Do you have a health-related resolution for 2020? I hope that you do and that this year will be your healthiest year yet. As an advocate for home cooking, I salute you! Home cooking isn’t only an answer to health resolutions, it is also a way to save money. Whatever […]
Chili is one of the things I have missed having switched to a primarily low-carb / ketogenic diet. Even though I eat (or cook with) carbs at least once a week, some things just don’t make the cut anymore. Traditional chili is, unfortunately, one of those things, so I had […]
When I shared my sous-vide egg bite recipe, I confessed that I don’t like eggs. However, there are a few egg based breakfast items that I like and this Crustless Italian quiche is one of the them (this being another one). Gooey chunks of mozzarella and sharp shavings of Parmigiano-Reggiano. […]
Sous-vide may seem intimidating at first – it did for me. I had a very vague understanding of it until my husband’s aunt – who is a reliable source when it comes to cooking appliances – told us about it. She has tested and continues to try all the major […]
I don’t have an exciting story for these little guys. I’ve always passed by them at the store and thought “they’re so cute. I need to do something with them one day”. One of those days I went on with my grocery shopping and I saw a jar of pimento […]

These “tacos” were a solution to our low-carb dinner problem. Most days, we try to eat keto, which is a low carb, high fat, moderate protein diet. As it turns out, most delicious things are made of bread, sugar, and potatoes. While I still love traditional, real taco shells, these […]
This Basil Alfredo sauce is composed of a few simple ingredients, but it bursts with flavor and it is sure to elevate any dish. My favorite way to use it is to toss it with Simple Roasted Chicken and steamed broccoli for a quick, but very satisfying and flavorful meal. […]
My liking of Brussels sprouts is most likely explained by my heritage – anything cabbage is a staple in Eastern European kitchens. However, I know that most people either love them or hate them. My Mother in law hates them and my husband loves them. So it definitely doesn’t run […]
