Innovative Low Carb, Gluten-Free Recipes
As you know, I am working hard at getting my family to be mostly sugar and gluten-free. I don’t feel that they need to be as low carb as I am, but I am committed to eliminating the majority of wheat-based products we keep in this house. I have a strong supporter in my husband, [...]
I’ve always thought of myself as a very well-adjusted person, but I am beginning to think that may not be so true. I think I may actually have something of a compulsive disorder. See, here’s my problem: I can see a recipe that looks amazing and that I am wildly eager to make. And I [...]
When I made up the name for this blog, I had no idea how fortuitous my pick would turn out to be. I actually had another name altogether in my head, but as I was fairly certain that no one beyond my close family and friends would ever read it, it hardly mattered much what [...]
For my second column on Easy Eats Magazine, I decided to tackle breakfast. And I wanted it to be something the whole family would enjoy, which meant going gluten-free AND low carb. We all love waffles, and they always feel like a treat. Plus the leftovers are easy to freeze for future breakfasts. My kids [...]

I am not sure I have any business calling anything made with coconut flour “light and fluffy”. Really, have you ever worked with the stuff? If you are used to wheat flour, you will find coconut flour to be very odd stuff indeed. You’ve never seen the like, I can assure you. Oh sure, it [...]
Today is another guest post, this time from Claire of The Realistic Nutritionist. I love Claire’s blog and have been following for a long time. We don’t necessarily do “healthy” the same way, as Claire tends towards low fat recipes, whilst I go low carb. But our approach to “healthy” is similar…food is something to [...]
If I am not mistaken, one of the first dishes I ever learned to cook for myself was French Toast. It’s always been one of my favourite breakfast items, and for a kid just learning the ways of the kitchen, it’s a relatively straightforward dish. Crack some eggs, whisk with cream, dip the bread and [...]
Let me ask you a question: how do you bring good living to your life? In the chaos that is modern day existence, it can be so easy to forget to enjoy what life has to offer. I am often guilty of this. With three small kids and a chronic disease like diabetes, all of [...]
Last week, I decided to give myself a break. I was finding blogging and other work-oriented endeavours very frustrating and I needed some time away from it all. Oh, I still posted, and I commented on other blogs here and there, but I also tried not to obsess so much. This is easier said than [...]
