Easy Instant Pot Caramel Sauce

This recipe is so easy, so affordable and so fun ~ you’ll want to make it all the time. It’s a favorite of my husband’s…he loves it if I make this when we have apples! Gala are our favorite but we love to try unusual varieties sometimes too. They all taste good with this sauce,…

This is the way to go Keto at Cafe Rio.

My new fast food go-to. Chicken soup with extra chicken, no tortillas, cheese, guac and pico on the side. Sooooo good.

Oh yeah…

I officially have MASTERED Keto-friendly cold brew. I bought a $13 filter cone that fits a 2qt mason jar (anyone who knows me well knows I have a million mason jars of all shapes and sizes). I also bought Walmart brand coffee (I know, I know) in Mocha and Hazelnut. Just infused with flavorings, no…

Messed Up, Again

I had an indiscretion with some Atkins bars earlier today and my blood sugar shot up 60 points and has been slow to come down. I skipped dinner to try to make up for it, but haven’t been able to sleep for all the stomach growling. I finally made myself a ham/cheese omelet. And now…

Capsule Wardrobe Update | Two Years In!

I can’t believe it’s been two years since I MASSIVELY purged my clothes and went to a simple capsule wardrobr! I’m 35 pounds lighter than when I started two years ago, and still am losing, so I finally parted with some old, worn and now too big tops and dresses. It feels great to have…

$45 Emergency Meal Plan?

$45 “emergency” meal plan for a week for a family of 4-6! This is quite a bit older, so I was curious how much the shopping list would cost in today’s dollars. I priced it for Walmart, as of 12/27/2018 in Phoenix, AZ. Many of the items would be much more affordable if you can…

Bean day results!!!

I like to store my drained, cooked beans in quart-sized glass jars in the fridge. Beans should be refrigerated as soon as they cool enough to handle safely. They should be used within 2-3 days…anything left at that point can be moved to the freezer. (Note: If you plan to freeze in mason jars, you…

Bean day!!

What would I do without my Instant Pot!?! While I prefer to soak my beans for 24 hours, I often don’t plan well enough. I simply rinse them really really well, and then transfer to the IP with fresh water and salt (to taste). 60 minutes on high pressure is perfect for me for most…
