French Dressing Recipe Sugar Free

April 20, 2015 By Gwen Brown 42 Comments

a french dressing recipe that's sugar free, delicious, and made with simple ingredients

The French dressing recipe that I posted a few weeks ago is so yummy, but it’s sweetened with honey. Since French is my very, very favorite salad dressing, I had to come up with a sugar free version and this is IT! It’s zesty, and full of flavor, but you probably already have all of…

Roasted Radishes- a low carb potato sub!

April 13, 2015 By Gwen Brown 8 Comments

roasted radishes are a great low carb potato sub. Get my easy roasted radish recipe here!

Roasted radishes are my new veggie love. Since watching my carb count, I’ve not super duper missed potatoes, but there were times when they were an important part of a recipe and I didn’t know what to sub. Cauliflower is the usual low carb pick, but did you know that you can also use radishes to give…

Tomato Cucumber Salad

August 13, 2013 By Gwen Brown 8 Comments

Tomato cucumber salad is the quintessential summer salad in the fridge of grandmothers all over the south.  Grandmother Porter used bottled Italian dressing as the marinade, and simply added more veggies to the bowl after each meal, creating an everlasting summer side dish.  It’s best with fresh tomatoes, but the mix even elevates grocery store…

So, you need a tzatziki sauce recipe to go with your Greek burger, which is already sizzling away to perfection on the grill.  I’ve got you covered!

greek spice mix recipe

Behold the Greek spice blend recipe of destiny. I know this is technically “cheat” blogging, since this is the first recipe I ever posted on my blog here, but the photographs were SO awful, that I went back and added some decent pictures.

cold cucumber soup recipe

It is so stinkin’ hot here.  This White Gazpacho recipe is the only thing that sounded edible for lunch, so I whipped up a batch, and basked in the creamy, chilled cucumber goodness.  I am not usually a fan of cold soups…tomato based gazpacho soups somehow feel like eating blended salsa to me.  Without the…
