Eating healthy, for me, is about more than weight loss like it used to be. It’s about controlling my blood sugar levels and obtaining normal–or relatively normal–hormone levels. I still struggle to lose weight efficiently, but eating a wheat, sugar and gluten free diet helps to control some of the problems I’ve encountered with these health issues of mine.
Some people have a very easy time cutting the sugar and hopping right on the keto train, full steam ahead. For the rest of us, those sugar cravings can be downright painful, especially at first. There are a number of herbal teas that can be beneficial to you on the keto diet for a variety […]
My friend Kristie sent me this recipe that she created with much excitement. Her enthusiasm sold me immediately. “They’re so fluffy,” she said. “Even my kids ate them!”I’ve got my own pancake recipes, but this one looks downright delicious. The picture reminds me of a hoecake, which is a flapjack-like concoction made with corn meal […]
I’ll admit it: I’ve been on a bit of a pancake kick lately. I’ve got several pancake recipes up on the site, and they’re all just as delicious as anything! I was on a mission to get some thick, fluffy flapjacks made, though, and this recipes is JUST that. Even my carb loving husband loved […]
I’ve been wanting to come up with some new breakfast recipes because I hear my readers saying how tired they are of eating eggs for breakfast. Personally, I never get tired of eggs. I’m not sure why, really–I just love ’em. This recipe was inspired by this carb and sugar-laden one from Better Homes and […]
There’s just no doubt about it. Sausage isn’t a pretty food. I made this at 11:30 p.m. on a Saturday night (because, you know, that’s what you do when you’re cool– make homemade sausages for the week), so I didn’t exactly go out of my way to make the pictures pretty. But with that aside, […]
Today I brought the grill out of our shed. I also replaced the snowblower in our garage with the lawnmower and put the snowblower in the shed. The seasons are changing, and with highs in the high 50s and 60s this in the ten day, I’m hoping it’s safe to say that spring is finally […]
In my house, I make both low carb and high carb baked goods. The ‘regular’ baked goods are few and far between, but their existence always makes my husband ask, “Are these low carb?” I know a recipe for a low carb treat is a good when when the hubby has to ask if they’re […]
Cakes take so long to make. They’re a real labor of love, you know? So what’s a girl to do when she’s craving chocolate but doesn’t want to spend a couple of hours in the kitchen? Why, she whips up a tasty mug cake, of course. I make my mug cakes in these nifty little […]

Keto Ingredients This mousse is super creamy low carb goodness. It’s ready in just a minute or two and man oh man is it the […]
I was hankering for a side dish that would really hit the spot today after I made some lovely pork rind and Parmesan breaded pork chops for dinner. Broccoli sounded great, so I decided to play around and see what I could some up with. As you can tell by the photo, the results were […]
