Chocolate Bacon Truffles (with a Dairy-Free option)

My darlings, I am so glad to bring this post to you. All of that broken computer nonsense is over and done- how lucky and thankful I am to have a husband who can fix anything (thank you for all your help, too, YouTube- couldn’t have done it without you). And what better way to greet […]

Paleo Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Coconut Whip

 PaleO-M-G. It’s my first attempt at a Paleo cake. Of course, I am not committed to the Paleo Diet as a lifestyle- ya’ll know I love me some raw milk and cheese. But I do see its merits in other ways and it seems to work well for a lot of people. We had a […]

What’s a Macaron, Anyway?

February is here!  I’m pretty pumped about it.  I mean there’s Valentine’s day and warm weather in Georgia already and I’ll be making sweets all month!  Excellent.   Before I get started with our month of macarons, I want to clear something up.

Lightened Up Favorites: Fish & Chips

This month of light recipes has been good to me.  I’ve been losing at Weight Watchers for the past three weeks and I’m crossing my fingers for tomorrow, too.  I’m just about 9 pounds away from my goal weight (wedding weight), which is bananas.  Almost there!
