My grandmother grew up in the backwoods of Tennessee as a farmer's daughter. Her family worked hard for what little they could earn and made the most of what they had. She's told me stories of growing up way out in the "sticks" and the times she had. She has shared some of her recipes with me and given me her wisdom on canning and "putting up". Not to mention, I spent the ...

Low Carb Spinach Feta Greek Pie
Being low-carb while the rest of your family isn't can be...trying. It takes some fortitude to resist the pretty much constant temptation to eat all of the carby things. It also takes planning. As with any "diet", failing to plan = setting yourself up for failure. That's why I try my best to keep easy to eat things stocked in my fridge. Things like this Low Carb Spinach and ...
Ranger Cookies with Rice Krispies
I had no idea that Ranger cookies even existed until just a few years ago. We were fortunate enough to walk into the delicious atmosphere of Ambrosia Bakery in Hot Springs, Arkansas during our annual family vacation where, there among the cakes, tarts and trays and trays of confections, was a whole tray of something called... Ranger cookies. Being completely unfamiliar with ...

Quick and Easy Breakfast Pizza
Let me fill you in on what’s happening at our house right now. Our kids are growing. A lot. Which in turn means that they are eating. A lot. What this translates to is that, as a family, we are spending money. A lot. We have reached the stage of childhood where it seems that the kids grow inches overnight. I’m certain that they absolutely do and their appetite reflects it. ...
Low Carb Zucchini Timbale
Everywhere I go, I end up talking to someone who is practicing a low carb or keto lifestyle. Maybe they just started or maybe they’ve been going for several months, but there is no denying that is has become the “it” weight loss plan of the year. I myself have been following a ketogenic plan since the beginning of December and have lost a satisfying 20 pounds so far. I’ve gone ...
Best Blueberry Peach Coffee Cake
I don’t know who in the line of history turned cake into a breakfast food, but I applaud them. With no mind for health or social standards, the woman (for it must have been a woman) who made cake for breakfast a thing and turned our childhood dream into reality should be considered a hero. By merely putting the word “coffee” in front of “cake” dessert was transformed into an ...
Mini Strawberry Jam Cupcakes
The jig is up for me. It seems the teachers have put two and two together and are taking advantage of it. No longer do I get the easy job of providing plates or juice boxes for the holiday classroom parties, I am now slated for the task of providing the good stuff. Ok, maybe it’s not that bad, but if this past Christmas was any indication I am betting that I will be asked ...
Low Carb/Keto Broccoli Cheddar Bacon Quiche
January means three things to me; it’s cold, I have a birthday, and it’s diet season. I always diet in January. It’s the easiest time of year to try to lose a few pounds because everyone else is also trying to get rid of the holiday love handles. This year is a little different because I actually started last month (because I love to torture myself and be surrounded ...

Upside Down Pear Cake
I’ve been on a pear kick lately. This is a strange thing for me because, well, I don’t really like pears. I mean they are kind of like an apple but not an apple. They are juicier which is good, but they sometimes have a weird grainy texture that makes me cringe a little. I don’t mind cooked pears but this fat bottomed fruit is not the first thing I reach for in the produce ...
