    Mediterranean White Bean Salad

    September 18, 2022 - By 

    I have been inspired to create and eat more Mediterranean-based recipes this year. Especially during the warm months of the year. That area of the world is known for having greater longevity than here in the US. It is lower in sugar and rich in fresh fruits and vegetables. They also consume less red meat and more fish. And the olive oil is always flowing as well. I was looking to create a nice, cool salad since it’s still pretty hot here in South Carolina. So I created this Mediterranean white bean salad, which is inspired by amazing Mediterranean flavors.…

    Iced Pumpkin Chai Latte

    September 6, 2022 - By 

    September is here! And that means that it’s officially pumpkin spice season. I really enjoy all of the spices of the season and love good pumpkin spice or chai lattes. But here in South Carolina, early September still gets pretty darn hot! So, while I want to enjoy some pumpkin goodness, drinking a hot beverage is not going to work for me! I also don’t like all of the added sugar and other gunk in the seasonal beverages you get at certain coffee shops. Since I’m trying to reduce the amount of added sugar and chemical additives I’m consuming, going…

    Simple Greek Frittata

    July 10, 2022 - By 

    There are some times when I’m just inspired to create a new recipe, and this simple Greek frittata was definitely inspired. Today, when I was thinking about what I wanted to fix for lunch, nothing sounded good at all. I absolutely hate it when that happens. So as I stood there, in front of my refrigerator wanting something to catch my attention, I noticed the eggs. I haven’t made a frittata in a long time. I like frittatas because they are less labor-intensive than an omelet. But a part of me also wanted something new and different. I had thought…

    Italian Pasta Salad

    June 26, 2022 - By 

    Summer is here and it’s the perfect time for a nice, cool, refreshing pasta salad like this Italian pasta salad. I don’t know about you, but when the summer heat arrives, the last thing I want is a lot of hot foods to eat. I certainly don’t want to be spending tons of time in a hot kitchen. And I really like the ease of a nice pasta salad. They are a classic summer favorite! I regularly make the classic pasta salad recipe and have been making it for decades! Of course, I do a gluten-free version which is better…

    Ground Chicken, Potato, and Spinach Soup

    May 26, 2022 - By 

    I really love creating new recipes like this ground chicken, potato, and spinach soup. But this recipe actually came from necessity at a time when I was pretty limited in what I could eat. In the past, I’ve had issues with digestive issues, particularly gastritis, especially when under extreme stress. Digestive issues aren’t uncommon for those of us who are sensitive. Chronic stress is the main contributor to my digestive woes, which is why I tend to have flares when stress is at its highest. I had issues after I lost my Mom and after my divorce. And then, of…

    Simple Honey Barbecue Sauce

    April 28, 2022 - By 

    Do you enjoy barbecue sauce but don’t like the additives in store-bought varieties? I’ve created this simple honey barbecue sauce that can help! When the weather starts to get warmer here in South Carolina, I find that I don’t want to cook as much indoors. I prefer to keep the oven off and instead, I grill more. Using my oven just tends to make my house too hot. And when the temperatures start to climb, that’s the last thing I want! I’m not sure why but I enjoy barbecue sauce more during the warm months than I do when it’s…
