So excited to share with you this recipe!! How do you make cornbread without corn you ask? I answer: keep reading, it is not as hard as you may think! The salty, crunchy crust is my favorite part! This recipe was definitely inspired by my southern roots growing up in a small rural town in Georgia.…
Kids and adults alike will love these cupcakes! Feel free to use raspberries if you like but I just love strawberries. To make a 9×13, simply double recipe. You may still have enough batter to make a few cupcakes. I chose to use the Dairy Free Version because the coconut milk and oil make this cake…
This is such an easy dish using some of the best veggies and herbs from the garden. The cucumber takes this caprese salad to the next level. I eat this with a spoon so I can be sure to get all of the balsamic vinaigrette out of the bowl! Nothing better…
It’s that time of year again in the South, harvest time for our summer veggies. There is always an abundance of zucchini and squash at our house from my in-law’s garden. This lasagna replaces traditional noodles with zucchini and has a spinach and ricotta filling as well. And don’t forget about the spicy meat sauce.…
Yes, I said bacon fried green beans! I probably could have said bacon fried celery and you would have still opened up the recipe! 😉 This is such an easy dish. The key is to “fry” but not burn the green beans. Fresh-frozen green beans can be used but I prefer fresh. They have a…

Say Happy Father’s Day with this Delicious Chocolate Cheesecake! Yes, I said SUGAR FREE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE!!! My 3 favorite foods, Chocolate, Cheese and Cake!! I knew this would not be an easy task. Making any dessert sugar free isn’t easy but making a dessert where chocolate is the main ingredient doesn’t make it any…
I am not a big fan of chicken breast! Actually, I really dislike them! I am on the cusp of using the word “hate”! They are usually always dry and not satisfying to me due to their lack of fat. I prefer the dark meat, particularly thighs because they are so succulent and tasty. Well, this recipe…
I had no clue one year ago that the birth of my first son would be such a life changing, monumental experience! Motherhood has been the most amazing event of my life and I am so thankful to God for the precious gift He has trusted me with! This year has passed so…
“Happy Mother’s Day” I love, love, LOVE Strawberries! We only have a few more weeks of strawberry season here in Louisiana so I want to make as many recipes using fresh strawberries as I can, although I know we can order an 8 oz strawberry kiwi jam for sale online if we need…
Who hasn’t eaten a Frosty or two? I have had my share of Wendy’s sugary concoction but I will no longer buy them instead, I will make my own, the no sugar, all natural version. A small Frosty from Wendy’s is 300 calories which comes from the 50 grams of carbohydrates or SUGAR! Small Original…
Who says you can’t have soup in the summer (or when it is May and 90 something degrees outside!) I just love tomatoes and fresh basil I love making Tomato Bail Soup. I usually serve it warm but for tonight, I think I will serve it chilled. I got hooked on La Madeline’s soup when I moved…
Coconut and strawberries, the perfect combination. I love ice cream and I have made it every way known to man. Well, at least know to me! Hand churned is way too much work. It’s a pain in the you know what to get the big ice cream maker out and have to deal with rock…

After a trip to Baton Rouge’s Red Stick Farmer’s Market, I always leave with fresh produce, pecans and great raw cheeses! Some of my favorite veggies are: tomatoes, cauliflower and last but not least, broccoli. I love broccoli! It doesn’t have to be cooked and covered with cheese to taste good although that would have…
I love salmon! Unfortunately, it is so expensive so we don’t eat it fresh that often. Growing up, we never had fresh salmon but we ate plenty of salmon patties. This recipe came about today as I was wondering what my son and I were going to eat for lunch because I sent the leftovers…
This is one of my favs! It’s quick and it’s tasty, the latter being the most important! This is also a Dairy-Free recipe. I intended to cook this recipe in the crock pot but I still can’t find it from the move so I just started it on top of the stove by…

Yes, I did it! I have gone where no one has gone before…. My challenge was to re-create yummy macaroni and cheese that taste just as good as what your mom used to make but not use any grain product or imitation cheese. Mission ACCOMPLISHED! The macaroni and cheese my mom used to make was simple. Macaroni…
You have got to try this!!! Probably not what you think of when you want a smoothie but I have found that basil pairs very well with so many different fruits, especially pineapple! This recipe was inspired by a Pineapple-Basil Gelato I had years ago at Whole Foods. Since then I have used basil…
