Making crepes from scratch is one of those culinary endeavors I considered too fussy for my tastes. I even own a fancy crepe pan, a gift Ben bought me years ago at my request. I harbored romantic pictures of us recreating the piles of crepes I cooked with my host family when I studied abroad in France. Flash forward seven years: the crepe pan has moved into three different homes with us…and never emerged from its forgotten place at the very bottom of our pile of pots and pans....

Donuts were never a food we had around the house growing up. Even though my parents were far from low carb, they didn’t buy much that was processed. I would have happily eaten donuts elsewhere whenever given the chance, though. When I started trying to eat healthier years ago, I felt like I was missing out on donuts at the office, so I created this sugar-free keto donuts recipe with almond flour....

It’s here: the ultimate guide to sugar substitutes for baking, cooking, keto desserts, beverages, and everything in between! I get a lot of questions from people asking about the best sugar alternatives, the right keto sweeteners to use for a low carb lifestyle or diabetes, or simply how to cut refined sugar for better health or avoiding weight gain. Most of the keto options make excellent sweeteners for diabetics as well....

I jest. I’m sure, if pressed (or if the last Sweet Potato Bite were at stake), I could find one game Ben missed in the last 25 years, but it would be a challenge. In fact, this time of year, our entire communication system shifts to the team’s schedule. Sample conversation. Please note, this actually happened. More than once. Me: “The wedding is the 23rd.”Ben: “What?”Me: (checks schedule on phone) “The Michigan State Game....

This keto chicken salad recipe is one of those dishes you’ll want to keep on hand for comforting, healthy, convenient meals! Like other high-protein salads (such as egg salad or avocado tuna salad), you can learn how to make low carb chicken salad for a quick low carb lunch, snack, or light dinner using easy ingredients and just minutes of prep. Is Chicken Salad Keto? Most of the time, chicken salad is a naturally low carb meal option and is suitable for a keto diet, but that does depend what you put in it....

Cold weather has never been my friend: We’re into February, and all I can think about is counting down the days until summer produce and sandals. I can’t exactly escape the cold living in Minnesota, though. If it has to happen, bring on the low carb comfort food. In addition to the classic low carb soups and keto casseroles, a low carb keto meatloaf recipe definitely makes the list. (Plus, it happens to be a paleo meatloaf as well....

I mean, I didn’t think editing my book would be sexy, especially when compared to the juicier, most obvious aspects of cookbook writing like recipe testing and recipe photography. I was not, however, prepared for the way editing would fully and completely take over my life. One phase caused me to recoil at the sight of sweet potatoes which, prior to editing my cookbook, were my favorite vegetable. (The two of us have since made amends, but it took months....

Pizza is the ultimate comfort food. It’s what you eat when you’re celebrating a promotion, feeling blue, or just too lazy to cook. What’s not to love? Crisp and tender dough: check.

Our failure to take advantage of our fireplace feels rather criminal. We have a large stack of wood in the backyard for fuel, all of the fireplace tools we need, and plenty of chilly winter nights to merit the flame. My issue is inertia. On my couch, I’m an object at rest, and I will stay at rest, particularly if it’s cold and icky outside (and I have a mug of Hot Buttered Bourbon in my hands)....

So discovering recipes for guava cocktails made me feel like a kid on Christmas morning. Guavas have an intense, tart flavor with light hints of evergreen underneath the initial burst of sourness. The longer you let them sit, the sweeter they’ll get, but I prefer mine on the sour side. For all of these cocktails, you’ll use guava juice, which you can buy in bottles or cans, instead of pureed guava....
