I’ve been stewing over this…

It's officially "that time of year" again. Time for fuzzy sweaters, thick socks and even thicker stews! Anyone who knows me knows that this is my most favorite-est time of the year. The sights, the smells, the traditions, and of course the foods. But you don't come here to read my musings on the best … Continue reading I’ve been stewing over this…

Do we have time for a quickie? (updated)

With these posts, I usually like to write some back story, or how/why I came up with the recipe. You know, some sort of fun beyond just the recipe itself. The only downside to that is (most times) only being able to post one recipe at a time. Between recipe conception, testing, nutrition research, photographing, … Continue reading Do we have time for a quickie? (updated)

Peanut butter cookies. These babies right here are why I feel so bad for people with peanut allergies (and … Continue reading Dat Cookie, Dough….

This Will Definitely Make You Toss Your Cookies…

Doesn't that just scream "read me!"? When it comes to writing, there are two things I just completely blank on: naming/titling things and conclusions. When it comes time to work on either of those, it's like someone switched my brain to television static. But that tid bit aside, here's the second post of Christmas Cookies … Continue reading This Will Definitely Make You Toss Your Cookies…

Christmas Cookies, Christmas Cookies…

Both of these are and can easily be made high protein with the addition of your favorite protein powder. I will include recipes for cookies with and without added protein so you can decide which you'd like to try!While there are lots of low carb cookie recipes, I have only ended up trying a handful … Continue reading Christmas Cookies, Christmas Cookies…

Speaking of Feeling Like Fudge…
