PoppySeed Pancakes with Lemon Curd Last night in our cooking class we made poppy seed pancakes with lemon curd.  It changed Hannah’s life.  Love how Weight Watchers friendly these recipes are! She LOVES lemon curd and had no idea that you could make it in the microwave in two minutes.  Pretty sure she’ll be making this every week.   My friend Vic is the person I...

My Grammy used to make the best zucchini bread.  I ask my Aunt Martha for the recipe. Guess what?  The original recipe calls for two cups of sugar AND 3/4 cup vegetable oil.  No wonder it was so good! How do you lighten up zucchini bread? Two things lightened up this zucchini bread recipe.  First, I reduced the oil to 1/4 cup and secondly, I...

These banana bacon pancakes are next level.  They are slightly sweet and have a hint of saltiness from the bacon.  So good! Buttermilk pancakes are the best, but what happens if you don’t have any on hand? How do you make buttermilk if you don’t have any?

I love all things buffalo! My timehop reminded me that I made these buffalo chicken bombs a year ago, but there was no recipe. Gah! So I recreated it this morning with leftover grilled chicken from our cooking class earlier this week.  Side note, you can also cook this buffalo chicken in the air fryer at 370 for 8-10 minutes. This is so simple and...

My only complaint is that sometimes the sauce was a bit too sweet for me – and then I would add for buffalo sauce to balance it – ha! Copycat Asian Zing...

These Instant Pot French Dip Sandwiches worked out on the first try.  Whew! Once a month I provide dinner for a group home with ten teenage boys.  I had the idea to make french dip sandwiches but lot’s or recipes I saw online called for a shit ton of onions.  No thank you.  😂 What kind of beef should you use for french dip sandwiches?...

Warm Potato Salad I may be in the minority, but I am not the biggest fan of potato salad with mayo.  That’s why I love this warm potato salad that is not only delicious, but Weight Watchers friendly! UPDATE:  On the new WW plan as of December 2024, each serving of this side dish is only 1 Weight Watchers point! This recipe is also a...

Natural Heaven has brown rice hearts of palm on the market!  You can check it out here and use code BIZ to save $.    If you’ve...

This Copycat Baja Fresh Salsa has been made routinely in my house for 11 years.  It is so flavorful! The Baja Fresh restaurant near us closed down several years ago.  In fact the closest one to me know is in Wisconsin! Luckily I had a small container left and my late husband and I were trying to figure out what the black flecks were in...
