So much going on this week. I put new brake pads on my car. Ended up getting a bit of a workout doing so. Every time I do car work, I end up sweating a fair bit. Think about it, lifting heavy things and using some effort to loosen tight bolts. Not every workout has [...]

Low Carb Peanut Butter Cheesecake Cookie Bars
I am doing another dessert this week because I have way to many frozen meals and I need to pare them down. Who doesn't love more dessert? I'm still keeping these on the simple side because we have some friends we are entertaining this week and I have to change the brake pads on my [...]
Lower Carb Carrot and Zucchini Bars
Now that I'm back home, I wanted to do something pretty simple. All this travelling has taken a lot out of me. However, I can't leave dessert behind. I like having my sweet fix after dinner. I just can't help it. I also think it helps me to eat healthier. If you are constantly skipping [...]
Adding Protein to a Recipe
This is a repost of a post from the very beginning. I am traveling and will post new content next week. There are lots of great recipes out there. You can find them all over the Internet. You probably also have a ton of cookbooks at home. When you start eating healthier, does that mean [...]
Warm Chickpea Bowls With Lemony Yogurt
Now that I have a bunch of chickpeas to use up, I'm making another dish that uses them. Last week's recipe was a bust. One of the other things I forgot to mention is that they may have failed due to using sugar substitutes. Macrons are so finicky. Note for next week. I will be [...]
Vegan German Chocolate Macarons
These are NOT macarons I am doing this recipe as a trial run for Thanksgiving. Macarons are my sister-in-law's favorite cookies. I have been making these for her for years now. For those who want to attempt these cookies, these are not a beginner cookie. There is technique involved that takes a bit of practice. [...]
Vegan White Chickpea Chili
Since I have some chickpeas left over and I wanted to add to my repertoire of vegan recipes, I am doing a chickpea dish. I'm doing this for my sister-in-law too. One of the things I noticed when she cooked for us was the lack of protein in the dish. Everyone should eat enough protein. [...]
Low Carb Vegan Coffee Ice Cream
This week I learned that my sister in law has become a vegan. I think that's great! Even though we are not officially vegan, a lot of our dishes are vegan. Mostly because we don't do dairy in our house. Knowing this, it'll be good to strengthen my vegan muscles and test out a few [...]
White Bean Mushroom Soup
Our social life has been picking up as of late. That means I don't have as much time to cook. We got together with some friends for an evening in. I ended up cooking up a Middleastern spread with hummus, tabbouleh, keto pita, and hashweh. They brought a board game we had never heard of [...]
Lower Carb Death by Chocolate
This week I spent some time on the roof our our old house. I hate being on roofs and ladders. I'm not one of those people that likes heights and unstable ladders. Tony, on the other hand, it doesn't phase. Now I'm willing to do a lot of things. I've shoveled snow in sub-zero temperatures, [...]
