I MADE SKINNY GLUTEN FREE PIZZA! In 2016 I made a gluten free pizza recipe for a friend who had a gluten intolerance.   This was before I made the skinny pizza dough, and well, lots of people wanted a gluten free skinny pizza dough. I had that dream too! 😁 What is the difference between gluten free flours? There are so many differences between brands...

These peanut oat bites with dark chocolate are so delicious – peanuts are packed with 19 vitamins! They are the perfect heart healthy snack and these peanut oat bites with dark chocolate are the perfect #mealprep snack. I use Lily’s sugar free dark chocolate chips – so good!   These are the perfect snack - sweet, salty and delicious! What makes peanuts good for you? A...

This spicy tomato soup is delicious.  Best part is that it doesn’t taste like pasta sauce which used to happen to me in my early cooking days. Fun fact about me though is that I hate tomatoes. Sliced on a cutting board with the seed guts spilling out – ew! But I love tomatoey things. Pasta sauce, pizza sauce and one of my favorite soups...

I wish you guys could have smelled these All American Summer Berry Muffins when they came out of the oven.  They scream summer! I don’t bake much, but every time I do I feel I need to bake more.  This recipe uses regular sugar, but you could sub in Truvia if you like to bring down the points.  Sometimes using real sugar is worth it...

The app Timehop reminded me last week that it had been six years since I made a peach pie. In July 2014 my late husband hadn’t been feeling well all year.  It started with a trip to the ER on New Years Eve.  My husband hadn’t been working and we were waiting to see if his disability would be approved, which turned out to be...

This carrot potato mash was a happy accident. I’ve been doing Mariano’s pick up groceries since I am not on Day 11 of no results yet of my COVID test.  The sweet girl who did my shopping called me and said “we don’t have any one pound bag of carrots, can I substitute a pound of baby carrots? Um, the question to that answer will...

I remember my Mom making morning glory muffins growing up.  She must have made them often, or maybe when she did make them a few times they made an impression, but I loved them.  I am probably sure I didn’t know there were veggies in there! My idea to make these morning glory muffins came to me when I realized I had a zucchini, one...

When my husband was alive, I tried to “trick” him into eating healthier things under the guise of something else.  Like these buffalo cauliflower bites I made the other night – I may have attempted to pass them off as chicken!! My favorite story though is when I thought I could trick my husband by adding red quinoa into his meatballs and spaghetti.  I literally...

This mock mojito with sugar free simple syrup is so delicious, you won’t miss the vodka. On July 1 I declared that July was going to be #dryjuly and give up alcohol for the month.  It corresponds with my DietBet that starts today (not too late to join! click here to get the details!)  and in order for me to lose 4%. of my body...

Yes, I am one of those people who can eat soup all year round.  And this cauliflower and potato soup is delicious. It’s an awesome way to use up leftovers, and when I saw I had cauliflower – soup was decided! The best part about this cauliflower and potato soup is that the base of the soup is not only vegetarian, but also VEGAN!  I...
