Christmas Sugar Cookie Recipe – GF & SF

December 21, 2015 By Gwen Brown 43 Comments

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.

Gingerbread Milkshake

December 9, 2015 By Gwen Brown 22 Comments

Baby, it’s cold outside! So WHY am I making a milkshake? Because it’s a gingerbread milkshake! That makes it a seasonal flavor, and totally legit. 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…

Homemade Butter Recipe- Our Family Tradition

November 24, 2015 By Gwen Brown Leave a Comment

Making this homemade butter recipe has become a family tradition. Every year on Thanksgiving, I grab an extra carton of heavy whipping cream, and pour it into a jar with a pinch of salt, and seal it up with a tight fitting lid. We usually do Thanksgiving with relatives, so the kids shake the jar…

Perfect Roast Turkey Breast Recipe

November 19, 2015 By Gwen Brown 13 Comments

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…

Low Carb Streusel Orange Muffin Recipe [FP or S]

October 19, 2015 By Gwen Brown 30 Comments

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…

October 12, 2015 By Gwen Brown 6 Comments

Know what your low carb muffin needs? Streusel. This yummy, sugar free, low carb streusel is so simple, and really elevates any low carb baked good from “this is good” to “this must be a special occasion!” And did I mention simple? It only uses 3 ingredients. You’ll need: butter, protein powder, and a low carb sweetener…

Cinnamon Red Hots Tea Recipe

October 6, 2015 By Gwen Brown 16 Comments

This red hots cinnamon tea recipe tastes like those bright little candies, but it’s really a super healthy treat! I have tried through the years to like healthy teas. Like green tea. I KNOW it’s super good for you, but…I just couldn’t dig it. And then there was Matcha tea. I bought a box after…

I posted a lemon yogurt recipe back in 2013, and it’s been one of my personal favorites, and yours too! It’s one of the most popular recipes on my blog. And for good reason. It tastes like a little slice of lemon heaven…a mix between pudding and lemonade pie. If you’re getting used to Greek…
