This week I am thinking about goals. I think about goals a lot, including fitness goals. It's easy to get stagnant. I have a couple of fitness goals I am working towards: running a sub nine minute mile and lose the extra weight I gained during the menopause time. I'm pretty disciplined already. However, I [...]

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 [...]
Quick And Easy Mexican Rice And Beans
I finally have enough room for a new savory dish. This week I'm going back to something simple with tried and true recipe: rice and beans. If I want to keep it simple and nutritious, I do this. I'm keeping it simple because we got back from our trip and I don't want to be [...]
On Recovery
We've been travelling a bit over the past several days, so no recipe this week. I thought it might be good to talk about recovery. This topic came about because of becoming ill after I was working towards increasing my running speed. I knew that week I was becoming ill because my run that Monday [...]
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 [...]
Roasted Cauliflower & Potato Curry Soup with Tempeh
I am FINALLY through the apples. Time for a savory dish. I've been so busy lately, I am going for something simple this week. Lots of things are happening at work all at once. Our old house is still coming along. Too many things. Before I get to the recipe I wanted to bring up something off topic: mask [...]
Low Carb Apple Slab Pie
This week I'm working on installing some flooring in our old house. Took some time off work to do it. While this vacation time is being used for working, I do FINALLY have a real vacation coming up soon. Who'd have thought. I'm looking forward to a road trip. Tony is looking forward to that and a hockey game. He was [...]
