Delicious Stuffed Mushrooms (Keto Friendly)

I love to cook especially for my family. But recently my Sister is on a new Keto diet and has been trying to stay away from her sweet ooey gooey Sister and all my tantalizing treats. I miss her so much I have even google searched Keto and learned all about it. A keto diet is basically a low carb diet, your body produces ketones in the liver to be used as energy. It’s a low carb high fat diet that kicks your body into Ketosis a super weight loss mode. I was interested and Ive even been trying some new recipes.
