I have a complicated relationship with cherries. They are not my favorite fruit. I don't hate them, I just don't reach for them over other fruits. I disliked them the most during the mid-2000s when every conference served cherry chicken. If I saw another cherry, it would be too soon. Well, conferences have laid off [...]

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. [...]
Mango Chicken Thighs with Basil-Coconut Sauce
It hasn't been too crazy this week. A couple of presentations but no real travel. Things are plugging along at our old house. The thing we are not looking forward to is cleaning out the rest of our stuff. The garage will be a nightmare. Deciding what to keep and what to sell as well [...]
Tofu & Coconut Rice Casserole
Elvis has left the building! I mean the tools are leaving the house. This week Tony is removing tools and bringing them to our current house. We're only leaving a few to finish the flooring and other little things. My IT guy brother is finishing the network infrastructure. We are spending most of the week [...]
Low Carb Caramel Coconut Cookie Bars
The house is moving along. I am excited that I have a couple of new appliances coming this week. Finally, a working refrigerator that has a water dispenser with ice. No more working on hot days with warm water in my water bottle. I know it's first world problems, but the house gets pretty hot [...]
Marinara Beans
This weeks recipe came out of sheer curiosity. Flipping through recipes, as I always do, I ran across this one for Cheesy Marinara Beans. I never though about taking white beans and treating them in the spirit of lasagna. And why not? They can be used in that way. The only things I see that [...]
Lower Carb German Chocolate Cookies
I have had a reprieve from working on the house for a couple of weeks. I have more flooring to put down, but I can't do that until Tony is done with the tile work. Good news, we will have a working toilet on both floors by the end of this weekend. That doesn't sound [...]
Beet, Ginger, Chicken and Coconut Milk Soup
Tony is going to stay on the soup thing for a while. I have some more beets to use up. He tried to go back on the beet juice kick when he wasn't able to eat anything solid. It wasn't pretty. So, this recipe is more about being creative with the ingredients I have on [...]
