Lately, I’ve discovered that I enjoy making earrings with my Cricut. It’s really fun and easy to do if you have a few supplies. I like making mine out of faux leather sheets. Cricut has quite a few nice ones, but you can find a lot more patterns shopping online. I recently started carrying some…
Bacon & Celery Rice Casserole
As you may remember, after my grandmother passed away I was given a box of her recipes. It included some of her handwritten recipes, and also lots and lots of clippings from anything you can imagine. Magazines, forwarded e-mails, food packaging – you name it. I’m working my way through cooking and photographing her recipes….
Sugar-Free Dalgona Coffee
Dalgona coffee is instant and sweetener turned into a whip that you can then use to make impossibly creamy coffee. I first came across this recipe when my friend posted a picture on Facebook. I 100% thought she’d put peanut butter in some milk, and didn’t give it much of a thought until I ran…
Jalapeno Popper Coleslaw
I know you want to get straight to the recipe so I won’t bore you with too many details, but this coleslaw is amazing! It’s got a tangy, sugar-free dressing. It’s mixed with finely diced jalapenos, crispy bacon, and chunks of cream cheese. I know that sounds kind of weird, I wasn’t convinced it would…
The Wine Ham
Here’s an easy ham that you can create for holidays or special occasions. It’s glazed with wine that’s been infused with orange and cranberries. This is a recipe that was first taught to me by my sister, and now I make it every Thanksgiving even though I typically think of it as an Easter recipe….
Hot Baked Artichoke Dip
An easy to create cheesy artichoke dip that’s perfect for serving at parties with chips!
14-Karat Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
This carrot cake was really special because when I made this again to photograph it I took a bite of it and remembered when she’d made it for me. It’s from scratch, but it’s really easy to whip together. I love that this cake doesn’t use raisins in the batter. I love carrot cake but…
Homemade Strawberry Chia Seed Jam
The first recipe video I ever published, which is still public on my YouTube channel today, was a recipe for no sugar added strawberry jam that was sweetened with Splenda. This recipe is an update on that – it uses fresh strawberries plus chia seeds. I still use a sugar-free sweetener such as Splenda (or stevia, or Swerve.) However,…
Pumpkin Pie Dessert Squares
This is the first recipe I’m sharing from a personal project that I am setting out to complete. Last year my beloved grandmother died quite suddenly. My grandpa gave me a box that had a lot of recipes she saved. Clippings from magazines and things like that. When going through it I found that there…
Ham and Caramelized Onion Hawaiian Roll Sliders
These sandwiches are an easy thing to throw in the oven that doesn’t involve a ton of work. For super busy nights you can easily skip the onions, but I think they’re worth the extra effort. You can make the onion ahead of time and store it in the fridge too. The everything but the…
