Colorful recipes with seasonal food
Needing a delicious burger but low carbing it so a bun is out of the question? Not anymore! We used a simple fathead dough to make the buns, an even more simple coleslaw and garlic aioli as toppings, and crushed pork rinds to coat the chicken and came up with THE BEST keto friendly…
One of the things I find tricky about eating keto is finding interesting veggie side dishes to accompany whatever meat dish I’m having. Green beans and asparagus are great but a girl needs more options! I came up with this recipe after seeing some deep fried mushrooms on Pinterest. I initially was going to deep…
I had a friend gift me a bag of chana/gram flour a little while ago. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with it until Sue reminded me that pakoras are made with chana flour! Pakoras are pretty much the most delicious things on the planet. I decided to go with veggie…
A few months ago I set out to make an entire Thanksgiving meal that was keto friendly (Be sure to check back for that post). One of my favorite dishes to come out of that was this keto stuffing. It is delicious and you’d never know it wasn’t “regular” stuffing. You only use half…

You might have come to this recipe because of the word “keto” in the title but I have to tell you, whether keto or not, this is one of the best fried fish recipes EVER. So crispy and flavorful! The homemade tartar sauce goes very well with it too so I recommend spending the…
Candy apples are a Halloween staple. They are super inexpensive, fairly easy, and always look sooooo shiny and cool. I did black this year for Halloween as a Poison Apple – which would work well for a snow white theme as well. You can make your candy apples any color you like! Just add your…
If you are doing low carb or keto then you know noodles tend to be off the menu. I found these great konjac noodles that work as a sub in most recipes that have zero net carbs. Yes, the texture is a little weird…to me anyway…. they are far chewier than “normal” noodles. But…
Looks like a regular beef stew, doesn’t it? It tastes like a delicious, comforting, beef stew but it is keto friendly! How? Well, we left out the potatoes and put in a few turnips instead. You could also use daikon if you have it. We used a little xanthan gum as a thickener instead…
I am never making another macaroni and cheese recipe again. This is the one! It has the most amazing flavor. You know how most mac & cheese is just “meh”… like, not terrible but not *jazz hands*. This is super *jazz hands* with a little *razzle dazzle* thrown in for good measure. It is a…

The toughest part of creating a new recipe is coming up with a name. I am TERRIBLE at naming recipes. I either go with way too much information in the title and it ends up being 4 paragraphs long, or I try to be all clever and completely miss the mark. This time I…
I love donuts of all kinds. Beignets are adorable little bite sized donuts that… if you stuff with Oreos… are exactly what heaven tastes like. Pretty sure. Donuts of any kind are always a little bit of work because you have to make the dough, let it rise, shape it, let it rise, then…
I previously posted this recipe in an Instagram post, but since I make it so much, I figured it would be easier to find here for future reference. The sauce recipe is adapted from Lev Grossman’s Best General Tso Tofu recipe on Food52, and the idea to use sweet potato starch as the coating for…
I learned recently that there are at least 2 different kinds of challah: the sweet, eggy Ashkenazi version which is probably what most people think of when they think of challah, and the Sephardic version, which is found in the Breaking Breads and Pastry Love cookbooks. I’ve made both versions, but I like making the…
I’ve been on a bit of a cupcake making bender lately. Remember when cupcakes were at the top of the social media dessert food chain? Cupcakes…everywhere… Let’s bring those days back. I mean… cupcakes are everything. Cake you can hold in your hand… the perfect dessert. And options? holy heck the choices cupcakes offer!…
Anyone else about done with this year? I mean… I know it’s only just barely coming into fall but I figure if we start with the Christmas/Thanksgiving/Halloween posts maybe we can just rush through the rest of this year and start new in January…. It might help. You never know. Anyway, this adorable little…
Hold on to your hats garlic lovers. This burger is going to blow your mind! I used garlic grown in our nephew’s garden so it was SUPER garlic-y. If you are using mild garlic then I would recommend using more than the recipe calls for. After you eat one of these bad boys you should…
Well this is my first post in almost a year, so you know these are worth making! I’ve been trying to find a sourdough waffle recipe that I like as much as Smitten Kitchen’s essential raised waffles, but none of the ones I tried really had the flavor or texture I was looking for. Then…
Nothing beats a frosty pina colada when the summer heat gets crazy. Even better? This Pina Colada Cloud dessert! It’ll transport you to the tropics while you are staying at home in your own backyard. Make it in a 9 X 13 pan for a bigger group OR in 2 – 8 inch pans if…
Sue and I eat a lot of sandwiches. Sandwiches are awesome. What is weird is that we haven’t shared a lot of sandwiches on our blog. We definitely need to fix that. I’m going to start right now by sharing one of our favorites. A Cuban sandwich. You can make this on normal bread but…
Did you know that rhubarb and raspberry are an amazing combo? I thought they’d be too tart together but when you mix them in a cake and throw on some streusel they are juuuuuuuust right. I didn’t add nuts to the topping but, believe me, they’re a great addition as well. I developed this recipe…
