Anyone else have the slightest obsession with cheese? I do. And it's not just a slight obsession, either. I'm talking a full-blown, grade-A love affair with cheese. I think that's why I've been able to stick to this Keto diet so well. I didn't have to give up my torrid affair with cheese. Any diet… Continue reading Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin
And now, for something different. This may very well be the most out-of-my-element recipe I've ever made. Was it difficult? Not really. Was it something I'd ever make had I not been inspired? Probably not. It would be a completely vegan side dish had I not used sour cream in the avocado cream sauce. You… Continue reading Butternut Squash with Mushroom Stuffing

When given the choice between slaw or pasta or potato salad, people usually choose the starchier side dish. I've always liked… Continue reading Memphis Coleslaw

I also made matters worse by busting out the grill pan and grilling up some bratwurst for lunch. The grill pan and brats produced a lot of smoke; I… Continue reading Thai Almond Zoodle Bowl
I took a risk over the weekend in the kitchen, and almost took the loss. It's not everyday I try something completely out of my comfort zone. I won't try to make my own pasta. I don't want to grind and stuff homemade sausage. Don't ask me to make a souffle, clafoutis, or creme brulee.… Continue reading Roasted Brussels Sprouts Caesar Salad
I've been digging on cauliflower since it became cool to eat it. I'm talking 20+ years ago, y'all. When I was a kid, my favorite veggie in a vegetable tray was the raw cauliflower (dunked in oodles of ranch, of course). My family has been using it as a side dish for years. One of… Continue reading Leen’s Favorite Roasted Cauliflower
