Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
I know, this isn’t a recipe for the perfect keto ice cream, I have yet to discover it! I’m working on it, but I thought while I waste yet another pint of heavy whipping cream on my 5th experiment, I’d share one of my absolute favorites. This is a cake […]
Recently, I bought one of those big bags of summer squash and zucchini at Costco, and after making ratatouille (yet again!) I still had a bunch of squash left over. While I always enjoy simply sautéing chopped onion and squash in butter, I thought I would try something a little […]
It could be the oppressive heat or because lemons are so bright and fresh tasting or because this recipe is so damned easy (considering the result), but I think I have found my new favorite chia pudding. I’ve never been a huge fan of lemon desserts, but perhaps my palate […]
I know, I know, you can’t have bread on keto, but you can have biscuits! What is life if you don’t have anything upon which to slather irresponsible amounts of butter? Anyhow, early on in my keto adventures, I discovered this recipe for Cheddar Bay Biscuits. I made a few […]
Back when I posted my Keto Cheesecake recipe, I whined and moaned about how so many keto dessert recipes suck. I still stand by that criticism and I have come to the realization why they suck . . . it’s because they aren’t my recipes! While I sound helplessly egotistical, […]
For Easter weekend, I wanted to do something a little sweet and special and because dyeing eggs didn’t quite do it for me, I decided to make a pound cake. When I was a kid, I adored Sara Lee pound cakes. My mom would keep them in the fridge and […]
What really makes a po-boy a po-boy is the bread. If the fried shrimp or sloppy roast beef isn’t served on that soft, New Orleans-style French bread, it may be a sandwich, but it’s definitely not a po-boy. The same could be said for many different types of sandwiches, from […]
Generally, I am not a pancake kind of girl. I’ve been known to get a craving for a stack from time to time, but generally I prefer French Toast or Waffles over the ubiquitous pancake. Sure, there are a few that merit my adoration (and yours) like the hugely flavorful […]
I love coffee. When I was a kid, I’d steal the coffee-flavored candies from my mother’s purse (coffee and toffee are her two favorite flavors), take sips off of cold coffee cups left on the kitchen counter for clean-up, and devour coffee ice cream. As an adult, my passion for […]
Breakfast can be an onerous affair on the keto diet. Don’t get me wrong, I can typically eat eggs for days (“No one can eat 40 eggs!”), but sometimes I want something cool and sweet, satiating, yet light, and chia pudding does it for me every time. While plain pudding […]
After two plus years of low-carb eating, I have come to the conclusion that keto desserts generally suck. Before you jump into the comments and say “what about Rebel ice cream?” or “I have this recipe for incredible keto brownies!”, just know I’ve probably already tried them. Admittedly, there are […]
With the city’s recent entry into Phase 2, French Quarter newcomer Palm & Pine reopened their doors to limited dine-in service just this past week. Although the Rampart Street restaurant has been offering takeout and delivery since the COVID-19 shutdowns began, many friends, fans and newcomers are masked and ready […]
