Party Hot Sauce
Hello tender friends! I didn’t know a hot sauce could taste FUN until Anthony made this. But habanero hot sauce puts me in a party mood! Also, even though this recipe uses pineapple, and pineapple isn’t typically keto-friendly, you use eat such a small amount at one time that I don’t think the carb count…

Just Call Me the Ant!
Hello tender friends! Remember the fable of the ant and the grasshopper? Nobody wants to be a grasshopper. Spending two hours of the morning harvesting okra and tomatoes may not be everyone’s idea of a good time, but fortunately it’s mine! Being out in the early morning light while the ground is still wet with…

Gourmet Garden Treat
Hello, tender friends! I have experienced culinary luxury. Luxury fit for royalty. And it’s keto and can be paleo if you leave out the aminos! (Why Queen Elizabeth as my royalty example? I’ll explain). I always favor nutrient density over trying to be fancy in the kitchen. Most of my creations are incredibly humble. I’m…

Celebrating Success!
Hello, tender friends! We peered into the chicken coop. Cub shouted, “Hooray!” Anthony and I picked him up and twirled him around. “We did it!” I said to Anthony. I’ll never forget that family moment we had when we realized two of our chickens laid their first eggs! (Sorry about the pictures being so pixelated…it’s…

Terrible to Tasty Squash Soup
Hello, tender friends! Does the world really need another squash soup recipe? I’ve typically viewed squash soup as glorified water, and the truth is that my first batch wasn’t great. So I cheated. I cheated! I added bell pepper and tomatoes to my second batch, and the results were delicious. Maybe it doesn’t count as…

Summer Garden Squash Fire Recipe
Hello, tender friends! In the words of Nelly, “It’s gettin’ hot in here.” The summer heat has arrived in Southwest Virginia. But we’re continuing to crank the heat up even higher…by eating hot peppers. I’ve been looking forward to that slightly painful beginning of season burn on the tongue, and it hasn’t disappointed! We have…

Free Collagen Source!
Hello, tender friends! Beauty. Health. Collagen provides both these things. I try not to promote healthy things as “beauty treatments” because the health benefits are more important. But the truth is that your skin is a good indicator of your overall health. (As are the eyes and tongue and many other things). While we’re conditioned…

Creamed Swiss Chard/Beet Leaves
Hello tender friends! Anthony has been saying, “I just don’t like cooked greens!” for long as I have known him. I can eat green swamp water for health benefits, so my opinion isn’t probably worth much. But you know that this recipe is good, because even Anthony said so! As usual, this left me elated.…

Swiss Chard Soup Delight
Hello, tender friends! It’s Swiss chard season here in SW Virginia, and every season makes me aware of my ignorance in seasons past. Here is my confession: the only thing I used Swiss chard for last year was juicing, as a wrap in place of bread for my chicken/veggie combos, and in salad. This feels…
