Hi, my name is Sam, some people call me “sammysamgirl“.
Prior to going full-time with Mouthwatering Motivation, I worked in French bakery and later worked for a nutrition supplement company for several years, as I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in Foods and Nutrition. Since starting this blog and sharing my recipes, I’ve been able to partner with amazing brands including: Keto Bars, Stoka bars, Simply Delish, Modern Mountain Flour, The Keto Box, Built Bars, Ratio Bars and more!
On top of this, I have been lucky enough to create my own product, “The Mouthwatering Motivation Keto Bread & Pastry Flour“, aka “The Keto Flour“. We had an amazing run in 2021 with this product. It’s currently not for sale as we work on relocating it to the United States (I’m in Canada myself). If you’d like to learn more about it, you can visit here. (Click on the update at the top of that page for the latest Keto Flour news).
I am a past figure competitor, and at one point in my life I survived on a bodybuilder’s diet consisting of the basics; chicken breast, spinach and egg whites. Thankfully, I now live a more balanced lifestyle, meaning I still spend plenty of time in the gym but my passion for food and baking has resulted in a MUCH better and more sustainable diet.. (aka the Keto diet!)
I started this blog in the name of my former blog “www.mouthwateringmotivation.wordpress.com” where I once shared some pretty tasty, healthy recipes (if I do say so myself). But as I made my way into the ever-growing platform known as Instagram and quickly gained a new following, .. that poor old blog saw it’s last post over 2 years ago.
So after a long time away, here I am getting back to blogging. To be honest I have missed it! Sure, Instagram is great but I find it lacks the more personal feel of a blog-not to mention the endless photos I can include with each post (I’m highly indecisive when it comes to choosing just one).
On this new blog you’ll find only the best of my endless baking attempts as I set out on a difficult quest to re-create or “ketofy” as many recipes as I can. This means bumping up the protein content, increasing healthy fats and fibre, lowering the carbs/ sugar and more.
If you’re willing to embark on this keto & low carb journey with me, then give this blog a follow and check out the recipe index.
