Slurping wetly and noisily at the nourishment that is New Orleans
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
While I truly love cooking, sometimes I’d do anything to just pick up the phone and order a pizza so big that everyone could eat off of it for a week.
