WHAT’S FOR DINNER | WEEKLY MEAL IDEAS
07/14/2019
Sweet summertime! With summer comes shorts, tank tops and swimsuits. That means it’s back on the Keto diet for me. I find when I’m off keto, it’s too easy for me to fall back into my sugar addiction. And the addiction is REAL, y’all. Funny thing is, when I follow keto, I really don’t miss the sugar. No sugar = the cravings stop. No sugar cravings means I don’t dread wearing those shorts, tank tops and swimsuits…as much. While you may not be following the Keto diet as I am, hopefully this meal plan will help spark ideas for your own dinners. If you are following the Keto diet, I’ve included links to the recipe books I’m using. Happy summer, everyone!

IT’S FOR THE BIRDS | HOMEMADE WITH LOVE
12/09/2018
Before Christmas I took a couple of days off to create and bake. I cooked up a little something for the birdies, too. My birds will be fat and happy this winter. These homemade bird treats will also be the perfect handmade gifts to give to neighbors, friends and family that stop by during the holidays. I found the idea on Pinterest. Not all recipes I tried turned out to be successful. After a failed first attempt, I combined a few recipes to come up with this winning combo. Here it is for anyone is looking for a fun winter project to do with kids or a simple gift to surprise loved ones – heart shaped treats would be perfect for Valentine’s Day, too.
