Want a chocolatey peanut buttery ice cream treat? Of course you do. Want it to be full of protein, healthy fats, and minerals? Don’t care, you say? I get it. But now you can have your ice cream and eat it too, all while fueling your lean muscle mass and reducing blood sugar impacts. How? […]
Anytime I make a dish with noodles, I think about Kung Fu Panda. I guess it’s because that movie came out when my youngest son was four years old, so I figure I have watched the first one at least one million, five hundred and seventy-five times, on a conservative estimate. It’s so ingrained in […]
Dear readers, we have been on a roll with both songs and bananas as of late. I’ll give you a break with the former this week, but we will stick with the latter for one more ride. Bananas are easy to get and relatively cheap as fruits go, they travel well, and contrary to rumors, don’t really […]
It’s getting hot. The days of heavy meals are distant memories now, shaky images in the rearview mirror of culinary winter. I still need dessert, though, no matter if it feels like Venus on a bad day outside right now. It needs to be light, it needs to be refreshing, and it needs to be healthy. […]
Whether it’s fish, BBQ, or burgers, the best part of summer eats to me was always the sides. Potato salad, cole slaw, fries and hushpuppies… those were always what I really loaded up on at the lake picnic.

Who doesn’t love cinnamon rolls? I wasn’t picky about them back when I ate whatever crossed my path. It could be homemade and fresh baked, or a stale gas station special wrapped in cellophane.

There are times when I plan out my grocery list for the week that I have no idea what I’m going to cook. I’m sure you have experienced this as well. You’ve hit all the favorites too many times, don’t have the energy to tackle some new and involved recipe, or nothing sounds good. This […]
There are certain things that have the power to take you back in time. No, I’m not talking about a complex invention like a Delorean with a flux capacitor, or a theoretical tunnel through space after crossing the event horizon of a black hole. Something as common as a scent will do, especially if it […]
Of all the high octane desserts that still call to me after all these years, it’s cheesecake. I get angry when I see cheesecake, because once you understand exactly how loaded just one slice is with fat, sugar, and calories, there is no way to justify eating it. Forget how many hours on a treadmill […]
There was a time when the low carb keto diet trend really took off and anyone trying to lose weight was terrified of potatoes.Starchy root vegetables were all suddenly evil, and they were replaced with eating bacon, butter, and pan-fried 80/20 hamburger patties without the fat drained off of them. To any of you still eating […]
