I still have some turkey legs in my freezer to use up. With the Instant Pot, I think I can put it to good use by using the bone-in legs to make a flavorful broth and dried beans to save sodium. But I don't want to make another boring turkey soup. Not that a good [...]
I'm doing another dessert this week. I know it's not the holidays any more, but my doing a dessert, I am being strategic. Since I am at home, I am not using as many of my frozen leftovers. Tony wants to stay on lentils and rice for a while to lower his calorie intake. So [...]
I will admit this week I chose this recipe because I wanted to do some beef stew and try some more things with my Instant Pot. I managed a solid second try with making almond milk yogurt. Still working on perfecting this. Using whole milk was easy to make yogurt with. Non-dairy milk, not so [...]
Update from the last post. I bought the Instant Pot. I am doing some experimenting to see what works. I'm finding following the direction is a bit difficult because there is so much variation with different types of food. I tried my Lentils and Rice recipe and didn't let it vent long enough and there [...]
Tony asked me if I would do more bean dishes. Of course I will. There's nothing like a comforting bowl of beans and rice on a cold day. I see no end in sight for different types of dishes. I keep thinking that I will run out of options, but so far I haven't. It's [...]
Happy New Year everyone! Let's hope this year goes better than the last. Hopefully you have learned about building your own workout station at home. With COVID, it's a good excuse not to give the gym your hard earned money. Make sure who you follow is legit too. Anyone can say they are professionals, but [...]
You have probably noticed that I have been posting some desserts. I realized I had some good ones and figured you may want something that was not so bad for your diet. This recipe for "Thin Mint" cookies is a gluten free copycat recipe from Kroger. I made these last year and they turned out [...]
This recipe came to me when I realized I had a huge container of unsweetened applesauce and nothing to do with it. Plus, I really wanted apple pie, but I didn't want to spend the ridiculous amount of calories on that. I am also lowering my carb intake. I found that the weight gain I [...]
Now that I have made a recipe with the turkey legs, there is still the business of cooking the leftover bits. This includes the neck, backbone, giblets and the rest of the turkey frame. I typically like to use a slow cooker for this because it does such a good job bringing out goodness from [...]
I hope you had a socially distanced Thanksgiving. I know it's not been ideal, but I can safely say you want your family to be around for future holidays. Our small group quarantined for 14 days and did single serving dishes and kept our distance on the day of. My mother didn't come down to [...]
