And I Like It - Keto and Gluten Free Treats — Restaurant in Irving

I have found this wonderful woman, Ericka McKim and her business And I Like It just at the right time in my life! Her products are amazing! Not only does she have awesome keto and diabetic friendly cheesecakes that are out of this world, she also offers sweeteners and a gluten free baking blend. I’ve been trying all of her products for myself and enjoying all of her cheesecakes and also her Stevia sweetener that’s really concentrated and you need just a tiny amount. I’ve been using it in my coffee and it’s perfect! But now I want to tell you about her sweetener called FirstRate! I went to Minnies Food Pantry to pick up a food box and they also gave me a bag of lemons. So, I got a craving for some homemade lemonade! I used to make lemonade for the girls in my house but with real sugar. Since I no longer eat sugar, I decided to try it out with FirstRate sweetener. So I squeezed a cup of lemon juice and threw it in the pitcher. Now, Erika suggested using only 3/4 cup of FirstRate instead of the usual 1 cup and instead of making a simple syrup, like I usually do for lemonade, I just added the FirstRate to the lemon juice and stirred it until it was dissolved and boy did it dissolve!! Then I added 6 to 7 cups of water tasting it until it was perfect! I think making lemonade this way is better using FirstRate than regular sugar. Plus I checked my blood sugar about 15 minutes after drinking a big glass of lemonade and my sugar was spot on! No rise at all! Goodbye sugar and Splenda! Hello FirstRate!! And yes, her cheesecake and pecans are to die for!! The cheesecakes and pecans are SO good! They have several flavors of cheesecake and they are perfect to satisfy my cravings for something sweet and without the guilt! I’m totally serious about her products. And with my post gastric sleeve weight loss journey, they are something I can eat and still stick to my diet plan. I am so happy with all of her products and she is an awesome lady too! Very smart and knowledgeable in everything keto and nutrition!...

Bare with me guys. I need you ALL to thoroughly understand how badly this business deserves 100+ stars!!!

I started Keto in 2019 and lost almost 60 pounds in a short period of time! I felt great!! With the anxiety and fear that the pandemic causes, it got really easy to turn back to sweets and foods to find comfort between my four walls. I was really scared to go anywhere. One day, my husband and I were traveling down the intersection of Coit and Beltline in November of 2020. I was hesitant about going, but I felt I needed some freedom. My husband and I masked up, and got out the car to explore a little. There was a small pop up shop in the parking lot with foods, crafts, goodies, and among all, And I Like It Cheesecakes. She was so kind, and her spirit pulled me to her booth, even though I knew I hadn’t been on keto in almost a year. She educated us about her products, and we were sold! I took home some cheesecakes, and pecans. I never knew that this day would change me. When I ate the sweets (more like DEVOURED them) I couldn’t believe I was tasting something so good (we know that some keto desserts are great for staying in ketosis, but don’t always taste the best). In all my time of being on keto, I had not tasted desserts that good. Something in me clicked. Just by eating your product, I KNEW I had to take my life back! This company’s professionalism and DELICIOUS products reminded me that I didn’t have to rely on unhealthy foods to find comfort. If you have came across this business and in any way have been hesitant to try it, DO IT!!! You will not regret the experience you’ll be given. It’s life changing ❤️ I will...

I found these cheesecakes thanks to Instagram, and I had to give them a try when I switched to low carb. So, for my birthday last year, I went to Total Nutrition and treated myself to one of every flavor! Y’all.. these are...Uh-mazzzzzing, and totally guilt free. It feels like I’m cheating on my diet, but.. I’m not! I don’t have a favorite; they’re all good and I always have some in stock. I recently tried the Lemon Blueberry, and it’s perfect! It even had real blueberries in it! The plain, is great, also. I always dress it up with pecans and sugar free caramel for a “turtle cheesecake” taste! My husbands favorite is the key lime. They freeze great also, and when I have a sweet tooth, I just pull one out of the freezer until it thaws and it tastes just as fresh! If you haven’t tried these, I recommend it! ASAP! You won’t regret it! In fact, I’m getting one out to eat now, as I...
