About

Kim makes refined sugar free recipes for everyday eating

Hello, I'm Kim, and I'm passionate about creating heathy recipes that are lower in both sugar and calories.

My area of expertise lies in creating sugar-free desserts, sugar-free baking, sugar free snacks and crafting dinners under 500 calories, often with an Asian twist.

Low Calorie Chicken recipes, Low Calorie Slow Cooker, and Low Calorie Meal Prep are my favorites.

About The Recipes

All the recipes you find on My Sugar Free Kitchen are naturally sweetened, with natural sweeteners like monkfruit, dates, or sugar-free maple syrup. On the very odd occasion, I may use a tablespoon or two of honey if the recipe can't be made any other way.

My aim is to keep my recipes as simple as possible by using everyday, easy to find ingredients, whilst keeping them low in sugar, and high on the taste, texture and flavor scale.

I want to show you how to make sugar free desserts and low calorie dinners using natural sweeteners that will help you to cut back on sugar without sacrificing taste or flavor.

Familiar recipes re-imagined into a healthier low sugar/no sugar alternative.

A Little Bit About Me

As a kid and teenager I grew up eating lots of processed and sugary foods like high sugar cereals, cakes, biscuits, slices, chocolates, and chips. I always struggled with my weight and I knew it was because of my diet. There was lots of food that came in boxes with ingredients I couldn't pronounce, and only minimal fresh fruit and veges.

For years I struggled with lack of energy, fatigue, skin problems and my cravings were off the charts.

About 15 years ago, I completely changed the way I ate. I began cooking from scratch, eating way more fruits and veg and cutting out refined sugars.

I started to read cookbooks like they were novels, taking in every bit of information on healthy eating that I could. I also become obsessed with watching cooking shows 24/7.

I learnt about flavors, spices, cuts of meat, how to use a slow cooker, a pressure cooker, and how to bake from scratch for the first time. All the while experimenting and adjusting so that the recipes I made had little to no added sugars, but tasted delicious.

This process of experimentation taught me how to use natural sweeteners like dates, apricots, figs, and monkfruit.

This proved to me I could make healthy and delicious food without all the added sugars. I didn't want to give up my comfort foods, chocolate, desserts or my love of spicy Asian dishes. So I re-invented them here, in my growing collection of healthy and clean recipes.

I've immersed myself in the world of sugar-free recipes, accumulating over 15 years of practical experience and knowledge refining my skills in ingredient substitution, to create just the right balance of sweetness, texture, and flavor across my recipe collection.

What Others are Saying...

I’ve made a lot of chocolate cakes and cupcakes over the years but this is now my favourite. It’s rich but, for sugar-free, I loved it!

Patricia on Sugar Free Chocolate Avocado Cake

Omg YUM!! These exceeded expectations. They really are the best ever Anzac biscuits

Sarah on Healthy Anzac Biscuits

This was an absolute winner! Delicious. Hubby agreed we add this dish to our regular meal rotation. Thank you.

Margy on Chinese Mongolian Chicken

MY DAD LOVED THIS!!!! I made this dessert for my dad for Thanksgiving. He always says that the portions of desserts are too small, but the nutrition in this one allowed him to have a bigger piece. It had some fat which is good b/c he’s thin. HE LOVED THIS - SAID IT WAS AMAZING! Excellent recipe.

Chrissy on Sugar Free Fudgy Chocolate Brownies

Made this it was fantastic!! Going to make it again only this time with beef instead of the chicken.

What You’ll Find on My Sugar Free Kitchen

What You Won’t Find on My Sugar Free Kitchen

  • I don’t use bottled pre made recipe bases in my recipes
  • Bland recipes with little to no flavor.  I like lots of flavor.  In Everything.
  • Complicated recipes.  Mostly because I can’t be bothered.  I want it to be easy and I want to enjoy doing it, so its uncomplicated all the way.

One of my most made recipes is my Sugar Free Chocolate Cake. It uses Monkfruit as the sweetener and its super easy to make with no gadgets required. Plus it has creamy chocolate frosting!

What's the easiest dessert I can make that's sugar free?

This Date Snickers (Chocolate Covered Dates) is just 4 ingredients, 15 minutes and no special equipment needed

What are 3 sugar free meal ideas you recommend to get started with?

Hands down these Asian Chicken Meatballs, or Teriyaki Chicken Bowls (with a homemade teriyaki sauce). Its easier than you think to make it. And then, this Asian Glazed Salmon with Pineapple Salsa.
