This recipe comes from the former Soviet republic of Georgia. Georgia became independent of the Soviet Union in 1991. There are several different regions with their own unique dishes. One of the most famous Georgian dish is Khachapuri, which is an egg and cheese filled yeast leavened bread. There are many others. If you want [...]
I'm making oatmeal cookies this week, because I really want them. I haven't had an oatmeal cookie in a long time. I'm talking at least a few years. I love them. With or without raisins makes no difference. Why should I go without because I am lowering my sugar and carb intake? Time to get [...]
Things are pretty busy around our house. Between working from home, working on personal projects, getting our new home ready and making some upgrades to our current house, there's a lot to do. Even with all of this, I refuse to go for takeout when I can make something healthy and, quite frankly, better that [...]
I really wanted to do a cake recipe this week. One thing I don't get to eat very often is cake. With the sugary and buttery base with a sugary and butter frosting, a decent piece can blow your calorie budget for the day. I decided I was going to try a low sugar version [...]
I am ALWAYS looking for new recipes. However, I love it even more if I discover a new way to obtain them. As you probably know by now, I love America's Test Kitchen. Since Christopher Kimball left the show a while back, I never really followed him. That is until now. If you never heard [...]
I couldn't resist doing peanut butter cookies this week. I love peanut butter cookies, but they are another thing I usually avoid because the calories can add up quick. What I normally do with desserts I make is to make each serving only be a low amount of calories and I only have one. That [...]
I just can't help myself with beans and rice. We love it so much in our house that when I find a new way to do it, I jump right on it. This particular recipe for Sekihan is a Japanese recipe for rice and beans. The beans are adzuki beans which are a small red [...]
This week I wanted to make some cheesecake, but I didn't want to make a cheesecake in the traditional sense. I prefer making bars for my desserts because they are easily portioned. Also, I love cheesecake, however, that was something I haven't made in a long time because it is usually very calorie dense. That [...]
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 [...]
