Our favorite cold weather recipes- specifically BREAKFAST recipes- because when it’s cold outside, nothing is better than a hot breakfast after you’ve been out in the snow. We live in the south, in what might be THE most frustrating longitudinal coordinate possible. People an hour north of us get several inches of snow regularly in…
Tulsi Lavender Tea
Tulsi lavender tea is my very, very favorite relaxation tea. In the whole wide world. This past year, and specifically the past 3 months have been THE most stressful that I think I’ve ever had. I’ve been healing from adrenal fatigue with the help of my holistic doctor, and thankfully have been so pleasantly surprised at…
Fresh Start Strawberry Smoothie
This strawberry smoothie recipe is my reset button. I developed this recipe last year when I started on my protocols with Dr. Rob for my adrenal fatigue issues. At one point in my protocol, I was supposed to drink a green smoothie every three hours for three days, and then until day 14, I was…
Christmas Sugar Cookie Recipe – GF & SF
My regular Christmas sugar cookie recipe is totally out of this world good, and SO not on my diet. But we’ve been doing homemade sugar cookies, and sugar cookies frosting parties on Christmas Eve since my baby girl was born, 16 years ago.

Just like my Frozen Eggnog Milkshake that’s my other favorite this time of year. And yeah…even the Peppermint Chip counts too. Anything that keeps me out of the drive through…
Perfect Roast Turkey Breast Recipe
A perfect roast turkey breast recipe is no small feat. With my smaller family of white meat likers, I really like the option of getting a turkey breast, and usually buy several for the freezer when they’re on sale during the holidays. But the drawback of a breast is that the meat is so lean…
In a Jiffy Corn Muffin Recipe
This cornbread recipe is a game changer if you’re low carb or gluten free. I don’t know about you, but I’ve MISSED cornbread, and all the recipes I’ve been able to find use lots of almond flour instead. And for me, it’s just NOT the same. I noticed that my little local grocery store was…

When I was a kid, we lived less than a mile from a Big Star grocery store, and I would walk up there at least once a week with my allowance to score some treats. I usually went for the candy aisle, but one week, a 3 pack of giant streusel orange muffins caught my…
