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 [...]
When you think of stuffed cookies, what comes to mind? Probably a bunch of good thoughts on the taste and the ooey, gooey filling. You know what doesn't? How many calories are in a stuffed cookie. 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 [...]
This recipe comes from the former Soviet republic of Georgia. Georgia became independent of the Soviet Union in 1991. There are several different regions with their own unique dishes. One of the most famous Georgian dish is Khachapuri, which is an egg and cheese filled yeast leavened bread. There are many others. If you want [...]
I'm making oatmeal cookies this week, because I really want them. I haven't had an oatmeal cookie in a long time. I'm talking at least a few years. I love them. With or without raisins makes no difference. Why should I go without because I am lowering my sugar and carb intake? Time to get [...]
Things are pretty busy around our house. Between working from home, working on personal projects, getting our new home ready and making some upgrades to our current house, there's a lot to do. Even with all of this, I refuse to go for takeout when I can make something healthy and, quite frankly, better that [...]
I really wanted to do a cake recipe this week. One thing I don't get to eat very often is cake. With the sugary and buttery base with a sugary and butter frosting, a decent piece can blow your calorie budget for the day. I decided I was going to try a low sugar version [...]
