Have you ever noticed that some things are never really low sodium. Like ham or many Asian sauces. Hot dogs are another one of those things. When a hot dog is listed as "low sodium", it's still very high. I wanted to set out to make our own low sodium hot dogs, but didn't know [...]
This time of year, I start getting free veggies from friends. Even at work, people bring in their excess squashes and other veggies. I happily partake. This recipe come about because one of our friends gave us a summer squash. I had to figure out what to do with it. I love squash sautéed with [...]
This week I am really busy. I took the week off to help Tony with our house. This leave little time to cook. With being the case I thought I would share with you one of my cold lunch staples this year. I have been making the Shawarma Spiced Salad that I shared before. I [...]
Before I get started with this recipe, I wanted to make another plea. PLEASE GET VACCINATED!!!! I understand there are still people out there who are afraid to get the shot. It doesn't matter, get your vaccination to protect the people who cannot. There are children under 12 and immunocompromised folks that need your help [...]
This week's recipe came about because of a video from Beryl Shereshewsky on YouTube regarding how the world eats mangoes. I love watching her videos because she is so young, yet so worldly. She understands several languages, including Russian. I wish I was that worldly myself. One of the dishes presented in this video was [...]
I grew up on a hobby farm. If you are not familiar with a hobby farm, it's basically a farm that is not your job and livelihood. We had horses and beef steer as well as a huge vegetable garden. We even had a small orchard with all types of fruit trees. While the chores [...]
I was watching another cooking show at night in our living room and Tony pops in and says, "I miss meatloaf". Then he pauses and follows it with, "But, it won't fit in our diet. I'd be all for a meatloaf that was low sugar, salt and carbs." Challenge accepted. Meatloaf is so versatile, it [...]
I am sending a copy of this post to my brother. The reason for this is he is a die hard pumpkin pie lover. He would rather have a pumpkin pie on his birthday than cake. His birthday is in August, when baking a pumpkin pie would be a little hard to do. It's still [...]
To say I love Beef Stroganoff is an understatement. When I was a kid, I almost always chose this dish as my dinner on my birthday. I wouldn't turn it down today, either. Why do I love this dish so much? It is creamy, beefy, and filling. I've made many different versions of this dish, [...]
I love pie, but outside of Thanksgiving, you won't see me making one from scratch. It's too much work. The pie crust is finicky and the slices can not come out evenly for calorie counts. Pies like lemon meringue are even more work. Making a crust and a meringue is a lot. I think I [...]
