I love quiche. It’s an easy meal that can be eaten any time, and it freezes easily, so on harried days, it’s a great home-cooked-frozen dinner. 🙂 They are super easy to make, and the possible varieties are endless. Most smart-carb recipes call for crustless quiche, but honestly, the crust is one of my favorite parts. I’ve tried almond flour … Read More
Easy Peasy Raspberry Jam
One of the things I love about summer is all the fresh fruits and veggies. Of course, I try to eat more veggies than fruit (because too much sugar turns me into a gremlin, where I eat everything in sight), but one fruit I can’t pass up is raspberries. Only 5 grams of sugar per cup, these little gems are … Read More
Black Plate–Moussaka
Welcome to the Wilder Way Wednesday posts. I haven’t posted one of these in a while, and so we’ll need to review. About five or six years ago, I was at my heaviest weight … at least, I’m pretty sure it was my heaviest. I have no idea how much I actually weighed because I hadn’t been on a scale … Read More
A Different Way
In the South, whenever we get together you can bet food’s involved.

(Finding desserts that … Read More

Let Them Eat Cake
All right, all right. I know there’s a brownie in the featured image instead of a piece of cake. But I happen to love brownies more than cake, and who says “let them eat brownies?” My point is I’ve been sugar-free for a year, and I’m still eating cake … and brownies, as the case may be. It’s one of … Read More
Wilder Women Do, And They Don’t Regret It
It doesn’t seem possible that it’s already been a year since I first picked up Jasinda Wilder’s book Big Girls Do It Running. If you don’t already have a copy, I strongly suggest you one-click that sucker. Not only am I over ninety pounds down, but all my blood counts are also within normal range, and I feel better than I have in … Read More
