This is a recipe I developed from the fact I had a bunch of chicken bones left over. I do a lot of food prep, including baking chicken breast and pork tenderloin so it is ready to eat throughout the week. Normally I buy boneless skinless breasts, but all they had were bone-in. So I [...]
This dessert is one last hurrah before it gets too warm to use the oven. I wanted a challenge to see if I could take something that contains something as sweet as bananas and bring down the sugar level to something more manageable. Also, it just looked really good. Who doesn't love a good crumble [...]
Michigan is warming up, kinda. Well, we seem to have one day that feels almost like Summer, then the next a bit of frost. Tony says Mother Nature got April and May mixed up this year. I agree. Things are moving along around here. Tony is starting work on a documentary project. He has been [...]
This week's recipe is a fruit-based dessert, that is really easy to make. I love fruit-based desserts and non-fruit-based desserts. I happen to like more fruit-based desserts when it gets hot outside, when chocolate, peanut butter and caramel feel a bit too heavy. This recipe comes from Southern Living for Cakey Strawberry Cobbler. A cobbler [...]
I can't seem to get enough bean recipes. Dry beans are no sweat with the Instant Pot. Throw the dry beans in the pot with the rest of the ingredients and after 35 minutes of cook time, they are perfectly cooked, even if they are old. Using the traditional cooking method, sometimes I would get [...]

You have a cookie AND the filling. Depending on the cookie and the filling, the calorie count, as well [...]
This recipe was influenced by my Mom. I am always looking for ways to increase my eastern European recipe repertoire. The last time she visited, all she wanted to eat for dinner was the Polish Bigos I made. Any time I come across a new eastern European recipe, I want to update it for her. [...]
I love America's Test Kitchen's gluten free brownies. They are awesome, but over 200 calories a piece. Not to mention high in sugar. I don't want to delete brownies from my life completely. With the Cinnamon Roll Cake [add link] being a hit with the changes I made, that's not to say they won't work [...]
I swear getting older sucks. Not that I'm concerned about being someone I was twenty years ago, but I don't want to relegate myself to giving up. I gained around fifteen pounds over the last year from a combination of stress, hormones and new medication. I'm not happy about it. Now that I am in [...]
I came across a recipe for Cinnamon Roll Cake from Life, Love and Sugar while perusing recipe. I first thought about the last time I had a cinnamon roll, which was over 10 years ago. I'm not exaggerating, I've been gluten free at least that long. My next thought was how I can take this [...]
