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 →
Better-Than-Takeout Egg Drop Soup
I absolutely love Egg Drop Soup. When I was a little kid playing on the soccer team, my mom used to yell out the name of a local Chinese restaurant (one of the nice sit-down places too) in the hopes that I would score a goal. If I did, we would go there for dinner... 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...

Low Carb Egg Dough Pizza Crust
You know I like eggs. I've said this time and time again. I also like pizza. Doesn't everyone, right? Pizza is fantastic because you can do so many things with it. You can make a BBQ chicken pizza, a vegetarian pizza, a dessert pizza...the sky is basically the limit. The one thing holding everyone back... Continue Reading →
Little Bite “Petite Bouchée” Biscuits
I have this weird fascination with bread. I love bread. I love the texture of it, but I don't like eating traditional bread, or biscuits, for that matter. Instead, I keep thinking up new and creative ways to make different types of bread and biscuits, and here's one of my results. I first made these... Continue Reading →
Not Your Grandma’s Garlic Roasted Potatoes
Potatoes are a holiday staple, probably because they're so versatile and easy to work with. Mash them, boil them, bake them, fry them - the possibilities are endless! It may surprise a lot of people, but I don't really like potatoes (with the exception of the ever-addicting french fries, of course). To me, they're just hot and mush.... Continue Reading →
Crisp and Healthy Cucumber “Sushi” Bites
I bet you're probably looking at the picture above and going, "What??? Is she crazy??? That's not sushi!!!" To which I say: ...fair point! This creation came about after my husband and I had our regularly-scheduled monthly sushi night and still had cucumbers, peanut sauce, and homemade gluten-free fried onion crisps set out on the...

Super Cinnamon-y Sugar Cookies
I love sugar cookies. Growing up, it was a family tradition that every year that we would make sugar cookies as a family. When we were little, my sister and I used to argue about which cookie cutters to use - more reindeer! no, more snowmen! - and then later it became a hot debate... Continue Reading →
Slightly-less-guilty Chocolate Brownie Bites
I love chocolate. I love brownies. Doesn't everybody, right? The problem is, I need my brownies to have some texture to them, otherwise it just has that one standard melt-in-your-mouth consistency, and it just doesn't appeal to me. One of my friends gave me the idea of cooking them in a muffin pan to give... Continue Reading →
Kid-Approved Healthy Carrot French Fries
I love french fries. I mean, who doesn't? But who wants to deal with all the carbs and the guilt? Fortunately, I've found a much better alternative: carrot fries. I'll be the first to admit that I don't like cooked carrots. Baby carrots are passable with a good dip, but otherwise carrots have always just... Continue Reading →
