Tesla SSO OAuth Token Generation in Automate

One of the many great things about owning a Tesla vehicle is the ability to control it through a smartphone. What’s missing is the ability to schedule events. For example, I want the HVAC system to turn on fifteen minutes before I leave work. No more freezing nor roasting my butt off. Yeah, having to unlock my phone, open an app, wait for it to connect to my vehicle, and manually turn on the climate controls is a first-world problem, but why should a human have to do something so boring and repetitive? Why not make the phone do the work?

Low Carb Continental Breakfast Ice Cream

HighKey’s Banana Bread Breakfast Biscuits (say that five times fast) were part of my upgraded Chunky Monkey ice cream. I had a box of the Mixed Berry ones, too, but it was tough to pair. They kinda taste like a bran muffin with a hint of jelly. The flavor jolted a memory from many years back when I thought a continental breakfast was a healthy one. I used take bran muffins, split them in half and toast them on a griddle with margarine and serve with jelly. Margarine?! Yeah, this was a while ago. Anyway, what if I made a butter-flavored ice cream? Wait! I already did: Butter Pecan. I can recreate the base (minus the pecans).

Low Carb Dulce de Leche Ice Cream

I can’t deny it. I’ve become a bit of a snob when it comes to ice cream. I experimented with Dulce de Leche flavorings in the past, but I didn’t post the results. Why? Because ice cream without anything to mix-in is boring. Honestly, would you care if I posted a recipe that was just “add flavoring to the mix” and nothing more? No, you wouldn’t. Luckily, a new cookie from Highkey was a really good match: Almond Tea Cookies. They remind me of sugar-glazed Italian cookies from my youth.

Low Carb Chunky Monkey Ice Cream II: The Chunkening

It was time for an overhaul of my old Chunky Money recipe. It was a fine ice cream, but thanks to new low carb products on the market, we can make it oh-so-much better! HighKey makes banana bread breakfast “biscuits” and Fearless Keto takes all the work out of making candied walnuts.

Low Carb “Hot” Fudge Sundae Ice Cream

Legendary Foods saw my previous ice cream using their toaster pastries and sent me a box of their Hot Fudge Sundae ones to try. This is the first time a company has ever rewarded me with free stuff! My vanilla fudge ripple recipe just got a major upgrade. These toaster pastries made something good really great!

Low Carb Zabaglione Ice Cream with Almond Biscotti

For Italians, “biscotti” refers to many different kinds of cookies. Here in the USA, it refers to a particular kind of crispy, long almond cookie usually served with coffee. Highkey did a great job making a keto friendly version that pairs spectacularly with zabaglione flavored ice cream. I already featured a low carb zabaglione gelato over five years ago using real Marsala wine. However, I scrapped that recipe in favor of using a high-quality zabaglione extract from Natures Flavors. Alcohol-infused ice creams are difficult to get right. Extracts are easy but effective.

Low Carb Toaster Pastry Ice Cream

I’m really impressed with Legendary Foods’ low carb toaster pastries. They taste very close to those other famous tart-like confectioneries that pop out of a toaster. Truth be told, I never actually toasted one of these suckers. What I did do is chop some up to see how well they freeze. Good news! They’re perfect for ice cream experimentation.
