Friday Favorites

Every Friday I take a look back at the week and share my new finds, foods, funnies, or simply life that has happened through the week that made me smile!

In case you didn’t already know, I call it my Friday Favorites!

This one is pretty random.

 

Favorite # ONE

History!

This past Saturday we celebrated our country’s independence.  The celebration of the fourth of July is a tradition that goes back to the 18th century and the American Revolution.  It is a commemoration of the adoption of the 1776 Declaration of Independence, a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson.

There are times that I don’t have a whole lot to say, so I’ll resort to quoting random historical facts.

Nevertheless, history is a good thing and a subject that I love.

In my last post I mentioned that Stephanie and Amanda came by to visit.  They came back again on this weekend and we had a very small July 4th celebration.

Later in the week Amazon came by and delivered my

Favorite # THREE

Hair Dryerand Styler

I’m not sure why it is spelled that way on the box.

Amazon calls it the

“Hot Air Brush,Hair Dryer Brush, Professional Hair Dryer & Volumizer 3 in 1 Upgrade Anti-scald Negative Ionic Technology Hair Straightener Brush, Salon Negative Ion Ceramic Electric Blow Dryer”. 

I’ve learned that you have to let your hair air dry for awhile before using this little tool.  Otherwise you’ll be spending a long time working with it.

Keto Biscuits

recipe by Gretchen at FitMomJourney

Keto Biscuits

  • Servings: 12
  • Difficulty: easy
  • Print

Ingredients

  • 1 cup + 2 Tbsp. Almond Flour, chilled
  • 2 Tbsp. Cold, Salted Butter
  • 1 tsp. Baking Powder
  • 3/4 cup Cold Egg Whites
  • 1/4 tsp. Salt

Instructions

Chill your almond flour and butter in the fridge for 20 minutes in your food processor’s bowl.

Once chilled, pulse the almond flour and butter in your food processor until the butter has been cut in enough that it forms pea-sized pieces.

Add in the baking powder and salt, pulsing once more to combine.

Gradually add in the egg whites while pulsing the dough, until everything is just combined. Do not over process the dough – don’t worry it will be lumpy, and that’s ok.

Use a cookie scoop to place the biscuits on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, then bake at 400 for 12-14 minutes, until golden brown.

It wasn’t the prettiest biscuit I’ve ever made, but it wins the prize for fewest calories!
