    Italian Frittata (Recipes for 2)

    September 28, 2017 - By 

    Do you like omelets but don’t love the time it takes to make one? This Italian frittata is much less labor-intensive, but with all of the great flavor! I will admit that I really enjoy a great omelet. But they can be very time-consuming to create. I also love to find meals that are quick and easy to make, and so when I needed a simple meal this week, I thought about making an omelet, but instead chose to create a great frittata (Italian omelet) recipe instead. Frittatas are much simpler to make and less labor-intensive as well. And you…

    Grain-Free Apple Crisp

    September 17, 2017 - By 

    I have a regular recipe using regular or sprouted flour for apple crisp, which I absolutely love! I grew up eating the regular recipe each fall and winter and it is completely comforting food for me! My Mom made it regularly during the cool months and so I have a strong emotional connection to this recipe. I always know when it’s officially autumn when it is cool enough outside to make a batch of apple crisp. And it makes my house smell so amazing! But I wanted to create a grain-free apple crisp as well. I have to avoid grains…

    Why You Should Stop Eating Iceberg Lettuce

    July 27, 2017 - By 

    I will fully admit that I am a former unhealthy salad eater. When I ate a salad before, any nutritional value was swept away in the river of processed thousand island dressing, and hiding beneath a mountain or croutons. We won’t even mention the other additions I added to my bowl (as I hang my head in shame), And, of course, I was the iceberg lettuce queen! Don’t try to put romaine, spinach, or any type of baby greens in my bowl.  I couldn’t have anything THAT healthy or I will have a fit!! For me, the word kale was…

    Slow Cooker Stuffed Peppers

    July 24, 2017 - By 

    I really love the taste of stuffed peppers. For me, they are absolute comfort food.  But I usually only make them during the cooler months of the year because I do what I can to leave my oven off during the summer months. But once in a while I still get a craving. So I wanted to create a recipe that could be done in the slow cooker so that they could slowly cook at day and infuse flavors even more. These turned out just right! Yum!! I’ve actually given you two options with this dish. To make it gluten-free,…

    Do you ever struggle to find good lunch ideas? I will admit that sometimes I do! Especially eating grain-free! It’s not like I can go and just fix myself a sandwich, right? So I’ve had to get creative with what I’m eating and come up with some new takes on some classic lunch ideas like this easy egg salad! We all know the egg salad sandwich, but when I eat it, I actually eat it on cucumber slices….yum! You could also dip some celery in and eat it that way as well! Want to make a grain-free egg salad sandwich?…

    Low Carb Cheese Taco Shells

    July 10, 2017 - By 

    Do you eat low carb but miss the crunch of taco shells? This low-carb cheese taco shells recipe is a quick and easy solution! Part of my own personal journey to health has included making sure that blood sugar levels are under control….especially since I have both type 1 and type 2 diabetes that runs in the family. So I have been very concerned about reducing the number of carbohydrates and the type of carbs that I eat each day. So I have been doing a moderately low carb diet over the past couple of weeks (up to about 65…
