I'm back from this round of traveling. I went to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to teach a class. If you have heard about it, but have never been, it's a great place to visit. I taught the class on the campus of Michigan Tech. For those who are not familiar with this university, it's [...]

Almond-Pumpkin Seed Cake with Chocolate Ganache
I feel like I can't catch a break. This summer will be travel, catch up, local conference, catch up and repeat. I'm happy to travel and do all kinds of fun things, but not being home or in the office much takes its toll. So a short post this week. This week I'm doing a [...]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars
This week I'm getting ready for a conference and I spent some time doing car work. The conference is our big annual conference, where over 1,000 people of many professions come together. It's fun, but a lot of work. I help people get continuing education for our sessions and that is daunting, but always worth [...]
Lemon Layer Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Buttercream
You know when you have certain things in your family health history that you know will affect you some day? I knew one day that my cholesterol would no longer stay controlled. I have been lucky so far that I have been able to keep my bad cholesterol in check by diet and exercise. Well [...]
Lower Carb Mississippi Mud Cake
Another busy week. I spent most of it on work related stuff. Tony got a root canal. I've never seen a man so happy to do that. I understand why. He had an infection and a lot of pain. He waited too long to get it done. He was also expecting to be laid up [...]
Low Sugar Honey Cinnamon Bars
I think I've made it through the jet lag. It took me about a week. I won't be doing any travelling for a few months. I am glad for that. I love to travel, but I didn't like how the vacation went. Travel woes happen. I have had many trips that didn't go as planned. [...]
Low Carb Brûlée Butterscotch Brownies
Now that we are back in the swing of things, I can get back to more of my recipes. I can also look back and give you the details of how our trip went. When I said it was fun, I lied. I wrote the last post ahead of time assuming the trip was going [...]
Low Sugar Toasted Almond and Coconut Cake with White Chocolate Ganache
This week has been busy. Tony has been working extra hours at our old house to get it ready. We were hoping to sell it, but his Mom may be moving there instead. It's up in the air right now. We're not sure what's going to happen. We have to be ready for any possibility. [...]
Oatmeal Cake
This week I have been doing some thinking about a subject that I find concerning. The reason that it has come to mind in the first place is because two women in our family are basically being dumped by the men in their lives because they don't want to care for them when they get sick. One [...]
Gingerbread Cookie Bars
This week I spent some time working on my car. It was a heater core flush. What can happen in a car over time is gunk gets trapped in the heater core and causes the heat to not work. Now, it could also be the thermostat, but a flush should do the trick. Essentially it's hooking up some clear [...]
