Sweet Saturday | Fruit Leather, Pop Tarts, & Pizza

It’s the weekend! Today I did a lot of cooking, as I was kind of inspired by yesterday’s news to make some good for me food.

This evening a made an outstanding fathead pizza over at my friends place. He’s been doing keto over the last month and it’s nice to have a friend who is also eating healthy. He’s actually lost twenty pounds over the last month which is really great!

This morning I made some low carb pop tarts. I started by making fathead dough, and adding a quarter cup of sweetener to the dough. Then I pressed it thin with my tortilla press, poked holes in the top piece, and put some sugar free strawberry jam on the bottom one.

After laying the top one over, I gently pressed them together with a fork and put them in the oven at about 275°F until the edges started to brown. I then took them out of the oven and let them cool before putting them in a bag to store for later. Well, I did eat one and it was really good!

A little of the jam leaked out of the poptarts, but it gave me another idea. It was a lot like fruit leather, so I got some jam out and spread some around on the pan and put it back in the oven.

I left the oven temp still kind of low like the pastries, and kept them in there until the edges started puffing up and the middle had set. I think they should have been in a little longer, or a lot longer and lower heat because even after I took them out and let them sit to cool down for a while, they were still a little wet but still good. It’s kind of like candy because it tears like fruit roll ups and when you eat it it sticks to your teeth, lol.
