Spring has SPRUNG and so have our local farmers’ markets! It’s that time of the year when we excitedly rush out and load our refrigerators full of the bountiful harvest. No doubt with BIG plans on how we’ll utilize all this beautiful, nutritious, fresh produce…but then life happens. The week hurries on and before you…
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #SnackWithCreminelli #DiscoverFood #CollectiveBias I admit that both my favorite and most hated month at the same time is the month of April. April is the sign that the  snowy relaxing days of winter are over and the hecticness…
Did you know that more than half of motorists change their own motor oil? I have to admit that even though Ray does all of our automobile maintenance, service and repairs, (just like my dad and his dad did) I really had no idea that so many of you changed your oil at home too!…
It’s a dip, it’s a sauce, it’s a dressing… You’re going to be putting my Addictively Delicious Horseradish Sauce on EVERYTHING! I feel extremely guilty even calling this a recipe.. it’s just a sauce that I throw together regularly. I love it drizzled on Sous Vide Venison Tenderloin (recipe coming soon), as a dressing on a salad,…
Life can b TOUGH. No matter who you are and what your situation is, there’s distinctly good and bad days. While my life is pretty darn amazing, and I feel guilty about complaining, this past week has been challenging. I want to be super clear, I’m not a perfectionist. Honestly, I’m not. Yes, I’m a…
 There’s a funny thing that happens at our house, if Ray knows there’s olives on (or in) something he immediately turns up his nose. I’m not complaining since that means more olive-deliciousness for me, BUT after I rolled up a batch of these Keto Olive Pecan Fat Bombs (much like  my olive dip) he gobbled…
I’m always trying to recreate my favorite naughty foods and drinks into healthier versions. The other day I was at Target and instead of grabbing a Passion Tea Latte at Starbucks, like I wanted to…. I decided to just grab the ingredients to make one at home instead… there’s nothing unhealthy about iced herbal tea with…
One the keys to being successful on a Ketogenic or Low-Carb diet is always being prepared for times when hunger hits and you need to fuel up on a fatty snack. OR if you’re struggling to hit your fat-macros and need one last bite to keep your keto-ratios on point. These Everything Bagel and Lox…
It’s been nearly 10 years since Ray and I decided to forgo exchanging Christmas Gifts with friends and family, in lieu of gifts we choose to give the people we love the gift of our time. One of the highlights of our holiday season is definitely our Christmas Eve Dinner, which always starts with my…
Call me traditional, but when it comes to southern cooking I look for those basic foods that are the cornerstone to a delicious meal. Like crispy fried chicken, smoky braised greens, or a fluffy, soft biscuit. A biscuit thats topped with gravy or simply a biscuit that’s slathered with butter. But here’s the thing, when…
Looking for a quick and delicious side dish for dinner? You are going to love my 5 Minute  Pressure Cooker Rice Pilaf with Parsley and Pine Nuts.  This rice is so good. I mean REALLY good. When I thought that my 5 minute rice recipes couldn’t get any better, I added toasted pine nuts and fresh parsley…
The Keto Diet is a little different from most diets out there. You see, it’s about more than just which foods to eat and which foods to avoid – it actually alters your body’s metabolic state. And that can bring a lot of important health benefits along with it. That’s why Keto is an important…
