These pancake protein balls are so delicious.  Full of flavor, not too sweet and just the right size ball to put in your mouth. I never really had a sweet tooth.  Well, unless you count my love affair with gummies.  That’s a whole other story. 😂 These balls were ready from beginning to end in literally ten minutes.  This would be a fun project with...

My friend Justin posted a video several months ago making a pretzel pizza.  Huh. The premise is much like making pretzels, you dip the pizza dough in a baking soda bath. Why do you need baking soda to make pretzels? The short answer is that it starts to cook the dough before it goes into the oven and it also provides a chewy, yet crisp...

These potato chips with jalapeno ranch dip are going to be the hit at your next get together. Or you can make them for yourself and eat them alone like I did!  No judgment. 😁 Before I became a widow I was a football widow. If you have a spouse, significant other or partner who loves football as much as my husband did, you know...

 Yesterday I had no idea I was going to make these buffalo garlic glazed chicken nuggets. Scrolling through IG like I do, I saw these glazed chicken nuggets from a restaurant in NYC. I immediately wanted to recreate the recipe and I am so happy I did! Do you count WW points for the oil it’s fried in? My deep fryer is electric so it holds...

Mini Banana Bread Loaves Recipe I love when I post a recipe like these mini banana bread loaves and within a couple days dozens of you make it and love it! That makes me so happy.  I am notorious for buying too many bananas and then throwing them in the freezer whole to use later.   A quick inventory of my freezer revealed that I had...

My next column for The Daily Herald is going to be these Salisbury Steak Meatballs. I have to thank my WW friend Jim for the hookup. Almost a year ago, Jim asked if I would like to contribute to the local paper in their food column.  The immediate answer was “of course!”  He said there was no pay, and my immediate answer was “of course!”...

These blueberry oat scones will taste decadent but will not break the calorie bank. A story about scones. My late husband tried a scone at a business meeting in 1989.  He declared it was the worst thing he ever ate. And never ate another one the rest of his life, even after I’ve made DOZENS of scones on this blog. Slightly crunchy on the outside,...

I’ve never been able to get granola bars to stay together after baking.  They would look good, I would let them cool and then as soon as I went to cut them, they would crumble. And I would have just made granola.  My friend Nicole from Prevention RD makes an amazing granola, and she uses whipped egg whites as a binder. And that worked! I...

These blueberry vanilla latte muffins turned out delicious.  But it was because my first recipe sucked ass.  😂 Pretty sure you can tell which muffin worked out.  This is why baking is foreign to me.  When I am cooking something, I can taste as I go.  With baking you pretty much have to wait until it is cooked.  My thought process was that by adding...

Drop the mic on this North Carolina Pork BBQ sandwich.  It ticks all the boxes for me:  juicy pork, with crispy bits, cheddar cheese, crisp red cabbage, pickles #swoon. I was told by quite a lot of people that my North Carolina BBQ sauce is actually a western style. North Carolina takes their BBQ very seriously, so since mine has ketchup (or tomato based) this...
