Quick and easy 2 ingredient fudge. 1 can of keto chocolate frosting, the next ingredient Lily’s chocolate chips is the small bag. Not sure how much is in it but it’s not the one you had today it’s the smaller bag. Heat the chips in the microwave until melted then take the foil paper off the top of the frosting can and heat the frosting until it is liquid pour the frosting over the chips stir everything together and put in the refrigerator for a couple of hours add any nut you want at the time you add the frosting or any other thing you wanna put in. I got this frosting recipe when this lady I’m at church had a Christmas party for the youth leaders at her home. I have I have eaten fudge a lot of places, but her fudge was the best. She laughed when I asked for the recipe and told me just a bag of chocolate chips and a can of frosting melt them all together and cool it in the refrigerator. Oh my goodness it is fantastic the quickest fudge you can ever make. I have even made the fudge with just melting the cake icing just a little and let the chocolate chips pull it all together and it turned out smooth edit text no time for it to harden for it to be cut. I’m trying the recipe with peanut cake icing, peanut butter is not quite as thick enough so you can add some packet swerve to it to help. It hold together.

[@nolliesteers3083]

I enjoy all your videos. ❤❤❤

[@maryhunter336]

Leslie I would love more of these kind of recipes. I'm a diabetic and trying to cut down on my carbs.

[@oubmrsooner1]

I have worn them for many years. 1 relax , 2 make sure you blink lots and get them really tear saturated. I know how you feel,just be patient and above all, don’t get in a hurry !

[@joanfels6641]

I lost 46 lbs. with 20 net carbs. I counted cheese as 0 and also eggs as 0. I have never heard that eggs have 1 carb. I have kept it off for a year.

[@pattyford2228]

Love the keto recipes!!!

[@kathywilson8024]

You look good with out your glasses but you look FANTASTIC with your glasses you sport your glasses very well You are one person that glasses looks fantastic on I found contacts are more cost wise sometimes you still have to wear glasses if something going on with your eye so you still have to wear your glasses ,contact can be worry some

[@lindapeterson8717]

Taking out your contacts... make sure your thumb and pointer fingers are dry and then just open eye kinda pinch. Good luck!

[@leeannekenison2957]

Everything looked wonderful. Mount Olive also makes no sugar added bread and butter pickle chips and they are yummy. Hope to see more treats like this, along with some more sweet treat ideas. Thank you so much!

[@marysewitsky4823]

Pour boiling water down your drains for the gnats

[@kewpiefan72]

Bifocal contacts are wonderful! I use lots of rewetting drops to really hydrate the lens before even trying to remove it.

[@cristywyndham-shaw5111]

Loving your food choices!

[@kathybaker6798]

I just love your down to earth ways!! Keto I don’t understand !

[@patnewton4191]

I was taught to carefully squeeze the contact between your finger, it will fold naturally and pull it out

[@sheliaanderson1890]

Use the pads of your fingertips to take them out kind of towards the bottom of the contact and squeeze your fingertips gently. To put them, in look to the left or right and put them on your eye. Practice makes perfect!

[@susanwoodard4094]

My family also makes the eggs with mayo, mustard, and vinegar. Love them ❤ Yours look good, though 😊 I have also come to love green olives in my egg salad and my deviled eggs

[@cherylagnew5980]

Enjoyed your video very much ! Thank you so much for sharing these recipes ! 👍😋👍♥️♥️♥️🥰

[@rebeccaburleton1373]

I am excited to try all of these yummy treats! I have been eating keto for over a year and I am always on the hunt for delicious low carb recipes! I would love it if you sprinkle more in when you can! Thank you! Hang in there with the contacts! You will be a pro before you know it!

[@maggieslifeisawildride512]

YUM!!!

[@brendah4773]

I used to wear contacts 18:12 Eventually, I stopped. Got tired of the expense and the upkeep/maintenance 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

Cracklins are my thing my Grandmother made them all the time.

[@gerrismith4570]

I very much enjoyed the low carb snack recipes. Thank you.

[@michele4903]

Regarding you contacts, make sure your hands are clean and dry when to take you contacts out. Just pinch you contacts and they should come right out. If your eyes are dry, it might be harder to get out.

[@user-fj1nj6mi7i]

Hey Leslie! I wanted tell you that I call Deviled eggs Angel eggs. Don’t wanna give the Devil any glory! Just a suggestion. Love your channel. It’s my favorite cooking and inspirational combo on Utube. Thank you!!

[@helenguilford7510]

I love that you are doing recipes that are carb/keto friendly. My husband and I were just diagnosed with diabetes. Thank you for the snack ideas.😊

[@donnaregenauer2757]

Hello from KY love you and your family and your channel ❤️.Hi Leslie great snacks.I have worn contacts for 50 years.The way I was taught us always wash your hands before putting in or taking out.i always put in and take out over the sink with the stopper so don't go down drain.Take your clean finger and touch the contact while bringing it down your eye the take your index finger and thumb and gently pinch and you should have it out,then put fresh solution in your case and put it in there.They have a slight tint so you can tell if you were to drop them.good luck with them they are everything.Try not to poke your eyes.That redness will go away.❤

[@cathylongstreth5405]

Just lost 100 pounds through gastric bypass, but want to go a little further and keto sounds doable for both my husband and me. I would appreciate more of these recipes and tips!

[@kimlytton2523]

You go girl. Everything looked really really delicious. Thank you so much for sharing healthy low carb for us. I need that myself, I'm diabetic. Both sides of family. Never heard of cottage cheese fudge. All of these are doable and don't take a lot of ingredients or time. That's a plus. I'm sure it was all delicious. Everything you prepare is out of this world on video. Just wish we could taste as well. Lol. Proud of you. You will get use to contacts. I'm an eye glass wearer myself. Eyes very sensitive. God bless ya'll. Stay safe. Love y'all. ❤❤❤

[@joycebecerra9020]

More please.

[@sherryrowlett7345]

[@ramonadooley2628]

So enjoyed this one today . I needed the encouragement . Need to loose weight to have my hip replaced . And diabetic so need low carbs . ❤

[@dani71johnson]

As far as the contacts go, first I put a drop or two of the rewetting drops in my eyes. Then I look to the left and pull the contact onto the white part and just pinch it off. It comes right off. I put them in basically the same way, but I blink a lot and they go right into place. I can’t look directly at my finger while putting it in my eye. Lol As for all the recipes, they look so yummy I want to try the sausage balls the most!❤

[@tonyabelcher7158]

Oh my heavens......Macs are at my Wal-Mart in Alabama. They are Amazing!!!!

[@sharoncrippen7385]

I worn contacts for years, just getting started it will take you longer because this is new for you to do. What helped me was to take your index finger and your thumb. With your thumb put under your eye and pull down, take your index finger and pull your upper lid up keeping your eye open as wide as you can. Taking your finger with the other hand, the one that feels most comfortable to you to use. Open your eye open as wide as you can and with the other finger on the the other hand and hold it as close to your eye and the suction of your eye it should go in.

[@mariewinningham7571]

Please continue to do low carb videos 💓

[@eugenewilkerson1307]

Thanks I’m going to make both meatballs.

[@kathrynsurles299]

CONTACTS--Left hand-hold eyelid up, look down, right hand finger-slide contact down onto bottom of eye. Right hand-pull out. This is the way my doctor taught me to do it. It took me a couple weeks of practice to get comfortable with them. I wore them for about 30 years. Then eyes got too dry (age) and had to wear glasses for a couple of years. Now, after cataract surgery, I'm 20/20. Good luck. Don't give up.

[@barbaragibbs1365]

I missed how you cooked the meatballs! I want to make those sausage balls!❤️

[@lindalopez3916]

Great video! I have been looking for low carb snacks. I really want to try that “fudge”.

[@sandyjolley9810]

I haven't seen the fudge recipe. Which one is it on?

You don’t need make up you have beautiful skin

[@suzannest-laurentdvorak459]

Original ingredients for this recipe I found was using dark chocolate which has no or very little sugar and better for you and if needed you can add a bit of sweetener. Makes it better for anyone trying to avoid sugar.

[@charlottetyus6810]

Girl, your skin is soo pretty! You hardly need to wear makeup.. I’ve been wearing contacts for 53 years… Always have great eye checkups! Great video, Leslie!!

[@melissawilliams7224]

I use the vinegar and dish soap solution also but I did some research a few weeks ago and I found out that gnats breed in-house plant dirt and in trash cans. They carry a worm germ/ parasite and yes some people can get the worm from them but all of them don’t carry it but some of them do. They hate cinnamon, literally hate it. They WILL NOT breed in the dirt of a house plant if cinnamon is sprinkled on top of the dirt. I also sprinkled a little bit on my counters etc. and when I did it caused them to fly into the vinegar mixture, once the cinnamon was sprinkled. I also noticed 3 mosquitoes went into the vinegar mixture. When I did research on the mosquitoes I found out they hate peppermint. They do because I’ve rubbed peppermint oil on my arms and legs to go outside and I don’t get bit when I do that. Oh yeah gnats do bite. And when they bite they can leave the worm germ in a persons skin but they can also leave it on the food and they especially like fruit. A gnats life is only 4 to 6 weeks and they will lay their eggs during that time and eggs hatch out without the Gnats presence. The reason gnats fly into a persons face, mouth, up their nose and in their eyes is because gnats are attracted to the water in their eyes and believe it or not they’re attracted to a person’s breath.

[@bridgetgreene2457]

Yes Leslie, it was nice having you show these .. they all look amazing !! I hope you get used to your contacts ! Blessings to you all..

[@pammiedoodle8693]

Sausage balls are my kryptonite, so I’m curious to try this recipe! Thanks for sharing all these recipes and I hope you’ll do more!😋 Blessings 🙏

[@lindasegraves6207]

Leslie, I wore soft contacts for over 35 years until I had cataract surgery so now I wear no corrective lense. 2 tips if your eyes are dry your contacts will be difficult to remove. Put a drop of contact tear drops or contact moisturizer in each eye before removing your contacts. Wait 2-5 minutes then remove your contacts. Tip 2, I place my 3rd & 4th finger to the side of my eye (not going to the front of my eye) then I lightly squeeze my contact and they should come out. Repeat on the other eye. I hope you can understand and are successful trying my tips.

[@tammyrexroad8020]

[@Julies-in-a-mood]

50-year contacts wearer here. Don’t give up! Word of advice: while you get used to removal, do not wait until bedtime to take your lenses out. When you’re tired, you’ll have the least amount of patience with the process, & it could feel helpless. You can do it!

[@lisamarx9835]

Hi Leslie one time my sister lost a contact on the floor we all was on our knees crawling around looking for it. Lol . The snacks look yummy. Went to a farm market for corn and green beans. God bless
