I am thrilled that I have a regular schedule this week. Travelling takes a lot out of me. I like to travel, but it's been getting harder and harder to be off schedule. I make sleep a priority. I refuse to buy into the "I slept the least" contest. The people who display their lack [...]

Low Carb Peanut Butter Sheet Cake
I finally done travelling for a while. I went to an exercise of our BioWatch program. If you are not familiar with exercises, it's not working out but practicing our emergency protocols. This way they are more familiar when an actual emergency occurs. BioWatch is a federal program. According to the Department of Homeland Security: [...]
Mustard Chicken
Another conference in the books. My presentation went well, but I didn't know it until after it was over. The audience didn't seem to be interested while I was giving it. However, after I was finished, several people came up to me afterwards telling me how interesting the presentation was. I'll definitely take it. All [...]
Golden Cauliflower Dal with Red Lentils, Bell Pepper, Coconut and Spinach
What a busy week! Tony has been working on our old house getting ready to sell. We have so much stuff! We have so much stuff because we accumulated things from others in the family. They didn't have room for it, so it ended up with us. That includes cars. One of our cars came [...]
Low Carb White Wine Cookies
I thought about doing a different recipe this week, but I had some white wine left over from last week. I decided to do something different that uses that. When I buy wine for a recipe, I usually buy something relatively inexpensive. Many cooks also say, use something you would drink. I think they are [...]
Lemony Greek Beef and Vegetables
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the water issue will be taken care of this week. We have a professional coming out to do the job. I know Tony likes to do things himself to save money, but he's just shooting in the dark at this point. Running the pump has been like having a [...]
Low Carb Lemon Coconut Bars
It's been a heck of a week this week. Rain made our water situation worse. As long as we don't get a ton of rain, the water is manageable. However, if there is a downpour, it's a nightmare. It's a problem that has been there for a while when his parents owned the house. We're [...]
Instant Pot Chili Beans, Tempeh and Greens Burrito Bowl
I love Rick Bayless and the interesting Mexican dishes he recreates. Every time I connect in Chicago, I eat at Fonterra Grill. I am still trying to get my hands on huitlacoche (a fungus that infects corn). His restaurants serve it. I sounds like something you would want to avoid, it infects corn after all. [...]
Lower Carb Avalanche Cookie
Here is another week where the house presents more problems. Luckily, I am well aware of how old houses work. This problem is actually in something new. The new plumbing under our kitchen sink was jury-rigged together by a friend who knew more about plumbing. Well, it's now leaking. Tony is working on making a [...]
Southwest Sorghum and Lentil Soup
We are finally this week working on our old house to get it ready for sale. Tony is starting by getting the holes patched and ready for paint. We still have a bunch of stuff over there that needs to be moved, sold or donated. I have a feeling most of the stuff will not [...]
