On a trip to Old Quebec City, I fell off the keto wagon for their famed maple pie. On the way home, we stopped in Stowe, Vermont. You could say I wasn't the most keto-rific spokesperson at that point, and I got the first bowl of pasta I’d eaten in eight months. I oohed and aahed through the whole meal and then spent several weekends coming up with a keto gnocchi recipe to share these savory flavors. I didn’t plan to blab about my walk off the keto plank, but if anyone figures out a keto maple pie, I’ll be first in line.
