No Nightshade Carne Picada

Carne Picada is basically minced steak. It can be cooked in a variety of ways, but this week I’ve come up with a nice marinade that is entirely nightshade free (for my nightshade avoiding peeps). It relies on lime juice, coconut aminos, and some other spices to yield its zippy flavor, and is really great […]

Bacony Carnivore Womelettes

I’m gonna say something that might blow your mind: I don’t like “chaffles.” Every time I’ve made them they were incredibly underwhelming, especially considering how wildly popular they’ve become. While I was expecting this awesome bread-like replacement, what I got was a crispy cheese omelette that has waffle divots on its surface. Meh. Recently, I’ve started […]

Gooey Butter Cake

I was introduced to the wonder that is Gooey Butter Cake by my Aunt Lissa. Aunt Lissa and Aunt Robin are probably the two best bakers in my family and while Robin’s chocolate chip cookies are superior, Lissa brings the yum with the gooey butter cake. Gooey Butter Cake originated in St. Louis, Missouri. A […]

Garlic and Herb Compound Butter

I love this butter. It’s so quick and easy to make, and makes an awesome condiment for a whole pile of different foods. I’ve had it on bunless burgers, steak, eggs, and roast beef. My daughter loves it so much, she will literally eat it with a spoon. It’s fragrant and flavorful and wonderful in […]

Smoky Bacon Burgers with Sherry Caramelized Onions

Y’all. No joke, this is the best burger I’ve ever had, and it was insanely easy to make. It’s super crispy on the outside, while staying tender and moist inside. The secret? Bacon. Lots and lots of bacon. And when you top this bad boy with some slowly caramelized onions….. mouth heaven. (Pictured garnished with […]

Simple Salmon

I am not a big fan-o-fish, but my son is. He’s said on multiple occasions that he likes seafood much better than land food, and so I do what I can to accommodate his fishy tastes while making it edible for myself. Luckily, the rest of my family loves all manner of seafood, too, so […]

Chili Lime Coleslaw

I like spicy foods. I like citrus. The combination of the two in this fresh and cool slaw makes for an awesome side to burgers, barbecue, or whatever summer fare you’d like to serve! Great for potluck, too.

Vanilla Bean Bourbon Ice Cream

Vanilla Bean Bourbon- which is a creation for my friend, Elaine- might be the best ice cream I’ve ever tasted. I’m not exaggerating here. Even my picky-as-heck super-taster son said it was “special,” and he meant it in a good way. This ice cream has three sources of vanilla flavoring and, of course, bourbon. I […]

Sweet and Sour Meatballs

I have to confess, these meatballs were an absolute delight to eat. I ate them every day, for a week straight, and simply could no the get enough. When I ran out, I seriously considered making another batch to eat over the course of another week. They really just hit the spot. Now, initially, I […]

Spicy Mustard BBQ Sauce

This one goes out to my buddy, LeeAnn, who has been waiting very patiently- with some ribs at the ready- for this sauce. Mustard-based BBQ sauce (oft referred to as Carolina BBQ sauce or Carolina Gold sauce) originates in the little belt from Columbia to Charleson, South Carolina, although many a Georgian (and this Floridian!) […]

Summer Squash Casserole

My mom loves vegetables. She loves them so much that I honestly think she could eat nothing but salad, every day, and be perfectly happy. I, on the other hand, have never been a huge veg eater, and that goes double for yellow squash (one of mama’s favorites). To be honest, the summer squashes are just […]

Chile Relleno

I mentioned before that I’m a HUGE fan of Mexican food, and this dish is no exception. Chile Relleno was a favorite, pre-keto, but knowing what it is you’re getting at any particular place is a bit of a crapshoot that, for me, tends to keep it off the table. At one place it might […]
