Cooking in this new year 2021! Mexican-style pulled pork, shown here with some lettuce and sour cream on the side. You could also use a pork loin, but we found this pork butt roast on sale this week for 99 cents a pound. I’m hearing from so many people...
I hope this New Year’s note finds you as healthy and as happy as possible. On the one hand, 2020 has been a long, long year. On the other hand, it feels like it has flown by. Hard to believe it’s time to be thinking of a New Year! But...

I’m more of a soft cookie fan, but Mark likes the crisp, flat cookies better. And you might know that “crisp” is a texture that’s not exactly easy to obtain with nut flours. Our friend Ben, aka as benlowcarb on Facebook, shared this recipe along with his tips...
