Believe it or not, this recipe actually started out as a soup. I was experimenting with making a pumpkin-soup for Thanksgiving, and decided I needed to fortify it with some hemp seeds for additional protein and fat. I then casually left it a bit too long on the stove, and came back to find itRead more
Happy Halloween, everyone! Halloween is hands-down my favorite holiday of the year. I just love every aspect of it…except for the candy. I have yet to find a commercially-produced vegan keto candy that doesn’t upset my stomach. So, like with most things, any Halloween treats I decide to indulge in are made at home.Read more
St. Patrick’s day is upon us, and we make a really big deal of that in the Boston area. Usually this means eating corned beef and cabbage, drinking a lot of Guinness and baking soda bread. It also usually means listening to Nana Pat wax poetic about the Kennedys and listening to how your familyRead more
Growing up near Boston with an Irish Catholic mother meant that every St. Patrick’s Day, we ate corned beef and cabbage. Yes, I know this isn’t a traditional Irish dish, but it’s certainly become an Irish-American classic, and it’s what many of us here stateside remember when we think of Paddy’s Day.

So, I’m not typically someone who gets all giddy at the idea of Valentine’s Day, but I do really like cheesy romantic-themed things, like a little fondue pot for two, with those tiny skewers and the little tea light to keep things warm. I actually happen to have one of those sets, and this yearRead more
Let me paint you a word picture – imagine a grown woman, wearing a reindeer onesie and listening to Wham’s “Last Christmas” while dancing around her kitchen, drinking cashew eggnog and making cookies.

I think cookies are really the ultimate Christmas food, so for the past week, I’ve been thinking of all the low carb Christmas cookies I want to bake this year! The other day, I made low carb gingerbread cookies, and last night, I pulled out my little Linzer cookie cutters – and low carb veganRead more
Oh, the weather outside is frightful! Okay, so, it’s not really frightful in the least bit. But, it is chilly out, and chilly weather always makes me want to bake thing, like cookies. I’ve always loved pinwheel cookies, which is irritating, as they are the most challenging cookies to make. They’re super delicate and require someRead more
Sugar cookies are my favorite type of cookie (well, those and snickerdoodles), but as the name implies, they’re not all that keto friendly. So, I really wanted to come up with a low carb vegan sugar cookie that I could enjoy during the holidays. Now, crunchier sugar cookies, and rolled sugar cookies (you know, theRead more
One of my favorite things about fall (well, in addition to basically everything else about fall) is that pumpkin recipes become totally acceptable. I’ve been working through a can of pumpkin puree over the past few days and decided that instead of making something sweet today, I’d take a stab a a low carb veganRead more
