Thank you to Norm’s Farms for sending me a selection of their delicious Elderberry products to try in my home for a review. All opinions and words are my own. When I first started making some of my own snacks here at the house (granola bars are my specialty), I just know I would have […]
Snacks
‘Cheezy’ Taco Popcorn with a hint of Lime
This post is sponsored by Malaysian Palm Oil and is through Mom’s Meet. All opinions are my own. I carefully select brands I know my readers will love! I’m just gonna put it out there; two things I could never live without are popcorn and cheese. I literally eat popcorn several times a week and […]
DIY Mozzarella Cheese Recipe
DIY Mozzarella Cheese Recipe I wish I lived in the country and could have chickens, a huge garden and a few other animals. I dream of homesteading. For now, though, I am stuck in the city in a small apartment so I have to make the best of it. One of my favorite […]
Homemade Hazelnut Chocolate Spread Recipe (Homemade Nutella)
When it comes to holiday food, nothing says it better than decadent chocolate goodies. One of these is Nutella (hazelnut chocolate spread). While hazelnut spread has gotten cheaper over the years, I always like to try to make as much as I can homemade as it contains no preservatives and I know what is […]
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 […]
50 Low Carb Game Day Snacks
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 […]
Savory Snack Mix
I was sent a variety of Brandless products for this post as it is a partnership between myself, Moms Meet and Brandless. All opinions are my own. One of my favorite things to do in the Spring and Summer is go hiking. Despite the fact that there are ticks, (I have a real issue with […]
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, […]
How to Make The Ultimate Cheese Board for the Holidays
If you know me, you know it’s no secret I have a love affair with cheese. During the holidays, my favorite appetizer is the cheese platter. I love all kinds of cheese, too. My taste buds do not discriminate. Stinky cheeses (or as most people call them, pungent or footy) are my absolute favorite, actually. […]
Chocolate Covered Apple Bites
I made this recipe last year but didn’t get a chance to put it up until now. With apple season upon us, and the fact that I live in the state that apples are known to come from, I thought since we will be doing our annual apple harvesting from the local pick-your-own orchards soon […]
20 Delicious Protein Powder Recipes
As a diabetic and someone who likes working out, I know the importance of eating enough protein. I admit that I am not perfect when it comes to protein intake and I also hate the taste of protein powders when they come in the form of shake mixes or just added to a smoothie. I […]
Pumpkin Hummus
I will admit it; I am not a huge fan of pumpkin, but I am a giant fan of hummus. Knowing that the pumpkin everything season is upon us, and I just happened to have some pureed pumpkin in my freezer from last year, I decided to make some pumpkin hummus because, hey, maybe I […]
Hemp-Flax Granola Bar Recipe
I am a big fan of granola bars. They are the perfect snack on the go and I love that I can take one with me in my bag or in the car for a good snack that gives me energy and temporarily curbs cravings. The only problem is, the ones sold in stores are […]
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 […]
Oven Jerky
One of my favorite low-carb snacks, hands-down, is beef jerky. I have tried my fair share of brands and I like all kinds of flavors from sweet to spicy and everything in between. The only problem with jerky is it is usually so full of preservatives that it goes from being something semi-healthy to snack […]
Buffalo Turkey Canapes with Mezzetta Olives
Thank you to Mezzetta for sponsoring today’s wonderful memories and recipe for sharing joy this holiday season. As a child, the olive plate and appetizers were one of my favorite parts of the holidays. I felt like I was at a fancy buffet as my eyes lit up with all of the beautifully arranged […]
