New bakeware (aka: cheap thrills)

September 20, 2016 By Tamera Alexander

Y'all already know I love to bake. But I gotta tell ya… Since I moved to a low carb/gluten-free lifestyle, I am having a blast with baking with almond flour, coconut flour, coconut oil, flax seed meal, Swerve, and other ingredients I'd not used much before.

A few of my favorite low carb things

August 2, 2016 By Tamera Alexander

I am LOVING this newly adapted low carb lifestyle! I'd been considering cutting back on carbs for a while—which represents a huge decision for this Carb Queen.

Where Do You Find Your Recipes?

March 25, 2016 By Becky Wade

At best, I'm an adequate cook.  I can follow a recipe proficiently.  But I can't improvise and definitely can't create recipes of my own.  Also, I only enjoy making things like chocolate chip cookies.  Dinner preparation is not bliss for me.  Nor is eating what I cook.  I rarely eat one of my dinners and think, Yummy!  It's usually more like, Well, here's more healthy sustenance.  Since I cooked, … [Read more...]
