Most people are spending today preparing and eating their favorite appetizers. My household is not! For the 1st time ever in my life, I will not be watching the Super Bowl.

Thank you Coconut Secrets for your gluten free/soy free teriyaki sauce! Now we can have a great low-carb, high protein […]
What do you do when you make way too much vodka sauce for your son’s football spaghetti feed? Even with giving 8 cups away to your Aunt as a thank you to her for letting you borrow her big pots and warmers….you get creative with left overs! I can’t ever bring myself to throw this […]
