This is the ultimate “I’m having a long busy day and I won’t have time for dinner” recipe. I made this roast the other day when I planned a day out to a harvest festival with the kids. It was an hour drive, the weather was beautiful and the festival would close at 7 pm.Continue reading “Crockpot Rump Roast”

Avocado Food processor Brownies
I already have a brownie recipe posted on this site, but I didn’t want to leave this recipe out for several reasons; It’s completely flourless, it has a whole avocado in it PLUS the whole batch of batter is made in your food processor! That can’t be good you say? Wrong! These are awesome! SoContinue reading “Avocado Food processor Brownies”

This amazing veggie is prepared in only a few minutes, tastes great even without seasoning, is loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and has a low calorie content next to a high fiber one. Score! Today I usedContinue reading “Spaghetti Squash Bolognese”
Coconut Chicken Curry
We’re getting ready for darker and colder nights and my favorite thing to do when that happens is to make soups and stews. This Curry is not technically one of those, but it tastes like a hybrid and it warms that belly right up. It’s also a great make ahead dish that is easily reheatedContinue reading “Coconut Chicken Curry”

Gingerbread and Speculoos got married and had a baby! That’s what these taste like, no kidding! It’s fall and I have to be careful not to overdo it with the pumpkin since I like it way more than my family does, but who can say no to pumpkin muffins, amiright? I had to tweak theContinue reading “Pumpkin Munchkins”

To be honest, I have never had a real Hushpuppy in my life… I grew up in The Netherlands and we don’t have them there. The author of this recipe says these are pretty darn close to the real thing and since she has given me TONS of delicious spot on recipes, I tend toContinue reading “Hushpuppies”
Mozzarella Pesto Pizza
I like to make meals from scratch, but let’s face it, for most of us juggling all the things (yes, ALL lol) life does not (always) leave us with enough time to stand in the kitchen every day and create such master pieces 😉 Add virtual school and, on Thursday evenings, Hockey nights for meContinue reading “Mozzarella Pesto Pizza”
Cauliflower Rice with Mushrooms and Spinach
Welcome to our first theme week! This recipe is the first one of 5 days of vegetarian meals keto style 🙂 Cauliflower rice; it’s a super popular low carb rice replacement and it has taken the world in storm over the past few years.

Jalapeno Cheddar Salmon Burgers
This burger was definitely the STAR on this week’s menu! I have been dying to try a recipe from one of my favorite online cooking personalities @Fitmencook and I am happy I finally got around to it. This guy knows how to properly season his dinners! Fresh salmon, combined with creamy cheddar cheese, smoked paprikaContinue reading “Jalapeno Cheddar Salmon Burgers”
Bacon, Sausage, and Brussel Sprouts
Note: There are a lot of different smoked sausages out there. I have seen sausages with as much as 7 grams carbs per sausage. The sausages I used have 1.6 g of carbs. Just know that the stats I posted below will be accurate when your sausage is low in carbs. The tip is toContinue reading “Bacon, Sausage, and Brussel Sprouts”
