All Day I Dream About Food

All the best low carb keto recipes for a healthy lifestyle

4th Anniversary and a Swerve Giveaway!

All Day I Dream About Food turns 4 years old today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, little bloggity-blog! And Swerve Sweetener is kindly offering you a chance to win fun prizes to celebrate. Plus 10 of my best low carb, gluten-free cake recipes.

4 year giveaway

 I feel that I should wax poetic, make a big speech about my blog and everything it means to me. How it all started out on a whim, how I never expected anyone to be paying any attention and how amazed I am that I’ve built this baby into a full-time profession. All of which is very true. But more to the point, I am amazed by my readers; their loyalty and love is astonishing and keeps me going, even when times get tough. Every day, I get emails from people telling me that my recipes helped them stick to a healthier, low carb lifestyle. They thought they were destined for boring food and no sweet treats and having to rely on sheer willpower, and anyone who’s ever tried a diet knows how that goes! So I suppose you might say I have made it my life’s mission to turn that idea on its head. It started out with a selfish purpose, since I didn’t want to be stuck with boring food, no sweet treats and relying on sheer willpower to keep diabetes at bay. But it’s turned into so much more than that, a veritable community of people with the same goal: creating healthy and delicious food.

And Swerve Sweetener has generously offered to help me celebrate by donating a prize pack of goodies for you to create lovely low carb goodies at home. 4 of everything, including some of the coveted confectioner’s Swerve that’s been out of stock for a while. YAY! Check it out…

The Big 4 Swerve Giveaway!

 

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Besides a speech, I have the distinct feeling I should have made my blog a cake. Except my blog doesn’t have a mouth. I have a mouth, my husband has a mouth and my kids have mouths and we can do a cake some serious justice in this house. We ain’t afraid of no cake! But it seems kind of cruel to bake a cake for a blog that can’t eat it. However, in case YOU are in the mood to bake a cake for my blog, or you or someone you know has a birthday coming up, here are 10 of my best low carb cake recipes. All of which are perfect for celebrating a birthday, real or virtual! Any excuse to eat cake, right?

  2. Happy anniversary! All these recipes look great. Think I’ll start with the chocolate hazelnut mousse cake.

  3. Congrats, Carolyn! All of us out here living with the restrictions of blood sugar are SOOO appreciative of not only your delicious recipes, but also the research you do and knowledge you have about health and which products are good, etc. You are a trustworthy and adorable source for amazing low carb goodies. Thank you! I need to make the pumpkin cake with brown butter icing. How has this escaped me until now!? And drooling over the chocolate cake with sour cream icing. I need to make some practice cakes for my upcoming 40th bday. 🙂

    Reply

  6. Happy blog anniversary! I don’t have a website but I love using your recipes as inspiration for cooking/baking. As a Registered Dietitian, I love that you use erythritol in so many recipes – it is my favorite natural sweetener! It is the best alternative in terms of baking characteristics, nutritional profile, and (maybe most importantly) lack of GI upset as with other sugar alcohols due to its absorption mechanism. So, thank you for developing great recipes using this awesome ingredient!

    If I were to win the package, I’d definitely try to make low carb cinnamon rolls, maybe even pumpkin cinnamon rolls!

  9. Happy Anniversary!!!! Seriously chocolate cake and sour cream icing is just screaming my name! You just had to tease with all these pictures!!

  25. Happy birthday dreamy blog. I love the inspiration to cook (and bake!) low-carb, and I’m thankful that you, Carolyn, go to lots of work to test out quirky ingredients and come up with workable recipes. Thanks Swerve for the prizes. I’ve been waiting for confectioners Swerve for months!

  44. Congratulations Carolyn – and I sure wish I’d found you four years ago! I’ve been eating this way for a few years now and your recipes are definitely my favourites. There are so many I love, but the Brownie Cheesecake was to die for….. The only complaint I have is that since I live alone, I end up eating the same cake for a few weeks – even though I freeze portions – sigh…

    Reply

  46. Happy Anniversary! I found your site about 2 months ago and it has changed my low carb journey. I have a sweet tooth and all your recipes are satisifying my cravings without sacrificing the flavor. 🙂 I love Swerve!

  54. Happy anniversary!!!
    Your recipes are AMAZING! I have made your almond cake several times last week and was already planning on making it today. And my 14 yr old daughters birthday is next Mon and has already requested the chocolate peanut butter layer cake. Which is simply to die for!
    Thank you so much for all your hard work!

  57. I’m so glad you are here sharing your recipes with the world! Everything I’ve tried has been great. In fact,I will be having some skillet chocolate chip cookie with my coffee this am. So double thanks!

    Reply

  58. Just made your dark chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting for my birthday, today! Oh, man, and is it ever a happy birthday to me. That frosting, Carolyn. I was eating it with a spoon last night. I will surely be making that recipe again!

  62. The Internet is a wondrous thing when it comes to information. Your blog is my top spot to go to find new recipes!

    Reply

  66. Congratulations on four years of using your gifts and talents to help so many, me and mine included! What a difference you have made! Thanks for the recipes, the introduction to a healthier way of baking and – not exaggerating here – the restoration of a beloved hobby and essential part of who I am. Thanks!

    I love Swerve and have a huge list of “goodies to try” but I think the chocolate eclair cake is at the top of the list as it looks decadent and perhaps a bit challenging. Can’t wait to try the custard.

    Reply

  67. Chocolate Chip Cookies!! I make a big batch, scoop the dough into little balls of yumminess and freeze them. When I’m cooking dinner at night (or reheating leftovers HA) it’s easy to set a couple out to thaw. By the time dinner’s over we have wonderful fresh hot chocolate chip cookies. Congratulations on the anniversary. Thanks for all you share!

  68. These flavors are always my go-to so this would be first. Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Layer Cake

  78. Great giveaway to celebrate! Because of your blog, I ordered Swerve and love it. This blog has been a godsend with needing to eat low carb during my pregnancy but still enjoying the occasional sweet treat. 🙂

    Reply

  81. Congratulations on your 4th year anniversary. This is an amazing site! I have made quite a few of your recipes and recommended this site to everyone that shows any interest in low carb,gluten free or sugar free recipes. My favorite was the pumpkin spice cake. There I learned what whey powder can do for the structure in gluten free baking. Thank you Carolyn for all the wonderful recipes and knowledge that you share! Here’s to another 4 years and beyond!

    Reply

  82. Happy anniversary! So happy I discovered this blog a few weeks ago after my gestational diabetes decided to stick around too! My husband’s birthday is next week. Think I’m going to have to try making the dark chocolate peanut butter layer cake!

  83. Happy anniversary Carolyn. I am a devoted follower. I think I like baking your way better than eating “regular” baked goods. I’ll use swerve to make some yummy chocolate treats … Maybe brownie donuts.

  84. Me again, forgot to say that I want to make the dark chocolate peanut butter cake, and serve it with your updated recipe of chocolate peanut butter ice cream. Might be overkill or chocolate peanut butter bliss.

  88. Coconut cream pie, or really any of the recipes where I’ve been wanting that elusive confectioners swerve!!!!!

  89. Four already-you age so well! It’s all that clean eating I do believe! I gave up baking for myself and my diabetic mother ages ago and started baking just for the dogs! Sure, the poochies are thrilled with their homemade treats but I missed having a little something too! Thanks to you Carolyn and your amazing website everything’s changed! I can now indulge, guilt free, and have been introduced to so many great ingredients I never would have tried on my own! Here’s to many more birthdays!! Oh, making the Coconut Layer Cake and can’t wait!!

  107. What WON’T I make?!? I use it for so many things, but probably the first would be one of my avocado “milk” shakes.

    • And thanks for introducing me to Swerve! We love it and use it in all our desserts now. I just made your coconut cake and already my hubby is asking for more…having four bags of sweetener will keep us in cake for a while.

      Reply

  111. I would use the Swerve set to make most of the coconut recipes in a previous blog. Mmm, first the carrot cup cakes.

  133. I would make a delicious cheesecake for my family and one for my coworkers. They always love the food I make for them. I try my best to help everyone eat healthy.

    Reply

  135. Happy 4th Anniversary! I bet if you would take those 4 years of recipes and put them in a spiral bound binder and call them something like Carolyn’s Dream Low Carb recipes, you would make a killing, and have to do multiple printings! I too have had nothing but success with your recipes, and the sweet recipes are to die for! Even though I am lactose intolerant and can’t make so many any more, I still come to look. I’m trying to get my mom to go low carb b/c I know it would be so much better for her health, but it’s a slow go. I bet you any $$ that if I were to bake up a few sweet things for her to eat every week, she’d stop going to the grocery store and stocking up on her old sweet junk. I’m always recommending your website as one of my favorite to turn the tide on low carb indulgences. Congratulations again! P.S. Can’t wait to try the root beef float cupcakes!

    Reply

    • For Pete sake! Root beef float cupcakes – my mind is going, but my sense of humor is still intact, and I’m not backing down! I just found out that a prescription medicine that I was taking for my thyroid was giving me all these “dairy intolerant,” symptoms and more! So, I’m weaning myself off it for a while, and will try a few more unconventional methods for getting that critter (my thyroid) back under control, and maybe I won’t have that “dairy intolerance,” any more. One can only hope! On the plus side, both my husband and I adore your Coffee Walnut Dacquoise. Before I went low carb, I had taken some baking classes, and was introduced to a Dacquoise, at a local community college and we made this “standard” cake, but this is so much better! And I loved that it was low carb. I’ve even toyed with the idea of making “personal pan” Dacquoise so they could be transported better.

      But, I would totally welcome a dairy free option on any sweet good, b/c know there are a lot of folks out there who have this affliction. Thank you again Carolyn, for all you do and are.

  140. This is the first gf/sf site that I came across a couple years ago and where I initially learned about Swerve. I remember how excited I was to come across a sugar substitute that doesn’t give you cancer. The site has been a God send for my autistic daughter with gut issues that I have been trying to heal for so long and she is doing so much better after being gf/sf. Best of all, she can have cupcakes and deserts now instead of just watching the other kids eat theirs!!! Thanks for starting this blog Carolyn, we are so grateful!!!

    Reply

  144. Love your blog!! I am excited to try out a bunch of your recipes, as my husband was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I already eat low carb, but now we’re both eating low carb and he’s being extremely diligent about every item that he puts in his mouth. Swerve has been a godsend for us so of course we’d love to win!!!

  228. Congratulations! It’s fabulous that you’ve been able to make a full-time career out of providing wonderful recipes for those of us who have discovered a healthier way of eating!

    I only came across your blog a couple of months ago but have already made a number of your recipes with great success. The latest was the Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie:

    https://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/2014/02/skillet-chocolate-chip-cookies-low-carb-and-gluten-free.html

    Even my eldest son, who usually turns up his nose at my low carb offerings, declared it really good. No he’s not a kid, but has been pretty skeptical of how good my food can be.

    We’re having it again tonight, although my husband will go out and get some ice cream to go with it.

    I have a long way to go before I run out of making your goodies, maybe I should have dessert 3 times a day! Just kidding 🙂

    I just ordered the 22 lb bag of Swerve and can’t wait until it gets here so that I can make more yummy treats.

  232. Happy anniversary!!! I just LOVE your blog. It is my go-to for lowcarb recipes and the recipes always come out great!!!! Thank you for your hard work!!!!

    I was flown out to Tuscan as a brand new Holistic Wellness Coach teaching the Keto diet to a couple. I made 3 of your great recipes and they were a big hit. Even their sugar addicted brother liked them and the 94 year old Mom loved them too! And they were: Dark Chocolate Walnuts, Pumpkin Scones and Blueberry Cheesecake Coffeecake, with Swerve of course!
    ( Good writing you do as well.)
    Love,

  247. Oh, my, what a tantalizing giveaway! I’ve been wanting to try Swerve, but haven’t found any locally so I guess it means ordering online — and soon 😉 Cheesecake is calling my name — so that would be my choice — luscious. cheesecake. oh. yes.

  251. Well, since I would love to use Swerve on all of my sweet treat/dessert recipes, I’d have to narrow it down to a mock Snickers candy that I love!

  254. Congrats, Carolyn! I’m one of the many who are SO grateful that you’re here doing what you do every day ♥
    The eclair cake is screaming for me to make it! Oh, and as of yesterday, the only place I could find Swerve confectioners sugar (that wasn’t in 50 pound bags), was on Amazon for $15. WHAT?! I’ve still never tried it, but I’d love to!

  314. Happy anniversary, Carolyn! I would love to try those root beer float cupcakes! I do miss root beer floats!

    I have a story to share about Swerve. I was recently in a health foods store (one of two stores in our entire state that the Swerve website lists as selling their products) about an hour from my home, and I attempted to redeem a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for Swerve. The store manager was reluctant to accept the coupon because it expired the next day, and he wouldn’t be able to get it to his coupon redemption facility before the expiration date. I was very disappointed, and he proceeded to call the Swerve company and explain his dilemma. They told him to go ahead and take care of his customer (me!) and they would send him some free product to compensate for his inconvenience. Now, that’s a company I can fully support!

  315. I will be trying out all the desserts that have Lemon in them, Cinnamon in them, Chocolate in them, Peanut Butter in them, Coconut in them…have I left anything out?

I think it was the Nantucket tart? Anyway, I took it to work and it only lasted a few minutes. There are a few diabetics here and they actually wanted seconds. One commented that it was great to be able to have a sweet that wouldn’t do him in! Certainly a testament to your inventive ways with sweets. Keep them coming!

I’m so excited to have learned about your blog, I’m feeling more positive about long term success on keto. So if I won the Swerve pack, I would definitely make the Cinnamon Roll Scones. Or the Almond Flour Cinnamon Rolls. Or maybe the Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake:) Thanks for doing all you do!

  467. Congratulations and Happy 4th Blog Birthday! Thank you for all your great recipes and educational blogs. Not realizing it was your blogiversary, I spent Fri, Sat, & Sun making low carb breakfast recipes for my Father-in-law who recently commented that there wasn’t much he could eat for breakfast and was tired of eating eggs every day (he had actually skipped breakfast that morning when my husband stopped by – not good for a diabetic!). He loved all of them and Monday morning was happy to have so many choices for breakfast. I had worked with your other, usually dessert recipes that I felt comfortable to just dig in and start cooking without caustiously making only one or two things for him to tryfirst. He has loved all of them!

    Reply

  470. This is such a great giveaway! My husband can’t have sugar due to blood sugar issues and winning this would be amazing. I would have to make his favorite, banana bread. I’ve never seen sugar free powered sugar though, so I’ll have to find a good recipe to use that in. I’ve missed cooking recipes using that.

    Reply

    • Hey Jessica – I found a way to ‘fake’ powdered sugar, and it works. We don’t have Swerve, so I’m using Truvia Baking Blend. To make powdered sugar, you put some corn starch with the sugar, and put it in a food processor. Chop it until it’s fine and resembles powdered sugar. The ratio is 1 tsp corn starch per 1 cup Baking Blend. You can find this on the Truvia website. Hope this helps – but having powdered Swerve would solve both our problems!

  471. Happy Anniversary! This is perfect because I came to your site craving cupcakes. Thank you for all that you do.

    Reply

  472. Happy Anniversary!! Wow, this is crazy how many followers and readers you have! I just stumbled across your blog when my husband searched for low-carb desserts. He sent me three of your recipes and told me to get started! We don’t have Swerve sweetener around here, so I’ve had to use another erythritol sugar substitute. I feel like I’m missing out! By the way, our favorite so far is the Sea Salt Almond Bark – it is amazing, and I’m not a fan of dark chocolate. Sure hope I’m the big winner! Thanks for the opportunity 🙂

    Reply

    • Thanks, Krystal! Plain erythritol is good, it just isn’t quite as sweet and some people find it has a distinct cooling effect in the mouth. I don’t find that at all with Swerve. Enjoy the recipes!

  474. Happy anniversary! I am so thankful for the creativity and inspiration you bring to the low carb world. I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes almost a year ago and found your blog shortly after my diagnosis. It has seriously been life changing for me! Thank you again!

  482. Happy blog anniversary! I have not had a chance to try any of these recipes because I don’t have any swerve sweetener but if I win I will definitely be making a cake for my husband’s birthday in June. Something chocolate. Thank you for the opportunity 🙂

  484. Happy Anniversary! This blog has become my go to place for low-carb inspiration. I always come here for help when I want to sweeten up this way of eating. Thank you for pointing me towards Swerve Sweetener, too! I love it. I have used it in several of your ice cream recipes, and I can’t wait to try the brownie cheesecake. Thanks for all you do, and here’s hoping many more happy years of blogging and inspiring others! ♥

  496. Hi Carolyn, thank you so much for everything that you do. You are truly an amazing and talented person. If I were to win the giveaway I would love to make your classic chocolate birthday cake with coconut sour cream frosting for my type 1 diabetic niece she absolutely loves chocolate! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to your blog!!

  497. Congratulations on four years! It has been a true blessing to find your blog. You’ve made this low carb journey so much easier, and for that I’m grateful. If I win, I think will start with the brownie cheesecake (again) and follow it with your lemon squares (the ones that have the shortbread crust with cheesecake on top–already made these several times). My goodness, where to begin! 🙂

  499. Hello my name is Lashaundra and I’m an addict. I LOVE carbs especially sweets however I changed my entire mindset about food 2 years ago when I lost my triplet daughters. I’m hoping to suppress my PCOS by eating whole foods and low carb and someday have a healthy pregnancy. I was soooo excited when I found your recipes for all the foods I have a love/hate relationship with. They are so simple and practical. Other sites were exhausting just looking at the list of impossible to find ingredients. I have already enjoyed several of your recipes but with swerve sweetener I would definitely make the Classic Chocolate Birthday Cake with Chocolate Sour Cream Frosting!

  502. I am making your cupcake recipe RIGHT NOW for my little boys’s 10th birthday…. only making it as a layer cake and using Swerve confectioners for the frosting. We had to go off sugar when he was 3 years old… this is his FIRST cake with “real” birthday frosting. ps: a friend loaned me her layer cake molds. They are a special kind of glass spun silicone, so no greasing and just POPS out like magic. If you get a chance Caroline, check out those molds by a company called Demarle. LOVE your site. You are a godsend to helping keep my kids happy and compliant on this diet plan and healthy blood sugar levels.
