because food is sexy
Hickory smoked potato salad. Yes. Yup. I sure did. Listen, if you’re the type of potato salad person who has to have it ONE way every single time, you may wanna skip over this post. I’m one of those people who feel you can jazz potato salad up a plethora…
You need to make this delicious low-carb keto-friendly creamy cauliflower risotto. I’ll be honest, during this keto diet thing we’ve eaten a lot of the same things because we’re creatures of delicious habits. This keto cauliflower risotto is literally the one thing hubs requests me to make every single week.…
If you’re on a ketogenic diet and miss mashed potatoes, you’re going to looooove this roasted mashed cauliflower. It’s creamy and rich, yet light and ethereal on the tongue. The mouthfeel is so much lighter than regular potatoes, which can be gummy or heavy. I mean, mashed potatoes are delicious…

"Duck fat" just sounds sexy. Say it out loud, in your lowest bedroom voice -- I'll wait...see?? Doesn't it sound naughty :) It's a wonderful fat. Bacon fat and duck fat are the yin to the potatoes yang. You can't go wrong with either of them. I have to buy…
Since January 1, 2014, I've been focusing on my health and losing weight. I've lived off an 80% clean diet with plenty of exercise, and had to part delicious ways with my beloved heavy cream pastas, super cheesy yeast breads, and sugar-laden bowls of dairy. I mean, we still hook…
Listen, I love stuffing. I. Love. Stuffing. Nothing beats homemade stuffing. I knew that once I became an adult I'd have to make it from scratch like all of the lovely women in my family. You can seriously take your recipe variations to the moon, the possibilities of flavor are…
