Here’s a collection of ideas for quick & easy foods and meals if you’re just starting out on this low carb ketogenic way of eating. Pretty soon it gets to be second nature and it won’t feel like a puzzle to figure out what to eat. In the meantime,...
We recently took this chocolate cheesecake to a dinner party. I try to make deserts when we have other people to share them with, that way we aren’t eating the whole thing! Anyway, I was looking around for a cheesecake recipe and I found one to adapt in an...
This recipe is adapted from Against All Grain by Danielle Walker and I want to give a shout out to her. Danielle has a great story of recovery from an autoimmune disease through a paleo style nutrition. Her recipes are not keto as she can use various forms...
An old, old recipe from House of Grace in my hometown of Paducah, Ky. We all loved going there during the 70’s and 80’s to eat Curtis Grace’s good food. His restaurant has moved, but he’s still there cooking for the locals. I omitted one little ingredient to make...

I often make up a batch of poppers for Friday nights. Here our Skye girl is hanging out waiting for a bite even though she has never tasted a popper. I don’t think she’d like jalapenos! She had to settle for a milk bone. You can find a bunch...
