Moghrabieh
I had other plans on what I was going to cook this week. I have some turkey legs I need to use up. I am still working through some meat that was in the broken freezer. I was originally going to do chicken and dumplings. I still will. However, I watched an episode from Middle [...]
Lower Carb Pumpkin Cranberry Cake

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 [...]
