Sugar free, grain free….easy, and not many ingredients. That’s just how I do things. I was really surprised about how well these truffles/macaroons turned out. They really can be two different things, depending on if you dip or drizzle the chocolate! These do not need to be baked or dehydrated (in fact, I think that …
Yesterday was packed full for me—and I knew I needed to be home by around 3:00 so I could make a contribution to dinner (I was in charge of dessert). Kind of a fair trade (for me) … My neighbors (Mom and Fred) made everything else, and I brought wine and dessert. This dessert was …

Last night, I stopped by my friend Carol’s house…it was a last minute get together—I had things scheduled all day, and it just turned out that the timing was right for me to run over there and catch up with two of my favorite people. Carol always makes the most amazing food—and I just sit …

Monday was taco salad night over here. Since I don’t eat grains anymore, I skip the chips and just use crunchy lettuce. I know, to chip-eaters, that probably does not sound like a good trade, but I swear it works. I also sub in greek yogurt for sour cream, and I make my own taco …
I got up at 4:30 today to go and work out…and although it was not difficult to do that at the time, it caught up with me later in the afternoon.The upside to getting up that early is that my workout was done and I had been to the grocery store by 7:15. I decided …
As a part of my quest to feed my mitochondria, I committed to adding beef liver to my diet. It definitely took me a while to make this happen, but I had ordered some from Tropical Traditions a few months ago and left it in my freezer for a day when I figured out what …

I had a really busy weekend, and just have a couple things to share with you. I worked out several times, and am currently icing my achilles. I don’t know, maybe I jumped over/on too many tractor tires with my trainer this morning, but he didn’t seem to think so! On Friday night, I met …

Ever since Valentine’s Day, when I first made the Almond/Coconut Flour cupcakes, I’ve been wanting to make some variations. They’re just too good not to (and easy too). Lemon seemed like a logical choice. I made some other lemon coconut flour cupcakes (muffins?) a couple months ago, and they were great too, but more lemony. …

Apparently, I’m still feeling the motivation from my training session yesterday—I ate extra well today, did two workouts, and went in the infrared sauna. I weighed-in too, and Joe was nice enough to take my “before” pics. He laughed at me for all of this, by the way, but he was supportive. I like how …

First thing’s first… I made donut holes that had no sugar added, and no grains. And they actually turned out amazingly well. I won’t mention the donut recipe Matthew and I tried a few weeks ago that was disgusting. We made a huge mess, and were completely disappointed. Hey, I mean, it happens sometimes. Shortly …
