What is it about Christmas that just makes you crave warm cups of espresso? Or is it just me?? These cookies are inspired from one of my favorite drinks. Espresso with caramel and mocha sauce. These chewy chocolate chip cookies have dark chocolate chips, espresso chips, and are stuffed with caramel. They are perfect for […]
My instapot is my favorite kitchen appliance when it starts getting cold out. I love being able to get big flavors in half the time. This soup is easy to make with minimal ingredients, but still delivers hearty bites! I started by caramelizing two large yellow onions with butter and a spoonful of brown sugar. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]

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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
