This week I am starting the cleaning of rooms that are finished in the house. Making sure to get the last bit of paint and dust off the floors and doing a final check of where touch ups may be needed. Tony is finishing up any of the other projects in the house. When we [...]
I managed to get a few floors in our new house done during my time off. I'm pleased with the results. If you ever have to lay tile floors, Spin Doctor Tile Leveling System is the way to go (link not sponsored). We don't know what we ever did before these. It made tiling a [...]
The Millionaire Shortbread was a huge hit. I'm always amazed at how some recipe can come out so well. However, those took some time to make. The recipe for this week from Southern Living for Brown Butter-Maple-Pecan Blondies, not so much. The longest step is cooling the browned butter. This recipe also works well with [...]
This recipe came from a want to try a new ingredient. Recently I bought a sugar free sweetened condensed milk from Mrs. Taste (link is not sponsored). I have also been wanting to do a sugar free version of pecan pie. Pecan pie is one of those desserts that I don't eat because it is [...]
Have you ever noticed that some things are never really low sodium. Like ham or many Asian sauces. Hot dogs are another one of those things. When a hot dog is listed as "low sodium", it's still very high. I wanted to set out to make our own low sodium hot dogs, but didn't know [...]
I was watching another cooking show at night in our living room and Tony pops in and says, "I miss meatloaf". Then he pauses and follows it with, "But, it won't fit in our diet. I'd be all for a meatloaf that was low sugar, salt and carbs." Challenge accepted. Meatloaf is so versatile, it [...]
I am sending a copy of this post to my brother. The reason for this is he is a die hard pumpkin pie lover. He would rather have a pumpkin pie on his birthday than cake. His birthday is in August, when baking a pumpkin pie would be a little hard to do. It's still [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
