My husband grew up in the South where cornbread was a staple at many, many meals. I grew up eating cornbread on Thanksgiving by preparing the mix straight from the box, but other than that, cornbread didn't have a place in my life. Until last year, when my husband started asking for chili to take... Continue Reading →
Gluten Free Maple Caramel Pecan Pie Tarts
Everyone loves pecan pie, at least that's what I thought as a kid. It's warm, it's gooey, and it's fantastic under a pile of whipped cream. As a kid, my dad always bought my mom those little mini pecan pie tarts from Swiss Colony for Christmas. They were intended as a gift for her, but... Continue Reading →
Lil Spicy, Very Cheesy Cheeseburger Pie
Growing up, I had a very weird relationship with Hamburger Pie, which my mother always called it, despite the fact that it was always topped with cheese. It was one of my grandmother's favorite foods, and my father absolutely hated it. After my grandmother passed away, you'd think that the inappropriately named Hamburger Pie would...

Fresh Summer Salmon Poke
Sorry for the late update! I fell down the rabbit hole recently getting lost in Italy. I spent a month travelling around Europe, but spent most of the time in Italy, getting lost in the streets of the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum. It's a beautiful city and I highly recommend it - just make... Continue Reading →
Actually Cheesy Cheese Fries
I love snack foods, my all time favorite being BBQ Black Bean Bearitos. Sadly, I'm a bit of a low carb kick now which means that they are unfortunately out of my diet with a whopping 13 carbs per ounce. My nutritionist wants me on only 14 carbs per day, which means just one handful... Continue Reading →

Super Tasty Almond Blondies
I love baking. It's a great way to take a few mundane ingredients and turn them into something amazing. I've been told over and over again that baking is like a science: you have to follow the recipe to the letter and add in everything exactly as stated or your final product will be a...

Late Night Crunchy Cheesy Taco Chips
I love potato chips, or any kind of chip, really. I like crunchy foods, the crunchier the better. When my husband accidentally burned a batch of carrot fries, I happily munched on burnt sticks of charcoal (with a side of BBQ sauce, of course!) The satisfying bite and the crunchy texture has always appealed to... Continue Reading →
Low Carb Shrimp Egg Lo Mein
I've been on a bit of a doctor-induced low carb kick lately, and it's honestly not as bad as I thought that it would be. Sure, not being able to bake is a big downside for me, but the upside is that I can still eat my eggs, and if you've visited this blog before,... Continue Reading →
No Bake Sugar Bomb Breakfast Cupcakes
Pulling an all nighter cramming for an exam. Pulling a late shift at work to make a last-minute deadline. Sometimes things come up in our lives and we need a sugar fix to keep us going as long as we can. Forget the calories, the carbs - you can worry about that after everything's all...
