This weekend I dug out an old, Swedish recipe that I had for hallongråttor (aka raspberry shortbread cookies). I made a batch just to take to my wonderful ladies at the barn, but of course, we have to sample them for quality control. Yeah. ‘Cuz that’s why. These are super simple to make and come…

Thai-Inspired Lettuce Wraps
I wanted to make something that would be really easy, quick, and would fit my macros on either a rest day or a lifting day. And filling. I get so hungry in the evenings, that I need something that’s going to fill my belly and sate my hunger while still allowing me to stay on…
Roasted Rosemary and Thyme Sweet Potatoes
So I needed something to take to a BBQ that wouldn’t cause me to totally go off my “diet.” Initially I wanted to bake summery cupcakes (because really, who doesn’t like cupcakes) but I knew that would lead to WAY too much temptation. Thus I opted to make something savory instead. Since the Comfort of…
Herb and Citrus Roasted Chicken
I came across this recipe when looking for the Italian Pasta Salad and it looked sooooo good that I just had to try it. This recipe is also from The Comfort of Cooking. While I made my husband’s with the bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (as the original recipe calls for) but made mine with boneless,…
Italian Pasta Salad
We do a lot of potlucks at work, which is ironic because my section caters to the Department of Health. And let me tell you, while our food is scrumptious, it’s usually anything BUT healthy! Which is just fine by me, because I like to take these opportunities to bake treats and get them the…
Cauliflower Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
My husband does keto and sometimes, he gets a craving for things that normally don’t fall in the low carb category. So what do I do? I search the internet! I found this recipe for caulflower bread and yes, it’s amazing. I filled mine with pastrami, gouda, and some spicy brown mustard instead of…

No-Bake Oreo Truffles
There are literally a million and one recipes for these so I just grabbed one that I found. I can’t remember the first one I ever tried but they’re almost all the same. This particular one came from Chef Savvy. Ingredients: 1 (14.3 ounce) package Oreos (I like to use the peanut butter ones when…
Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Oreo Pie
I can’t even remember WHY I made this, but I am OH SO GRATEFUL that I did! Recipe from Kevin & Amanda. I’m using their image for the post because it’s just better than mine. But this is what mine looked like when it got put in the plate: YIELD: 8-12 SERVINGS. Ingredients: 1 package…
Healthy Eggplant Parmesan
Recently I bailed my father-in-law out of trouble when he forgot that we were supposed to go to this fancy, Italian restaurant for dinner on Mother’s Day and he managed to double book himself. I offered to cook for the family instead, so he could do both things, and to also help my mother-in-law stay…
