Initially I had planned to write just one post on my Holiday Kitchen Makeover, but as I started jotting down topics to cover, I realized that it definitely needed more space. You see, I started this makeover with purely aesthetics in mind, but as the project progressed the mental/emotional aspects became so much more important…
When we have guests over for dinner, one of my favorite things to include is a tiny bowl of soup as an appetizer. Not because I’m fancy but because I make damn good soups and I’m always looking for more ways to sneak in another delicious dish into the menu. This year for our Thanksgiving…
One of the best and worse part of the Thanksgiving holiday is leftovers. And while noshing on leftovers for days after the big feast is a great way to get break from cooking, it quickly becomes boring. The last of the leftovers I have to deal with is always my Turkey Broth, which is perfect to…

Today, I’m excited to introduce all of you to our cute little beta fish, Casper and give you a tour of his luxurious accomodations. Casper is very friendly and spoiled rotten.

I’ve mentioned before, how much of my passion for cooking was inspired by spending time with my Grandma Elise in her kitchen. I remember helping her pick beautiful red pepper from their garden, then roasting them over the flame of her gas range. She also let me roast marshmallows over the flame of her gas…
Known as the magic elixir, bone broth was a common dish just a few decades ago and was used to add flavor to soups and sauces. Now it has been replaced with small, foil-wrapped stock bouillon cubes that simulate the taste of meat and contain none of the nutrients found in real broth. Perhaps one…
Today is Thursday, October 27, 2016 which means it’s been 27 days since it’ve eaten and more importantly only 5 more days of fasting left to go. With less than a week remaining, I’ve hit the point where it’s smooth sailing and there’s no possible way that I will stop fasting because I’ve come so far. To…
One Pot Meals are the best and with my Pressure Cooker Salmon and Rice Pilaf it only takes 5 minutes to cook everything all at once. A delicious and healthy dinner can’t get much easier!

The secret to making Low Carb Thai Sweet Chili Sauce is using THIS sweetener. It has very similar properties…
Before I start a new home improvement project it’s all sunshine and rainbows.. And it’s an awesome sense of accomplishment when it’s finished and looking beautiful. However it’s all that hard work inbetween that I sincerely hate. Especially falling off the ladder. Yes that happened and don’t worry I’m alright. I’m haf-way through my October…
