There’s no need to eat out, when eating in can be better!
Well, it has been a while since I posted something new. I have not been cooking as much as I have been under the weather for an extended time, but I am finally getting better. So back in the kitchen I went! I am preparing to return to my ketogenic diet so through the month …
Our local diner has been out of pie for three Sunday’s in a row which made my Mom sad. So I promised her a pie today. I knew I had a pre-made graham cracker crust sitting in the pantry and I have plenty of apples on hand, but I did not want to peel apples. …
This stuff is legit! I want to put it on toast, over a sugar free cheesecake, on a spoon. During my six month stint on a ketogenic diet I fell in love with the natural sweetener Erythritol. It looks like sugar, tastes like sugar but does not create an insulin response like sugar. Perfect! I …
We used to frequent this lovely little Mom and Pop doughnut shop when we lived in Panama City called Leon’s Donuts on the South Tyndall Parkway just before you cross the Dupont Bridge. They have been in business for many years and it is easy to see why with one bite of any donut they …

From there the possibilities are infinite. Chocolate chips, white chocolate and cranberries, nuts, peanut butter, other dried fruit and candies… see! Infinite possibilities! The …
I have seen several recipes for this dessert called a Magic Crust Pie on Pinterest and in some older hard copy cook books in my possession… meaning the crust forms magically, and I am here to tell you it is TRUE! It is just like magic and it is certainly magical in your mouth. I …
