Belgian Waffle Batter Recipe
Waffles are highly coveted by my children. Since I didn't have a waffle maker before receiving the Breville No Mess Waffle Maker, they had to wait until we were out somewhere to order waffles. You can imagine how often they asked to go out for breakfast! Thankfully, those days are over and now I can make them waffles right here at home. As much as I love a hot breakfast, I had never made my own waffles before and I wasn't entirely sure of what I was doing.

This recipe is … [Read more...] about It’s not Thanksgiving without the candied yams
Keto Chicken Carbonara Recipe
While it may not be the most photogenic dish, this Keto Chicken Carbonara is delicious and has only 5 grams of carbohydrates per serving. It is also high in fat, as you want in the keto diet, and it is easy to make. My husband and I started the new year with some major changes in how we eat. I've long heard about the benefits of eating a diet higher in healthy fats with very few carbs, like the keto diet. As a carb addict, this never sounded that appealing to me but the scale isn't … [Read more...] about Keto Chicken Carbonara Recipe
