Since I made the lemon glazed fritters the other day, I thought that using a batter to fry things would be pretty awesome. I haven't had a corn dog in a while and it just popped into my head. But, I didn't want to just use hotdogs - so I decided on using 2 varieties of sausage to see which one came out better. To me, the chicken sausage was really on point - but not in the chicken department. When I used to live in the Bahamas, we used to get conch fritters all the time with a mayo/ketchup ...

I mean, the type of food that you can't just stop at one - which is a good thing considering they're only 80 calories each. Get your groove on and have your dessert - with bacon! They don't bother with injecting tons of water and flavor enhancers in their bacon.

Eggs Benedict Casserole
October 23, 2018 by 6 Comments
Baked eggplant mixed into ham and egg, then smothered in freshly made hollandaise sauce. This twist on the classic breakfast uses spongey eggplant as a stand-in for English muffins, but if that's not your thing then feel free to substitute zucchini. It seems like an overly decadent breakfast but it's packed full of vegetable, and uses a lot of ingredients you probably have in your kitchen already. This hollandaise is lemony and smooth, but the secret's in the vinegar. There's a lot of ...

Keto Grasshopper Cheesecake Bites
January 22, 2019 by 11 Comments
During Girl Scout cookie season, these can help stave off the cravings! They can be whipped up in an afternoon, and pulled from the freezer whenever you need a sweet treat. These bites are great for holiday dinners or family snacks. There is a lot of prep time involved in these, so I would set aside a couple hours for prep and execution. This may be a fun activity with some friends or older kids. Most minty desserts get that burst of fresh flavor from using extract, but I love adding ...

Who can resist a crispy pork chop that's tender and juicy in the middle? You'll have some great eastern flavors coming together in this dish and I'm sure you'll be adding this one to your meal plan! I highly suggest cutting this into thin strips once the pork has been resting for at least 7 minutes after cooking. That way you aren't overwhelmed with the spices. The fragrant hints of cumin are instant when this touches your mouth. Once you start to chew, the crispy texture of the crust comes ...
