Crispy Buffalo Shrimp Tacos

Crispy Buffalo Shrimp Tacos
My late husband would have loved my dinner last night.  Crispy buffalo shrimp tacos! Here’s the thing though – my late husband could not stand spicy food, but somehow when I added the buffalo sauce to the wet better it wasn’t too spicy for him. For my shrimp plate though, I’d always douse them in more buffalo sauce because I puffy heart buffalo sauce anything....

Strawberry Lemon Muffins

Strawberry Lemon Muffins
These strawberry lemon muffins are the perfect spring breakfast or snack. Each one is 4 WW points and around 180 calories.  Delish! I recently found Beth from The First Year on Instagram.  You can find her blog here. If you’ve been around here for a bit, you know I don’t bake much.  Because it’s a science.  You need to mix the right ingredients together and...

Zucchini Tacos

Zucchini Tacos
I never would have thought of zucchini tacos if it wasn’t for my friend Alfredo. Well, I call him my friend, but I’ve only met him in person once.  😂 He has a giant TikTok following and recently started a recipe blog. He recently posted a recipe called Tacos de Calabacita, and it looked amazing.  I am using zucchini because it is a bit more...

Low Carb Cauliflower Macaroni and Cheese

Low Carb Cauliflower Macaroni and Cheese
Low Carb Cauliflower Macaroni and Cheese You need to put this low carb cauliflower macaroni and cheese on the top of the list to make! Being diabetic, I am always curious about low carb pastas.  But sadly, the results mostly taste like crap to me.  Either the cooking time is such a fine line from perfect to overcooked, or not cooked enough no matter how...

Snickerdoodles

Snickerdoodles
I first wrote this Snickerdoodles cookie recipe in 2009.  It was buried in a “day in my life” blog post.  Only I knew it was there, because my blog post title was “It Was A Mama Rini’s Day!” No wonder google never picks up my recipes based on blog titles like that one! Interestingly enough, I never even gave you instructions on how long to...

Almond Scones

Almond Scones
These almond scones are probably the best scones I’ve made to date – so good! Ever have the Starbucks Almond Croissant?  Not even sure they still sell them, but back in the day, I would eat one of those as a snack.  Like on the train going to work.  A pre-breakfast if you will. That “pre-breakfast” was 17 points.  Gah.   When Hannah and I were...
