I’m going to warn you. This stuff is dangerous. You get all the sweet, fruity, yumminess found in Hawaiian Fruit Punch, without any of the guilt. I won’t go so far as to say that you’ll be spending your days on the beach in Maui in a bikini after drinking this, but it’s close. I’m […]

This past year, I did some DNA testing and found out that I am 0.5% Chinese. (You had probably already guessed that from my picture, right? Ha ha!) So, I guess this recipe sort of takes me back to my roots, because it’s got some of the Asian flavor that I love. I think it
I grew up on hot cereal. I love how it’s easy and warm and filling; it’s comfort food at it’s best. Add some extra butter and it’s the perfect breakfast – except when you’re low carb, keto or gluten-free. Luckily, I found a way to make it with chia seeds and hemp seeds – both

It’s the family joke that we have chicken ALL THE TIME. We really don’t, but I think my boys have been scarred by the “healthy” dried-out grilled chicken breasts that I used to serve to them before I knew better. They truly were nasty. Well, as the saying goes, “When you know better, you do

I have to admit…even though I follow a low carb, mostly Keto, mostly Paleo diet, there are foods that I just haven’t wanted to banish completely and permanently from my diet. Potatoes are one of those foods. Now, don’t get me wrong, I actually really LIKE a lot of the faux potato recipes and even

When I decided to change how I ate, I gave myself free reign on experimenting with herbs, spices, extracts, seasonings, etc. I couldn’t stand the thought of eating boring food! I may have gone a bit overboard and my friends may pick on me for my alphabetized spice drawer, but it really has been a

I grew up on red can soup with Saltine crackers (with butter and/or peanut butter) for dinner when Mom needed a quick meal, so I didn’t realize that I actually really like soup until I learned to make it myself. This one’s a favorite. It’s low carb and Keto, too. Something about the bacon, maybe?

As I write this, it’s cold here right now in Wisconsin. I mean REALLY cold. Bitterly cold. The kind of cold where even the dog won’t go out. -15 degree cold. Brrr….. Need-less-to-say, I was glad I made this for dinner last night.. It was so good I think I might eat it for breakfast,
One of the foods that’s on my Favorites List is sausage. It’s something about the savory, spicy seasoning combined with the crisp-on-the-outside, moist-on-the inside-texture that gets me every time. This seasoning is great for people like me, because I don’t want any of the “extras”, like sweeteners and preservatives, that are typically found in commercial

There’s something about pancakes that scream “Comfort Food”!!! I love them, but unfortunately, when you’re gluten-free and low carb, finding a really good pancake is not all that easy. Everybody promises, but few deliver. This recipe delivers! It TASTES like pancakes! And, when you layer it up, it LOOKS like cake! Could it get any
