London Fog Latte

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve enjoyed my hot tea “light and sweet”. Who knew I was drinking a designer beverage my whole life? Here my standard recipe is dressed up a bit with frothed milk and a touch of vanilla. Some versions dress it up even more by including a few dried lavender buds. Either way, it’s a perfect afternoon treat.

Notes

• Feel free to use your favorite dairy or nondairy milk.

• If you don’t have a milk brother, you can use a personal blender, immersion blender, or shake in a jar with a tight fitting lid for 30-60 seconds (being sure there’s a lot of air in the jar).

• Vanilla syrup can be used in place of the vanilla extract and sweetener of choice.

• Earl Grey tea is traditional, but English Breakfast is another favorite of mine. Use whatever tea you love.

Keto Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy

Bangers and Mash is a British meal traditionally made with mashed potatoes, but today I’ve opted to switch out the potatoes for mashed loaded cauliflower in order to make the meal more keto-friendly. Don’t get me wrong, potatoes are my all-time favorite vegetable, but for 1/5 the carb load, I don’t mind subbing cauliflower now and then. With yummy additions like cheese and bacon, I promise you won’t miss the spuds.
