I've made pumpkin desserts and cranberry desserts. I have not made a dessert with both pumpkin AND cranberry. If they are both good on their own, maybe they would be great together. This is what I plan to make. I got the idea when I came across a recipe for Pumpkin and Cranberry Cake from [...]

Lower Carb Corn Cookies
This is a recipe for a cookie I have never heard of. We've all make cornbread in all of its forms, but I haven't made a corn cookie. I was intrigued by the concept. Going through the recipe I noticed one thing, most of the corn flavor comes from a can of creamed corn. Sounds [...]
Carrot, Lentil, and Chicken Chili
I am writing about a chili that I found that was just plain interesting. I've done chili with lentils before, but not with the base of carrots. I made chili with beets, why not with carrots? I can see this being a little sweeter than your typical chili. Carrots can make a wonderful base for [...]
A Lower Carb Fruitcake Bar
Did she just say "Fruitcake"? Yes, I said fruitcake. You may be wondering why I am doing a recipe for fruitcake. It's after the holidays, and the most reviled cake on the planet, isn't it? Go the the United Kingdom and it is served all over and is even wedding cake. I think you are [...]
Cuban Black Eyed Peas & Sweet Corn
Welcome to the new year! Welcome to another black eyed pea dish to wish us all good luck for the upcoming year. We will need it with COVID staying firmly in the mix. For those who are new to this blog, I pick a black eyed pea dish as my New Year's good luck charm. [...]
Lower Carb Whipped Shortbread
Whipped shortbread sounds like an oxymoron. Shortbread is not known for being light and airy. They are typically a dense crumbly cookie that's wonderfully buttery. So when I saw a recipe for Whipped Shortbread, I was skeptical but intrigued. It's the same basic ingredients, but the butter and sugar are whipped. I am all over [...]
Turkey Stew Provencal
As I have done in years past, I take the dark meat from a whole turkey and make it into a stew. Usually I cook the breast portion for Thanksgiving. This year, I didn't get the chance because I was too busy. However, I did find a low sodium whole turkey that I am cooking [...]
Sugar Free Ginger Snaps
Every year, I make homemade Ginger Snaps for the pumpkin pie crust for some of the pie. Tony loves these and so do I. They are spicy and delicious. Better than anything you can get in a box. I am starting with the America's Test Kitchen recipe for Whole Grain Ginger Snaps. If you like [...]
Sri Lankan Beet and Chicken Curry
Can you believe it? I still have beets to use up. Going through this journey of beet recipes, I am very surprised at what a beet can be used in. This recipe I am modifying is a Sri Lanken Beetroot Curry from the Flavor Blender. Who would have thought of using a beet in a [...]
Low Carb Pumpkin Bars
I'm finally getting around to doing a pumpkin dessert recipe. It wouldn't be fall without at least one. I love pumpkin pie as much as the rest of you, but I save that for Thanksgiving. I also know there are more sweets made with pumpkin than just pie. I found a really interesting recipe from [...]
