The Super Bowl (or any party event) does not mean you have to splurge on high-carb, sugary foods. There are actually lots of foods you will find at most parties that will keep you on track. But, to be sure, the best idea is to bring your own! Here are some easy low-carb and keto-friendly […]
I have been seeing posts and pins for chaffles for months and it took me a while to catch on. At first I thought it was made of chicken (thus the “ch”) and that didn’t sound good to me at all. After realizing the “ch” represented cheese – well, that was intriguing. Having never owned […]
Our travels brought us to central Pennsylvania this fall. One of the benefits of RV living is being able to visit family and friends across the country. We had a wonderful and somewhat impromptu gathering of 3 generations of my husband’s side of the family. Another benefit of this lifestyle is being able to explore […]

One of my most requested recipes is actually my homemade dog treats. A few years ago our Boxer “Lulu” was diagnosed with lymphoma. As part of her treatment at a local Veterinary school, she was seen by a Naturopathic Vet who revealed how unhealthy most dog treats are. We searched for healthy alternatives and I […]
