudge today!

  • Marilyn says:

    This is my first Christmas being grain-free. I would LOVE to figure out how to make something close to a Polish cookie, kolacky. My mother’s recipe was simple: flour water, butter combined, rolled thin & cut into squares, topped with a fruit or nut filling, two sides folded toward the center. They were heavenly, but I just haven’t found anything that would work for the cookie dough. I will just have to make new traditions!

  • Karen Tass says:

    I just put together it is the sugar in my 86% dark chocolate that has been making my hair fall out. A life without CHOCOLATE?!?! Must win this!!

  • Debbie says:

  • Jennifer says:

    Well, I have to say my favorite holiday treat used to be the cornflake wreaths made with marshmellows, but today, they taste like chemicals, mainly because they are. I have not yet figured out a substitute for those little goodies, but there are so many more….I would have to say today, my favorite treat is non-sugar sugar cookies with cream cheese frosting (of course sugar free). 🙂

    My favorite holiday treats are, toffee, Christmas cookies, and pumpkin pie mmmm I also like flan and chocoflan cake. Have you ever tried healthifying tamales or gorditas? I also have a question, ok so I was reading on a low carb site that black soy beans are very low carb is this true? But on other sites they were saying that edens soy beans brand didn’t include all the carbs on their label and I am very confused. Since we are Hispanic beans was always a food we had growing up and I tried the eggplant beans but something just tasted off.

  • Wendy says:

  • BrendaS says:

    Christmas cookies of all sorts

  • Michelle Lewis says:

    I have a question about your program and my taste buds. I don’t like coconut at all. My husband is gluten intolerant so I have made up a “four” free mix that includes coconut flour and I don’t taste it but am very leary of trying coconut milk, oil, ect because am afaid eill taste like coconut. My husband is also dairy free-I see you use whole cream in recipies…any substitutions for that. I’m really interested in your program, just need these questions answered. Thanks for your time and what you do Maria. Mich

  • Elizabeth says:

    I started Keto about 2 years ago after meeting Gary Taubes, author of why we get fat at my university. It worked really well and I was in the best shape of my life. About 8 months ago I got a bit off track and started gaining weight and experiencing lots of problems with GERD and bloating. I discovered Maria’s site about 3 months ago through Pinterest. I have been eating like a king! Everything I have made has been delicious, the products are great, and best of all I feel amazing. I lost the weight I had gained back, I am no longer having cravings or feeling weak, and best of all, my stomach issues are gone and I no longer need yo take the super expensive Nexium! Thank you Maria— I am a fan! My dad is an leading Alzheimer’s researcher and advocate of ketosis as a method of treatment. I turned my family onto your site and they are excited to recreate your low carb dishes 🙂

    Maria. I really want to purchase your cook books after reading your latest keto adapted. But I am wondering if the recipes give options for dairy free, egg free/substitute. I also am sensitive to almonds. So I don’t want to get the books and not be able to make the recipes. I am especially interested in the slow cooker book and the desserts book. Would appreciate some insight before I purchase. Thanks.

  • Sharron Timmins says:

    Holy Jumping – I am spending SO much time here, reading all of Maria’s fabulous recipes and tips, and all the treats people are saying are their ‘favs’. I have too many to list here, but am forbidden to get through a Christmas without making at least one batch of Almond Rocca!! LOL Considering it’s mostly toasted almonds, chocolate, butter – and the not-so-good ingredients like white sugar and a wee bit of corn syrup, I figure there must surely be a ‘healthified’ way with a sugar substitute…though not certain about what would substitute for the corn syrup? Whatever it is, has to reach the ‘hard ball’ candy stage as the rocca turns into hard candy.

    It’s ten days to turkey time, folks!! 🙂

  • Heather says:

    Now that the loaf of Amazing bread that I made yesterday is over half gone I suppose it’s time to make a new one. This from a family with two picky eaters and a skeptical wife!

I hope I get that present early! Thanks Maria and Craig!

  • Mimi says:

    Id love to win these chocoperfection bars but I do not participate in Facebook. Any possibility for those of us who don’t do Facebook to win? Our family loves many recipes from your Sweets cookbook. My personal Christmas. Favorite is cut out cookies. I’ve been wheat free and sugar free for about 8 months and loving this way of eating.

  • Deborah says:

    My favorite Christmas treat is the Oreo balls.

  • lori says:

    I love your keto fudge and any of the cheesecakes!! I wish Swerve confectioners sugar wasn’t sold out so I could try your cutout cookies!

    My favorite treats are probably frosted sugar cookies! So glad I can make some healthy ones now for my girls and I!

  • Mary says:

    Favorite Christmas treat? My mom used to make a banana pudding for Christmas only. Never got it until then because she made the pudding on the stove and with those vanilla cookies, sliced bananas and whipped cream on top? YUM! The pudding would still be warm as she poured it onto the layer of cookies and bananas. It would soak into the cookies! Oh YUM!! Wish there was a low-carb, gluten free option of this!

  • Lynn F. says:

    My fave Christmas treat (besides the sweetest kisses ever from g-babes) is Lindt white chocolate truffles. Unfortunately, they do not make a low carb truffle so .. that sweet treat is out. It would be great to find a nice alternative to have once per week. After all, eating cleaner and healthier is now the way I plan to eat .. for life. That means an occasional treat that will not harm me is something I would really love to find. 🙂

  • Angela says:

    We love brie for Christmas… and cinnamon rolls! I am new to this keto world and excited to try your recipe for cinnamon rolls, Maria. I just made your tortillas last night so we could have REAL tacos (instead of in a bowl) and they turned out GREAT once I got the hang of transferring them to the pan! They held together so nicely too – awesome to have a taco again! Thanks so much for sharing knowledge with others – we wouldn’t know how to do this successfully without your help. I’ve read a couple of your books so far and am enjoying exploring your recipes! Anyway, just wanted you to know you’re appreciated. Thanks again!
