About two years ago I fell in love with Lentils. I had never eaten them before but I was having a few health issues and the doctor asked me to start adding more protein and iron to my diet...so I started reading about and trying different recipes with beans. SO many beans. Some recipes and beans have become staples in my kitchen...others...not so much. But lentils have been a proven winner. Here's a few things to note about lentils: They are cholesterol free, gluten free, fat ... View the Post
Low Carb Lemon Roasted Chicken
One of our family's very favorite winter meals is a roast chicken. Everyone in my house will eat it and it can be a great economical meal because you can use the leftover shredded chicken in so many ways. Up until a few years ago, I had no idea how easy it was to roast a chicken. And it tastes so good. The roasted chickens in the store can be around $12 but if you get whole chickens on sale, this recipe can feed our family of 5 all for around 8 dollars with leftovers. A way better ... View the Post
Christmas Morning Hot Cocoa
This Hot Cocoa Recipe is reserved for Christmas morning and was a recipe that my mom got from my Dad's mom when they visited for Christmas one year.

Simple Caramel Apple Recipe
Simple Caramel Apple Recipe I have been on a mission to master some recipes that I miserably failed at when I was first married and learning to cook. And caramel....well it has been my nemesis for awhile now. The first time I made it, I almost lit the pan on fire and the smell of burnt sugar was lingering for days. It was that bad. So, I was scared of trying again for awhile while I worked up the courage to do it again. Last fall I finally decided it was time. Time to conquer caramel! And ... View the Post
