Lettuce wraps are great…but they can get old. They can also get messy. I wanted a sandwich bread or bun that could hold up to the mess, but I don’t have the time to bake fresh bread every week. So I started using my waffles. The easiest grain-free sandwich solution. Waffles are crispy and moist…
Tis the season for grillin! I’ll be real with you, I haven’t ever really gotten into grilling until this year. I used to just leave it to the guys. But….my husband doesn’t seem to care too much for it. I have no clue why, since he is REALLY good at it. He made some BBQ…
Before I changed my eating habits, I was never really into breakfast. Growing up on cereal and poptarts and eggo waffles, it was embedded into my mind that breakfast was meant to be sweet, not savory. So I didn’t care too much for eggs and bacon and whatnot. And the previously mentioned breakfast junk food…
I have a major sweet tooth. Admittedly, its nowhere near as bad as it used to be. I have completed the 21 day sugar detox with great success. But, there is just a power that dessert has over me. And being the only one in my family (other than my children) who eats only real,…
I am a sauce lover. I am never one to pass up the gravy, I always ladle an extra portion of sauce on my pasta, and i pour every last drip from the pan when I serve up our dinner. To me, the sauce is like the cherry on the cake. It was already good,…
My husband just returned from one of his annual fishing trips yielding an abundance of this beautiful trout. Here in the south, fish is generally found battered and fried, and in my opinion, ruined. When I am blessed with fresh wild-caught seafood, I do not want to mask that beautiful flavor with anything. Just a…
This Creamy Jambalaya is much like the traditional dish, with an original twist. The added cream tames the heat and adds depth of flavor while retaining just the right amount of spice. Perfect if you have little ones joining you, or if you just don’t care to set your mouth on fire. If you can…
I like to keep something around that house that I can easily grab on the go. After burning out on Larabars within my first week going Paleo, my options were a bit limited. These Oatmeal Raisin cookies are quick and easy, and they are perfect for breakfast on the run, snacking, or dessert! I love…
When I find an item at a restaurant that I love, I order it just about every time i go. Especially when I am in a hurry, which is practically always. But for some reason, restaurants seem to love to discontinue my favorite menu item.
Searching for a warm bowl of comfort on a cold winter morning, I decided to attempt (for the second time) to create an oatmeal that wouldn’t start a fight with my insides. I wanted something that could be quickly thrown together just like the instant oatmeal I grew up on. I was really very…
