BUTTER CHICKEN 1

Dairy Free Butter Chicken (Low Carb)

I’ve made this dish 3 times!  Each time I keep making it spicier and perfecting the sauce:D  To be perfectly honest I don’t remember how spicy or “curry like” butter chicken is suppose to taste.  I haven’t had “real” butter chicken in at least 5 years.  This recipe was inspired by Rob, a guy I [...]

Homemade Hamburgers

That wonderful time of year is fast approaching!  Barbeque season!  I hope you are not planning on buying hamburgers from a box…that would just be sad.  Some manufactured hamburgers contain fillers like bread crumbs.  It is so easy to make homemade hamburgers I want to encourage everyone to try.  Then to make it even easier, [...]

BANANA WAFFLES 2 - WATERMARK

Banana Waffles (Low Carb & Gluten Free)

To my surprise today is national Pancake Day.  I didn’t even know they had a day devoted to pancakes.  I expect a day to be devoted to chocolate, peanut butter, stuff like that but not pancakes.  I joined Foodbuzz two months ago and I see bloggers post recipes for these “food theme” days but it’s [...]

Deconstructed Omelette

I woke-up yesterday like normal; sleepy, grumpy, and tired of living in a construction zone.  The hardwood floors are being redone, which means they were stripped of the old varnish/stain (LOTS of dust), and now we are in the stages of staining some sections and applying varnish to other sections.  The beach house smells so [...]

Aspartame Free & Loving It!

I’ve been aspartame free for almost a month!  I think everyone knows by now that aspartame is not good for you.  Yet it’s in everything: pop, toothpaste, gum…  I don’t drink pop.  I’ve never been a pop drinker.  I really hate the fizzy drink taste.  I’m a water/wine girl.  Switching to a different pop was [...]

Super Easy Peanut Butter Cookies (Low Carb & Gluten Free)

Peanut butter.  I feel like that is all I have to say.  Peanut butter sums it up.  I love peanut butter.  Peanut butter loves me:D  We are meant to be! These cookies are addictive.  So addictive I’m putting what I haven’t finished eating in the freezer for another day.  You see this cookie looks all [...]

Twice Baked Sour Cream & Chives Faux Potatoes (Low Carb)

Ohhhh cauliflower…  I think of cauliflower as the tofu of the low carb world.  This little vegetable takes on so many flavours of other foods.  It becomes fried rice, pizza dough, breadsticks, and finally potatoes.  I remember once watching a documentary about a community in British Columbia going on a low carb diet.  The owner [...]

How to Cut Carbs in Jam by 50%

Chia seeds can be used to reduce anything.  They can be used to reduce fat in a recipe, replace eggs, reduce calories, reduce carbs, and add omega 3 fatty acids.   You probably thought they were just for chia pets!  For this experiment I used chia seeds to reduce the carbs in my jam.  Jam is [...]

Paleo Almond Flour Pizza

Pizza is a staple in my life.  When I posted about Paleo pizza I mentioned I liked two pizza videos.  Here is the second video.  This pizza recipe uses almond flour.  It is derived from a recipe by Mark’s Daily Apple.  The author of the video, Darren McDuffie, shows you step by step how to [...]

How to Make Whipped Cream with Coconut Milk

This recipe is great for anyone who is trying to consume less dairy or has a dairy allergy.  I often replace coconut milk for heavy cream in my own recipes.  Coconut milk has so many uses.  I have shown before that it can be used to make caramel sauce (my current obsession:D).  You can make [...]
