For Christmas this year my mom gave Hubby a few grill accessories, including a basket for veggies. We love grilling in the summer but haven’t really done much grilling with veggies, other than corn and jalapenos. I thought they basket would be great for making all sorts of different veggies. Last week Hubby decided he wanted […]

THM New Years Eve Snacks
New Years Eve when I was growing up was about eating pigs in a blanket, Rice Krispie treats, fudge, and other snacks as we stayed up watching tv and waiting for the ball to drop. Since the whole point is to stay up late it doesn’t make sense to have a full meal, its better […]

Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice
Yes, you read that right cauliflower rice. I decided to finally try this idea that you can use cauliflower to replace many starchy sides, including rice. Surprisingly it turned out better then I thought it would. With the right seasonings, it made a perfect side to fajitas. Most recipes call for fresh cauliflower that you […]
Baked Macaroni and Cheese
The inspiration of this recipe was found by my dear Hubby and I am so glad he did. I have only made a couple of homemade baked macaroni and cheeses so I was a bit nervous about getting it just right. This turned out amazing, this sauce before adding the cheese will be my base […]
Italian Pasta Salad
I wanted to make a side dish that I knew would be on the THM plan for easter this year and decided to go with this simple Italian pasta salad. I have never been a huge fan of the creamy traditional pasta salads, so instead I used an Italian dressing as the sauce to tie it […]

Most versions that I found simply rub toasted bread with the tomato flesh to soften it and serve with other dishes. I did a slightly different version that […]
