Pumpkin Pie Martini
I’m really not a very conscientious food blogger. If I was, I would have created an elaborate Thanksgiving menu earlier in the month and been leading by example, posting the recipes for my dear readers to peruse in advance of their own holiday feast. As it stands, however, I have given little thought to what…

Greek Yogurt Creme Brulee – Low Carb and Gluten-Free
My kids think I am famous and this gives me no end of amusement. They think this because I had the opportunity to film a few clips of Get the Skinny with Molly Kimball for a local ABC affiliate in New Orleans. What they fail to realize is that these clips haven’t even aired yet,…

Marinated Stuffed Cherry Peppers
I adore appetizers. Left to my own devices, I would rather eat appetizers for dinner than have a proper entree. I just love the fact that you can have a whole lot of different flavours in one meal if you eat little bite-sized bits. I used to host “appetizer” parties, and could practically make myself…

If I am successful, nothing gives me greater satisfaction. And more often than not these days, I am successful. But that wasn’t always the case. When I started this…
Roasted Golden Tomato Soup – Low Carb and Gluten-Free
I’m about 4 years in to having my own backyard vegetable garden, and I have to say that each year has been wildly different and a huge learning experience. Which really is to say that I have no clue what I am doing and it’s going to be a long time before I feel like…
Walnut Flax Pancakes – Low Carb and Gluten-Free
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…
Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies – Low Carb and Gluten-Free
Food is like language. When I see this, I realize that it’s no wonder that I fell in love with food blogging, because it combines two of my favourite things in all the world…language and food. These may seem like disparate passions, but in fact they are not. In many ways, they are remarkably similar. …
Homemade Butter
A little while ago, when I was gloating about my fantastic lipids profile, I promised you a recipe for homemade butter. Butter has long been one of my favourite foods, and it’s a trait I come by honestly, as my mother would say. My dear, perpetually fit and slender mother has a boundless love of…
Chilled Zucchini Soup and a Martha Stewart Review
I am a cookware whore, I seriously love good cookware so much. I remember what a huge revelation it was when I got married, and got some good cookware, after having used cheapie third-hand pots and pans all through university and grad school. I’ve always loved to cook, but didn’t have an idea of just…
White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Scones – Low Carb and Gluten-Free
White chocolate isn’t really chocolate at all, at least not in the strictest sense of the word. But I love it anyway. I got a white chocolate bunny for Easter one year as a child and I was immediately hooked. What’s not to love about the creamy vanilla confection? Since it’s virtually all cocoa butter…
