Today I went foraging with one of my friends. I am a worrier at best- and a prepper at worst, so I’m always interested in different ways to survive in event of the “zombie apocalypse.” While we were woefully unprepared for the digging in the muck that is necessary to find cattail tubers and wapato… Continue reading A foraging I will go
I tested out a loaf of Keto Bread and decided that part of my requirements for a good bread recipe was that it had to make a good french toast, so I made french toast. I usually just eyeball the ingredients, but the recipe itself was request. Since there’s such a small amount of sweetener… Continue reading Keto French Toast
Recently, my sister tagged me in a video recipe on Facebook and asked what I thought about it. The recipe is for a loaf of keto bread. She’s been trying to find alternatives to normal bread because she can’t find Trader Joe’s Sprouted Rye Bread (you know that delicious bread that’s 4g net carbs a… Continue reading Recipe Review: Keto Bread
Okay, okay, it’s not real maple syrup. Real maple syrup is made from sap collected from maple trees. You can read more about the difference between real maple syrup and the fake stuff aka pancake syrup here. Real maple syrup is also rather high in sugar (14g of sugar per teaspoon). It’s a natural, unrefined sugar,… Continue reading Homemade Maple Syrup
I have been canning preserves for many years now. It’s something that I look forward to every year. I enjoy making jam in my pretty little jars and canning a year’s worth of tomatoes in one day. My canned goods taste better then what I get in the store, it usually works out to be… Continue reading Homemade Jam

Kale is a superfood- it is high in vitamins and minerals including Vitamin A, C, K, and the B vitamins. It’s also a good source of magnesium and chlorophyll,… Continue reading Kale and Bacon
I reviewed Mainstays Slim Digital Kitchen Scale a few months ago. Now let me tell you about the scale that I got as my replacement: the OXO Good Grips 11 lb. Digital Kitchen Scale. This scale was a MASSIVE upgrade from the Mainstays scale. It’s not nearly as pretty, but it’s utility really makes up… Continue reading Item review: OXO Good Grips 11 lb Digital Kitchen Scale
When I first got into healthier eating, Nourishing Traditions was the first or second book I purchased. Nourishing Traditions is written by Sally Fallon Morell, the president of the Weston A. Price Foundation, and is both a cookbook and a reference for nutritional eating and traditional diets. The Weston A. Price Foundation is a nonprofit… Continue reading Book Review: Nourishing Traditions
A few months ago I started messing around with making my own Quest style protein bars. My brother asked for the recipe. It’s not 100% mine- I made some tweaks to some other recipes I found on the interwebs. I usually like to bake my bars because I prefer the consistency and I’m impatient. Here… Continue reading Homemade Quest Bars
As I mentioned in the vanilla keto cupcakes post, this is another way to use the cupcakes. I personally love trifles. Not only are they delightfully British, but my mom also used to make a strawberry and banana trifle in the summer time. It was her go-to dessert. So when I found mini trifle bowls… Continue reading Mini Strawberry Trifles
