I was never a fan of spinach growing up. Most kids weren’t. Honestly, I was never really a fan of salads and I am still not – with a couple of exceptions. I never knew how good spinach was until I tried it with this hot bacon dressing. My mom used to make a salad […]
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 get a lot of questions about my diet and way of eating. Usually people are just curious about how eating a high-fat ketogenic diet can be healthy – especially when they see me pile butter on top of my steak. I always encourage people to do their own homework and understand the “why” before […]
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 […]
I never really thought much about making my own vanilla extract until a friend mentioned that she made it in her Instant Pot. Well, I love my instant pot! It makes everything else easier, so why not try vanilla? And – have you seen the price for vanilla extract lately? The real stuff – not […]
It’s Sunday morning and we have traveled roughly 1000 miles in the past week. Key West was getting pretty warm and most of the snowbirds had already left for the season so it was time to move north. So it’s official…we are snowbirds! Sunday mornings at most campgrounds involve watching others pack up and leave […]
I thought I had lost this video! I recorded it as an “audition” of sorts for a cooking blog. I got the job but it never got off the ground. I was digging through my old YouTube channel and found it! We were living in Hawaii at the time so pineapples were plentiful and as […]
Confession…I don’t like salads. I’ve never liked salads. Let’s face it – lettuce has very little flavor and most of us wouldn’t bother to eat the lettuce without all of the accompanying additions of other more flavorful vegetables, cheese, nuts, seeds, eggs, bacon, meat, seafood, and other seasonings. So I was pleasantly surprised when I […]
I only recently tried butter chicken after seeing so many posts and comments raving about it. I have also never been a huge fan of Indian food so I was a bit reluctant. Well, that has changed. It was a huge hit with my husband so it will definitely be a regular on our dinner […]
