Homemade is Better
My husband and I seem to go through phases with our favorite foods and drinks. We’ve gone through a tea phase and now we’re right smack in the middle of enjoying this Hot Milk and Honey Drink every night. Quiet nights-in are my favorite, but this drink makes it even […]
Hello there! Back in January of this year, my husband and I took a few days trip to West Virginia. We stayed at The Greenbrier and it was absolutely magical. I cannot wait to return! I found myself looking back on our trip there a lot in the last few […]
I suppose that quiche without the crust becomes a frittata, but in my mind, quiche is just a tiny bit more elegant. Or at least, it implies more elegance. Quiche of any sort always makes me think of having a girlfriend over for a lunch day, catching up on each […]

Hello and welcome back! I am on a shrimp kick lately, and I just had to share this recipe. SO many prices are rising lately that it’s been very reassuring to find shrimp humbly remain in the same price bracket. I do love a luxurious appetizer or a supplement from […]
A case for pork rinds Are you familiar with pork rinds? I wasn’t until a couple of years ago. During the transition to the keto diet, I spent a lot of time researching the recipes and adjusting my cooking and purchasing to the new standards. Almost everything was familiar, except […]
