Keto bakery will add new adventures to your tastebuds.

Jill Shlesinger visits with Donna Grimm, a fellow keto-cooking traveler.

Eating the scrumptious cookies and other bakery treats at Starburst Parlor Keto Bakery in Las Vegas brings back — or introduces you — to real food. Jill Shlesinger creates taste adventures that will satisfy any sweet tooth, but she creates them without sugar, gluten, or ingredients that have poly or mono in them.

Styling a fiery-red, long-bob, sheba-curve hair style from the late 1930s, Jill lives her passion for eating tasty food without the corruption of corporate farming additives and fake sugars. She brings back a rich experience of food that teases your saliva glands and makes you moan while devouring a German chocolate or red velvet art piece, or bite into a rich, guilt-free chocolate chip cookie.

Jill is one of those success stories where things were looking bad for her. A medical diagnosis strangled her food options, and her job vaporized during Dr. Fauci's pandemic shutdowns. Hey, what do you do? You do what you love. And she loves to eat, and she loves to help people who miss eating the good stuff when challenged by diabetes, gluten issues, or other maladies that upset gut microbiomes.

Learning how to fix keto food or live the keto lifestyle is not easy. It takes understanding how to not use standard flours but alternatives, like almond flour, and integrating plant-based sweeteners that satisfy. Her sweet treats are balanced with robust savory options, including jalapeno bagels and pizzas.

"Nothing makes me happier than creating something delicious that makes people smile," Jill said, after we stopped at her bakery in the Las Vegas medical district, 2202 W. Charleston.

Now a take-out with limited seating, the bakery features a unique post-World War II decor and a fun vibe that's worth the trip. Jill will ship some items to you. But check out her in-store menu.

People get crazy when you say words like "keto" or "diet", but the low-carb, no-sugar, no-fake-stuff eating can be very beneficial. Finding a passionate chef who cooks that way for your pleasure is a treasure.
