When it comes to summer eats, there is nothing quite like ice cream to cool you off. For many people, especially those who can’t have dairy, this is not an option. With myself, I am trying to maintain a better diet and the sugar free options for ice cream are just really not to my […]

Deep Dish Low Sugar Apple Pie
There’s nothing quite like apple pie when it comes to a classic pie everyone can enjoy. This recipe takes a classic and makes it into a deep dish version that is sure to please. When I made this, it was gone the first day and I could barely get it out of the oven before […]
Sugar Free Chai Tea Smoothies
Chai tea is one of my favorite indulgences. It’s aromatic taste is warm and inviting. However, in the summer, it is almost too hot for such a nice drink that I made this Chai Tea Smoothie to be able to enjoy my favorite drink all year long. It is made from my own Chai Tea […]
Pumpkin Vinaigrette Dressing
I admit, I am not a huge pumpkin flavored “things” fan. I like the smell of pumpkin candles, but that’s about where it ends for me. It seems, though, that every year around this time, pumpkin stuff starts revving up and in an effort to relate to my fellow humans, I tried to come up […]
Slow Cooker Pumpkin Puree
Pumpkin puree is a staple in most homes this time of year. The on;y problem is, it can be expensive, full of preservatives and even added sugar and color if you buy it in a can. There is a traditional way of making it with an oven and a few pans with water in […]

Low carb and game day do not usually go together. There are high carb beverages and snacks such as pretzels and chips everywhere, not to mention high carb drinks like beer and soda. How can you enjoy the Big Game with so many high carb goodies around and nothing for you to munch on that […]
Diabetic Friendlier Heart Shaped Popcorn Balls
With Valentine’s Day coming up really quick on us, you may be on the lookout for recipes for treats. Because I am diabetic, I try to make treats that are just a bit more diabetic friendly than some of the yummy recipes I see out there. I realize that not everyone is looking for this, […]
Sugar Free Strawberry Fudge
So the name of this is “2 ingredient Strawberry fudge”, but that is somewhat of a lie. It really is more like 4 ingredients because strawberry frosting of the sugar free kind is kind of hard to find so you must improvise. This can be made year round and can be adapted for just about […]
Roasted Cauliflower and Basil Soup
I love that fall is the time when I get in the mood to make warm, comforting foods. One of my favorites to make is homemade soups and every Autumn, I get inspired to create new flavors, especially when I go to the local Farmer’s Market and see what the offerings are of the season. […]
Spicy Ranch Cauliflower Wings
Cauliflower is one of my very favorite low carb snacks. While you can make some really great low carb dishes with it, this one in particular is not really super low carb, but it is a bit of a healthier choice due to the fact that it is baked, not fried. They get so delicious […]
Spicy Sriracha Cucumber Stir Fry #Veggetti
I first saw the Veggetti on Tv as a commercial and I thought, “Wow! This could be great for me since it allows me to make low carb pasta!” I was very grateful for the opportunity to review it and give one away! I decided I would get a little creative with my Veggetti and […]
Creamy Curried Cauliflower Sauce
I am a lover of sauces. When I went to culinary arts school, this was by far my favorite class. It was kind of a surprise that I loved it so much, actually. I was not looking forward to it thinking it would be boring. I really wanted to take baking, actually. Needless to say, […]
Refreshing Watermelon Pomegranate Sweet Tea with #AmericasTea
Bigelow Tea has a special place in my heart. Isn’t is funny how certain brands can bring back memories for us? The reason Bigelow tea is so memorable for me is my mom used to drink their “Constant Comment” tea when I was a child. The sweet and spicy citrus blend would swirl in the […]
Low Carb Oreo Cakesters
When I really had to start getting serious about my diet because of my diagnosis of diabetes, I decided that this would mean I would need to get creative with food. See, I am a certified lover of junk food. While I don’t make it my main staple in my diet, I did really love […]

I am so excited to share this recipe with you! Anyone who knows me well, knows that although I make attempts at baking, it is almost a mistake when my baking actually comes out well! Thanks to my friend, Katie, at You Brew My Tea, I was able to make these Old Glory cupcakes for […]
