Dirty Blondie Pancake Stack

Dirty Blondie Pancake Stack

I call these Dirty Blondie Pancakes, but they’re certainly far from dirty and definitely close to deliciousness served up on a plate. It’s a stack of 2 types of pancakes: Maple Pecan and Brownie Batter Chocolate Chunk! You really can’t ...

Handcrafted Mayonnaise

Handcrafted Mayonnaise

Mayonnaise is one of my favorite condiments to make. No matter how many times I make it, there's just something about watching something come together and emulsify like mayo that's always interesting. I love how making it with my stick blender (aka emulsion blender) is super fast and easy. There are so many variations you can make with homemade mayo, but this is my favorite. I use expeller pressed coconut oil, because there is no coconut taste. Also, I always use fresh farm eggs (and ...

Lemon & Rosemary Low Carb Shortbread

Lemon & Rosemary Low Carb Shortbread

Can I really call these shortbread cookies? Well yes. The consistency is pretty crumbly, similar to shortbread. The sweetness aspect, however, isn't much like them at all.

Hints of salt might come through before the rosemary finally takes the first strike. When it does, the herbaceousness will fill your mouth for only a moment before the lemon ...
