Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies
I first made these when I was dating my husband. Each Christmas we would get together with his parents and make candies and cookies. It is one of our traditions and one of my favorite things during the Christmas season. I think it was our second Christmas that we made these. I loved them and […]
French Onion Chicken [THM-S]
The hubby has always loved a good french onion soup, when I saw it turned into a chicken dish I thought it was a great idea. It takes all the goodness of a warm bowl of french onion soup and adds in chicken and you can eat it over pasta. It just doesn’t get much […]

Chicken Fajitas
We love a good Taco night at our house, even though it is usually enchiladas and not tacos. Last week I had extra chicken thighs and decided to make some fajitas. I knew that I could make them on plan using some low carb tortillas and making sure our sides didn’t have any carbs. Have […]
