(While typing this up, I had a thought: Maybe I should post the finished product first, so you can see the beautiful food. I think that’s what most people do. Thought?) I had a day off today, so I decided to cook something that took a little more time and effort. I looked up aContinue reading “Zucchini Lasagna Rollies”

Mayonnaise Soup
There are a couple of reasons why I like to make my own mayonnaise. It’s delicious, of course, but also, store-bought mayo has sugar in it. I’m not a fan. I use mayonnaise for savory things, and I don’t want sweet mayo (sorry, Miracle Whip). Let’s not even talk about all the chemicals and preservatives.Continue reading “Mayonnaise Soup”
McMenamins: The Edgefield
Some of my gal pals and I decided to go on a girl’s trip to The Edgefield. The Edgefield is a fantastic place to go, especially for adults (in my opinion). There are multiple places to eat and drink, along with a spa and a soaking pool. So, we planned a trip here in theContinue reading “McMenamins: The Edgefield”
Low Carb Shrimp Scampi & Salad
I am trying very hard to stick to my diet, and decided to have a low-carb, mostly low-calorie dinner of shrimp scampi and a salad.

Starting with a vinaigrette forContinue reading “Low Carb Shrimp Scampi & Salad”

And I don’t like sweet sauces or sauces with a lot of vinegar. My two favorite sauces currently are the Bend Sauce,Continue reading “Makin’ Hot Sauce!”
Easy Meal Prep

My husband has made a bunch of breakfast burritos for his lunches before, and I love breakfast burritos! So, I decided to make a low carb (or keto?) version for myself. This week I’m doing a greenContinue reading “Easy Meal Prep”
Bacon Mushroom Burger
My husband absolutely *hates* mushrooms. I, on the other hand, love them! So, I was obviously eating by myself on this night. I got this recipe from Nom Nom Paleo, and you can get it HERE. It’s good. You want it. Starting out with extra lean ground beef and minced bacon, I also minced someContinue reading “Bacon Mushroom Burger”
Pan-Fried Oysters with Homemade Tartar Sauce
I know not everyone likes oysters. I, however, am not one of those people. Oysters are one of my favorite foods, raw or cooked! This is the time of year for cooked oysters, so I went to one of the local fishmongers for a few. Since i happened to have everything I needed to makeContinue reading “Pan-Fried Oysters with Homemade Tartar Sauce”
