Blueberry-Lemon Muffins (or Scones)
I used the scone/biscuit version and scooped onto cookie sheet to make these.The golden color came from fresh eggs! I have always considered pastries for breakfast as a treat, something that I would maybe only do on vacation or a business trip. Unfortunately, after I have eaten them and got my one minute of…

Homemade Almond Milk
If you told me 6 months ago I would be drinking almond milk much less making it I would have told you that stuff is for the birds! Well, apparently I am eating with the birds now. 😉 Not really, but I am loving some almond milk! I usually by the unsweetened stuff in the refrigerator section…
Fried Eggplant with Marinara
I think I have found the one savory food that is more addictive than wheat or sugar! The only reason I didn’t eat the entire batch is because I wanted my husband to try it when he got home. Well, only 4 pieces made it to his plate! 😉 The crunchy eggplant with the…
Adobo Chicken with Seasoned Yellow “Rice”
Chicken and rice was a staple in our house growing up. It was a great one pot meal and if we got yellow rice, that was a treat! This ain’t my mama’s chicken and rice! Experience the flavors of China at home with your very own rice cooker for perfect rice every time. …
Cheesy-Cheese Garlic Biscuits (Grain-Free Red Lobster Biscuits)
Biscuits…. revisited! I have made a COUPLE THOUSAND of these little jewels since I first posted this recipe over 1 year ago! These beauties were the #1 sellers at the Farmer’s Market and I would make 12-15 dozen twice a month and usually sold out! Yeah, they are that good! People who didn’t…
Roux-less Chicken & Sausage Gumbo
11-9-12 Update: I made this again last night. Delicious as always but I was unable to get the same smoked sausage I normally use so it was lacking that nice smokey flavor. My solution, I added smoked paprika and my Cajun House Seasoning at the end. SO good! Also, be sure to add the pepper…

Dairy free version using only coconut milk instead of whipped cream! Coconut-Almond Flour Cake-Waffles Is it waffles for breakfast or cake for dessert??? You decide with this versatile recipe.

Almond-Butter Spice Breakfast Cookies
Now that is a mouth full! Every time I think of muffin tops, I think about the Seinfeld episode where Elaine only eats the tops of the muffins and starts a business selling muffin tops. She sells only the tops after removing the bottom from the muffin and donating to charity. Problems come as charity wouldn’t take…
Meal Planning for a Week
Life is so hectic! You work 8-10 hours a day, then there is traffic. At home you have laundry and dishes waiting on you, not to mention homework and screaming hungry kids. I can’t help with getting the clothes folded (except suggest that you get your kids to do it) but I can help…
Margarita Meatza Pizza
Who says you can’t have pizza! This will be a hit with the kids I am sure! You won’t even miss the bread and you will get full much quicker and not feel like you are about to go into a diabetic coma after eating it (like I used to after eating regular pizza). I…
Easy Breakfast Sausage Balls
This recipe is intended for breakfast, but by changing some of the spices would make another great meatball recipe as well as a great appetizer for a party. Normally sausage balls are filled with Bisquick but not these and they taste so much better. The Bisquick is just a filler, so lets skip that and get…
Sweet, Tangy & Spicy BBQ Sauce
I LOVE BBQ SAUCE!!! I love it on burger, chicken, pork, just about everything. I problem with the stuff you buy in the stores is all the sugar and preservatives in it. This recipe is a great backbone for the addition of other spices that you may like in your BBQ sauce. The key ingredient and the source…

Homemade Chocolate Chunks
Like most women, and men I guess, I love CHOCOLATE!!! There is just something about it. I actually find that I like it more now, than I used to. Don’t give me that milk chocolate stuff, too sweet and not enough chocolate for the Chocoholic! In the grocery store, you can’t find low carb…
Easy Cajun Chicken Alfredo
This recipe is for my sister. When I lived in Georgia, we would go to Applebee’s and eat their Chicken Broccoli Pasta Alfredo. It was divine. She likes it so much that she makes it at home using the boxed noodles with powdered Alfredo sauce. This recipe is better than Applebee’s and is so easy to…
