Oh boy.. banting is HUGE here. It’s very similar to paleo- low carb, high fat, full of nuts & coconut oil & bacon. What about those of us, like myself, that don’t do well eating nuts or lots of meat. Why isn’t there a name for my diet yet? Surely it’ll pop up soon… Xylitol … Continue reading

I accidentally discovered this recipe when making an aioli of sorts… it started as a dip & then morphed into this … Continue reading
Searching for a cornstarch free baking powder is hard, especially if you want one that’s also aluminum free. I’ve used some online recipes that clumped up after storing them for a week or 2 or just didn’t produce a great end result. I highly recommend this blend… And you can make it yourself! It’s super … Continue reading
