Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
When I was a teenager hanging out at the mall, I discovered a dish from a vendor called Greek Island Delights in the food court called (you guessed it!) spanakopita. If you’ve had it, you know it’s essentially a feta and spinach quiche wrapped in flaky, buttery layers of phyllo […]
As you may or may not know, I was recently introduced to Spam musubi and now it’s a meal that’s become part of my regular rotation. Not only is it incredibly inexpensive, it’s so damn good! Looking back, it shocks me how in my youth it was perfectly acceptable to […]
Though I’ve been to Bearcat several times (and both locations), I’ve never really wanted to be a “good cat.” If you haven’t been, which you should, this California-esque restaurant appreciates many different diets and does its very best to cater to all of them. Whether you’re vegan, gluten-free, paleo, or […]
Before the summer comes to a complete close, I would like to add one more ice cream recipe to your keto arsenal that’s as tasty as it is easy. I realize it’s not blueberry season here in Louisiana (May-July), but frozen work just as well as fresh. If you like, […]
Even though I splurged on my 50th birthday and enjoyed a weekend of non-keto eats, I was anxious to get right back on that wagon. The only problem was I didn’t get any cake! Can one really have a birthday without any cake? Does it even count? I didn’t think […]
Though this recipe isn’t necessarily keto, it’s definitely keto-friendly and a cool way to enjoy lunch or dinner on a hot summer day. I adore this recipe and it’s so easy to get huge, fresh Louisiana shrimp at a great price. Poaching or boiling with the shells on adds a […]
It’s hotter than “the hubs of Haiti” out there these days. The heat index is supposed to climb to 106° in New Orleans by this afternoon! While iced coffee is a fabulous way to cool down and amp up, wouldn’t coffee ice cream be even better? Yes, I believe it […]
Y’all wouldn’t believe how much heavy whipping cream I’ve wasted over the past couple of weeks. I’m feeling pretty guilty about it, but this is something I really needed to figure out. To me, ice cream is the best dessert that ever was. Feel free to argue with me, I […]
After 2+ years eating low carb, you’d think I’d learned my lesson. I know that if I cheat, I have to do it small. One meal of extra carbs won’t kill me, if those carbs are something like bread, pasta or potatoes. But, if I add too much sugar to […]
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 […]
