Posted on January 22, 2020 by Krissyar

2 Ingredient Keto Pasta recipe – be sure to pin it! One thing that I’ve missed lately (being that it’s winter, and I need comfort food like my Keto Pizza Rolls) is pasta. We use it in homemade chicken noodle soup, with marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, so on. So if you are really craving pasta, you have to give this Keto 2 Ingredient Pasta recipe.

These pasta noodles need to be eaten immediately , so they can’t really be made a head of time. But they are pretty easy to make, and don’t take too long to cook, so give yourself about 25-30 minutes or so.

INGREDIENTS
1 cup freshly shredded mozzarella
1 egg yolk
optional: low carb marinara sauce

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350

In a saucepan melt the cheese and mix until smooth

Add the egg yolk and mix until completely combined

Pour onto parchment paper and cover with another piece of parchment paper

Use a rolling pin, and roll over the covered ingredients until the desired thickness

Place in freezer for 10 minutes or until firm

Place on cookie sheet still covered and bake for approx 8-10 minutes

You know its done once it starts to brown

Remove, and let cool for a minute (to where its cool enough to peel back the paper)

How to Start Over in A New City with No Money and No Job

Posted on January 21, 2020 by Krissyar

Moving to a new city with limited funds can be done. For those in a similar situation and looking for a way out, the steps below can help you land in a new place with an income, friends, and a place to live.

 

Sell What You Can

Have a garage sale, sell your unwanted things online, sites like LetGo, eBay, Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. These are all great places to sell and get rid of your belongings. After all, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, right? Once you’ve successfully sold your things, your moving load will be lighter and your wallet a tad heavier. After you’ve unpacked, there’s really no need to keep empty boxes, crates, and other moving supplies around. Nor do you have to. There are actually websites like BoxCycle and Container Exchanger that help people sell their boxes and other items.

 

Do Your Research

Moving to a new city with limited funds isn’t a decision that should be made lightly. You need to take a look at both the cost of living in the city you’re intending to move to, as well as what your prospects might be for securing affordable housing and a job, among other things. There is plenty of free online cost of living calculators to compare two or more cities based on finances and other quality-of-life factors that will matter when you’re moving on the cheap. For example, Banff homes for sale are more costly than homes in nearby cities, so choose wisely.

 

Live Within Your Means and Save Money

If you’re still struggling to live within your means, take a hard look at your expenses. There is probably something you can cut out or at least cut down on. For example Gym memberships, hair and nail salons, cable TV, cell phone bills. Go through your bills and cancel any service you don’t use frequently. For the stuff you do use, call the provider and see if you can get a better deal, or at least cut it down.

 

Find A Job

Sign-up for email alerts to let you know when new jobs that match your criteria are listed. You’ll be able to set them up directly on company websites for major employers, as well as on job listing sites. You’ll receive an email as soon as a listing is posted, and you’ll be able to get your application in right away. Who do you know in the place you’re going to? Do you have family, friends, professional or college connections there? Everyone you know, and everyone they know, may be able to help you with your job hunt. Put the word out, very quietly if you’re still employed, that you’re looking to relocate to get job leads and other assistance. Use Facebook and Linkedin to your advantage!

Delicious Keto Creme Brulee

Posted on January 20, 2020 by Krissyar

Now creme brulee has always been one of my favorite desserts, so of course we had to come up with a great Keto version of it! What I love is its super simple, and taste soo much like the real thing you’ll hardly know its Keto! (To really make it just like they do in the restaurants, be sure to buy a culinary torch because that is really what makes this dessert!)

Can I freeze Keto Creme Brulee?

I would not recommend it. This is best served fresh and warm. The crunch from the sweetener on the top that you heat up with your torch is what makes the dessert, so you definitely don’t want to freeze it – however, you can make it ahead of time for a dinner in the evening, and just wait to bake it! 

Keto Creme Brulee

 

INGREDIENTS:

4 egg yolks
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 cups of heavy whipping cream
5 tbsp keto approved sweetener (I prefer monk fruit sweetener)

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 325 degrees

Whisk the egg yolks and the vanilla in a bowl until thoroughly mixed

Pour the heavy whipping cream and 1 tablespoon of the sweetener into a sauce pan heated to medium heat – whisk until combined, then add the second and third and forth tablespoons of sweetener, adding separately until fully combined, and whisk until simmering

Once simmering, remove from heat and add yolks slowly, while whisking, until combined

Divide evenly into 4 ramekins

Place the ramekins into a glass baking dish and pour boiling water inside the dish – be sure that it coves at least 1 inch on the sides of each ramekin

Bake in the oven on the middle rack for approx 30 minutes or until set

When done, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the sweetener over the creme brulee and use your culinary torch to heat the sweetener until its melted and golden

Steps to Cleaning Headlights

Posted on January 20, 2020 by Krissyar

Headlights are a super important safety feature on your car – whether it’s just driving at night, or in bad weather. Unfortunately just like anything else headlights can become dirty, dull and foggy which dulls the brightness and makes it less effective. These damages can occur from age, UV ray exposure or just damage from the elements.

                                          This post is sponsored by Akins Jeep Ram

If your lights aren’t as bright as they should be try these steps to clean your headlights:

LIQUID SOAP, BAKING SODA AND VINEGAR

With these three simple things, you can restore your headlights in just a few steps. Now if your headlights are gone-gone (yellowed, and really foggy) you might have to repeat these steps several times.
First clean the dust and dirt from the headlights with a microfiber cloth. Add 2 tablespoons of liquid soap to a bucket. Add enough water to thin the soap to more of a watery solution. Use a secondary microfiber cloth clean the headlight with the soap solution. What you’ll want to do is get the light as clean as possible before using the baking soda and vinegar mix. Rinse the soap off the headlights using a spray bottle of water and then towel dry the headlights.

Mix 1-2 tablespoons of baking soda with enough white vinegar to make a thick paste; using a dry cloth gently polish the headlamp with the paste. Rinse the paste off with a spray bottle of water and repeat until the lens is clean and clear.

HOW TO CLEAN HEADLIGHTS WITH TOOTHPASTE

Just like with the vinegar and baking soda, be sure to remove the dust and dirt with a clean cloth. Then spray the headlight with water using your spray bottle. Using an old toothbrush apply the toothpaste to the lens and gently scrub – be sure to use regular white toothpaste, not the gel. Rinse with water until toothpaste is gone and the headlight is clear!

HOW TO CLEAN HEADLIGHTS USING A HEADLIGHT RESTORATION KIT

These headlight restoration kits are a bit pricier than some vinegar, baking soda or toothpaste. But they can be very effective and safe for restoring headlights. Use them as directed, just apply the cleanser and rinse. It may also come with a waxing compound which helps protect from them from the light.

Helpful Hints: How to Jump Start a Vehicle

Posted on January 20, 2020 by Krissyar

Eventually it happens to all of us  – getting in your car, turning the key, and the car won’t start. Whether it’s something as simple as leaving your lights on all night or maybe you have an old battery that needs replaced,  you will need to be prepared and know how to jump start a vehicle.  From having jumper cables in your car, to know who to call for assistance, here are some tips on how to jump start a vehicle.

                                This post is sponsored by Martin Chrysler.

Before you head out, make sure that you have jumper cables in your emergency road kit. That way you will have them if you need them! So if someone stops to offer a hand, you already have the cables ready to be used! Now here’s the steps you need to take:

  • Park the two vehicles close together – but make sure they are NOT touching – and then turn them both off
  • Connect the positive jumper cable (usually the red one) to the positive terminal on the cars battery that won’t start. The positive battery terminal is marked with a plus sign, and the negative is marked with the minus sign. Be very careful not to touch either of them to any other metal or it could be deadly (electric shock)
  • Connect the other end of the positive cable to the positive battery terminal on the car that is providing the jump
  • Connect the negative cable (the black one) to the negative cable on the car providing the jump
  • Connect the other end of the negative cable to an exposed metal part on the car with the dead battery
  • Check that the cables are not anywhere near any moving engine parts
  • Start the vehicle that is giving the jump – and let it idle. If the battery is a few years old, or has been dead for awhile, you may need to rev the engine to booster the car to speed up the charging process
  • Start the ‘dead’ vehicle
  • If the ‘dead’ car starts, let it run for at least twenty minutes; if it doesn’t start, check the cable connections to make sure that they are on correctly (and tightly)
  • Keeping the jumper cables away again, from ANY metal, remove the black (negative) cable from the disabled vehicle (still keep the vehicle running)
  • Remove the other end of the negative cable from the battery of the vehicle giving the jump
  • Remove the positive cable from the battery of the jumper vehicle
  • Remove the positive cable from the previously disabled vehicle
  • Drive the jump started car at least for 30 minutes to keep the battery charging. Remember if the battery or alternator are not in good shape you may end up needing another jump start – be sure if this happens, you pull over somewhere safe and call for assistance!

If you don’t feel comfortable, be sure to call a professional service department.
