    Hi Andres!

    Love your recipes, thank you :-)) I don’t know if you need any suggestions or requests, but I do have a couple I’d love to see.
    I like the low carb caramel sauce, so perhaps a LC chocolate sauce?
    And of course, everyone loves brownies! Perhaps the ultimate brownie?

    In any case, keep up the great work, love your blog!

I’ve followed your recipe exactly and am just dying to try it! Got another hour or so to cook but I had to taste and it’s wonderful already! Keep up the good work!

    This was awesome!! I used one large tomato and a can of diced tomatoes – believe the carbs balance out. Could you more chili powder or a jalapeño you kick it up a notch. Added sour cream and shredded cheese. This recipe is a keeper!!

    I followed this recipe, but with a few variations. I used ground turkey instead of ground beef and I only used 6oz of tomato paste instead of 8oz. I’m not sure if using the ground turkey is keto friendly or not, but I don’t eat much red meat. Today was my first time cooking chili, and it turned out great! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
