What I am learning about eating low carb(ish) is that for me, it is not so much that the foods are low carb, but they must have lots of flavor. I keep seeing people say eating “healthier,” whatever that may be for you, is boring and bland. I cannot eat that way. So make this…

Low Carb Pizza Snacks
This has been my go to football snack and lunch recently. My doctor had said back in October to cut all carbs from my diet immediately or she was putting me on diabetes medication. I said, “Okay, I will.” It has been a HUGE learning curve for all of us since then. I have had…
Hot Crab Rangoon Dip
The other week I took a shot at making Simple Crab Rangoons (click for link to recipe) because I love crab rangoons from the local Chinese restaurant and I thought I could easily make these. They were good but I also wondered what would happen if I made this into a dip for our football…
Simple Crab Rangoons
With one of our two kids back to college we are going back to our routine of simple dinners and appetizers. I love appetizers for dinner. Serve them with a nice green salad and I almost feel okay about have a delicious bite or two instead of a whole meal. These are also great for…
Air Fryer Ravioli
Happy first day of Winter! My favorite day of the year. Each day from now until June the days will get slowly longer. Ah…. I have hope. Now that both kids are home our eating and cooking has changed. I don’t think my grocery budget doubles but rather triples when every one is home. We…
Leftover Mashed Potatoes: Ham and Cheese Croquettes
My son was invited to a “Friendsgiving” this year and he was so excited. He volunteered to bring the mashed potatoes as he was told the host would provide the turkey, Brussels sprouts, and tableware. Super! I love mashed potatoes and they are easy to transport and keep warm in a slow cooker. We made…
1970s Throwback: Con Queso Dip
Back in the 1970s my mother-in-law went to Texas to visit her cousin. While there she had this dip and loved it. There was nothing like it up in her northeast neighborhood so she asked for the recipe (it was on a Velveeta box) and brought it home. Soon it would be everywhere. She loved…
Game Day Roasted Corn Nachos
My wife had her second knee surgery on Wednesday so we are spending this week laying low. That means I get to watch all kinds of football games this week. I love to make nachos for the game because they are so easy to make and you can add just what you like to them….
Hot Shrimp Dip
Edit Post Preview(opens in a new tab) Hot Shrimp Dip We are back to watching football on Sundays. I love watching the Buffalo Bills. No, I am not a bandwagon fan but have been a fan going back to the Flutie years. Good and bad the Bills mafia is there for it all. So, we…

Bacon Chicken Bites
Graduation, Senior Car Parade, and Baccalaureate are all this week. We are so close to being done. As much as I don’t want it to all end we are all now ready for this. It seems to drag on for weeks and gets so tiring. We even decided to do our son’s graduation party in…
Smoked Sausage Bites
I had a HUGE order of groceries to pick up the other day but still had a few leftovers in our freezer and refrigerator I wanted to use up. I am trying to stay simple and what can be more simple than a charcuterie? I had a ring of smoked sausage to use and was…
