Low Carb Gluten Free Pizza

So far the South Beach diet is going well.  However, my weekly menu has fell apart this week.  Last night, my husband decided at the last minute that he wanted to eat out.  We just don’t eat out much at all and haven’t since December (except for lunch with my girlfriends) so it sounded good [...]

Menu Monday for the week of January 27, 2008

It’s time to bite the bullet. I have been caving on our New Years healthy eating plan. Gosh, it’s everyone making those darn crescent rolls!
I need a better plan. I am starting the South Beach diet. Honestly, I don’t know if I can do phase one. So I may end up [...]

Amy’s Chunky Tomato Bisque Product Review

 
I’m sure you’ve noticed that it’s really hard to find very many gluten free canned soups.  I have never been a fan of canned soup.  I consider it an emergency staple.  Not eaten because it tastes good, but because you have to eat something.  I always kept some on hand for those days I needed [...]

Grilled Salmon and Roasted Potatoes with Rosemary

This post is both a recipe and a gadget review. I am a kitchen gadget junkie. I always enjoy learning about appliances and gadgets. I love kitchen shops. Kitchen shops to me are like hardware stores are to a man. Appliances = power tools. So from time to time [...]

Menu Monday for the week of January 21, 2008

This weeks menu swap is being hosted by Carrie of Ginger Lemon Girl. The ingredient of the week is one of my favorites, rosemary! I use rosemary a lot in cooking. I had never used it fresh until a couple years ago. I was trying to follow the South Beach diet [...]

Chicken and broccoli casserole

This is the perfect freezer meal. I’ve made this many times. It freezes well and tastes really good. It’s not low fat, but could be modified to be lower fat by using skim milk and reduce fat mayo. It’s not dairy free, but again could be modified with dairy free ingredients. [...]

Meet the dogs

Well, it’s Saturday night and I’m bored out of my mind!  It’s cold here in Indiana.  I mean cold.  There is nothing on TV.  I’m having 24 withdraw thanks to the writers strike.  If they weren’t striking I would have something to look forward to on Monday nights.  Because I am married to a union [...]

Glutano Cracker’s

From time to time I will be doing product reviews.  The hardest thing about going gluten free is finding replacements for food I used to eat.  Even when I did see things, I just didn’t know what to buy or what was good.  It’s just so overwhelming in the beginning.  This weekend I will be [...]

Shrimp from the Devil

Is it cold where you are at?  This is a great recipe for a cold night.  My brother Chris gave me this recipe last week-end when I was talking to him through email.  He is a great cook.  Both of my brothers are.  I told him I would blog about it this week since I [...]
