Granola is one of my favorite foods. I could eat it for every meal. It’s also turned into my son, Liam’s favorites, along with dark chocolate. It really satisfies my need for something crunchy, sweet and satiating. The beauty of this granola is you can control the amount of sugar used. It’s also great if […]
Reduced Carb Oatmeal
I made up this recipe because I really miss having a hot breakfast in the winter. I don’t tolerate eggs well and I needed something I could make ahead of time and just reheat in the morning. I like a good breakfast sausage scramble too, but this is on the sweeter vs savory side. This […]
Cauliflower Rice
I love this cauliflower rice! It’s really come in handy lately, when I’m making dinner and either want to add more volume to stretch out the meal, or add more veggies easily. Why I Like It: It’s frozen, so I always have it on hand It takes 7 minutes to cook It’s super versatile because […]
GEM Wraps and SeaSnax
I’m always looking for a convenient lunch, for when I don’t have any leftovers to take. I picked up a package of Gem Wraps and SeaSnax while on vacation, because cold cut sandwiches are easy to make when you’re on the road. I thought these might be a good alternative to bread or a wheat […]
Chicken Fried “Rice”
I’m always looking for ways to sneak in more veggies. Riced cauliflower is an excellent choice in place of rice, for so many reasons. It’s my new favorite! Honestly, I didn’t use it until now, because it has only recently become available in frozen packaged form and I couldn’t be bothered to get the food […]
My Favorite Pulled Pork
This is my favorite recipe for pulled pork because it’s super flavorful, low in sugar and easy to make. Most pulled pork recipes rely on store bought barbecue sauce for all the flavor, which is packed with sugar (usually high fructose corn syrup) and other nasty additives. This recipe gets its flavor from a home […]
Low Carb Apple Cinnamon Muffins
Gluten and Dairy Free
I’ve really been craving some cinnamon raisin bread with butter, lately. I remembered this basic recipe and adapted it to be cinnamon raison-y. Joe likes to cut his in half (takes the top off) and grill it in some butter on the stove-top. I have to admit, this was a genius move. It’s absolutely […]
Low Carb, Super Easy Shrimp Scampi
Well, I’m pretty obsessed with this recipe. So far, I’ve made it three times in the last week (also due to the fact that shrimp was on sale at WholeFoods). I have had this spiralizer thingy in my drawer for a few years and had convinced myself it was a piece of crap and that […]
Paleo Coconut Flour Zucchini Bread (Low Carb and Low Sugar)
Gluten Free and Grain Free
Now is the time to find new and different things to do with zucchini. I don’t know about you, but I’m up to my neck in zucchini from our Simple Gifts farm share (not that I’m complaining!). I have been looking for a good bread recipe that doesn’t use almond flour. Although tasty, consuming nut […]
Low Carb Pumpkin Muffins
Gluten, Dairy and Nut Free
Muffins are one of my all time favorite foods. Therefore, I have made and eaten many muffins in my 33 years. These low carb pumpkin muffins are both tasty and full of whole food nutrients! It’s easy to find gluten free muffin recipes, but they all had some major drawbacks. I’m not a huge fan of […]
