We had a wild Halloween weekend filled with kids! Friday the kids dressed up and we went to a food truck event. I was so excited about my Chicago dog until I saw Patrick’s bulgogi tacos. Everything was delicious and the weather was gorgeous! On Saturday the nephews came so we had 5 kids ranging […]
Low Carb Pesto Chicken Quesadilla
Sometimes I just really crave pasta. Something about a big bowl of noodles with garlic bread is so comforting after a long day. Pesto specifically has been on my mind. Since I’ve been eating low carb low sugar I typically only have pasta once a month if that. I had to find an alternative that […]
Smoked Pork Sliders
Do you ever shop the bargain cook book section at Barnes and Nobles? I get suckered in every time! I came home with two cook books the other day that are filled with inspiration. Since I’ve been doing Keto I feel like I was in a cooking rut. These buns clearly are not low carb, […]
Louisiana BBQ Shrimp
We always order Cajun shrimp. In our neighborhood there is always an amazing seafood boil a stone throw away. I wanted to branch out and try something a little different. The flavor of this sauce is unlike anything I’ve ever tried! I made mountain bread in our cast iron skillet and could not wait to […]
Garlic Parmesan Pretzels
Last weekend we were at the mall and the kids wanted to stop for pretzels. Something about the warm buttery dough sprinkled with salt makes me think of summer. Long pool days and mall shopping with lots of pretzel bites. I wanted to take our favorite treat up a notch with garlic butter, fresh herbs, […]
Bee Sting Cake
We spent our mini moon after the wedding in a tiny German inspired town. One of the big things I noticed was all the baked goods were light and airy with some sort of almond topping. I really wanted to try making a classic Bee Sting Cake. A cross between a bread and cake with […]
Sweet and Spicy Sticky Chicken
There is a restaurant near us that serves a platter of super spicy crispy chicken, potato wedges, pickled radish, cold corn and tons of dipping sauces. We were shopping the local section in Publix and came across locally made pepper jellies. I knew right away I wanted to make a glaze with the peach jalapeño […]
Pizza Flatbread
If you live anywhere near a Sprouts farmers market you definitely need to download their app. We discovered recently that you can do all your shopping on the app to make a list or have everything delivered! Since I am currently obsessed with fresh lemon and herbs we have been going to the store every […]
Grilled Chicken Adobo Bowls
It has officially been a month since we got married! Today is actually my birthday. Patrick took the day off so we could spent some time together. We have both been working crazy hours to catch up from our wedding time off. The entire past month has honestly been a blur. We got back our […]
Everything Bagel Creamy Grits
When I think breakfast I think savory, fluffy, toasty buttered breads. One of our favorite breakfast sandwiches is an everything bagel with eggs and bacon. The garlic onion crunchy topping is perfect. Sometimes I am in the mood for something quick and we usually don’t have bread in the house so I experimented with some […]
