Protein Bars!! I love them for a quick snack when I’m busy at home but I still need something to eat or when I’m traveling. Cranberries and Coconut pair wonderful in this bar. When cranberries can be found in grocery stores over the holiday season, I will purchase a number of bags to dry or freeze. These dried cranberries make a wonderful, chewy addition to protein bars.

Irish Soda Bread is a quick bread that has a crusty exterior and a soft dense inner crumb. This bread is often served on St. Patrick’s Day. Irish Soda Bread is a traditional quick bread that has raisins or currants added to the dough before baking.

If you have ever been a tourist and traveled through Lancaster County, Pennsylvania? There is one kind of pie you will find at every roadside stand. A Shoofly Pie! My favorite version is what is called a wet-bottom pie. This pie features a cake like upper layer with a gooey, custard-style bottom layer baked in a flaky pie crust. So yummy!

From a little child and up, I always loved Ramen Noodles. This Homemade Ramen Noodle Bowl has become a favorite of mine. It is chock full of lean protein, veggies, and low-carb noodles. What is not to like about that!!

Protein Bars! Have you ever wished you could buy a protein bar that didn’t have sugar in it? Did you know you can make these easily at home? I love to have protein bars on hand for when I have to be away from home for a few hours or traveling. Here is a Strawberry Protein bar that is sugar free and full of healthy goodness.

Our family loves to try different types of ethnic dishes. This meal of Moroccan Chicken and Rice has become a favorite. The turmeric gives the chicken and rice a golden color and a wonderful flavor. An Instapot is a winner with this recipe as it contains any splatters of turmeric. I love it!

Who doesn’t like a flaky, tender pie crust? With the addition of sourdough starter you get the benefits of healthier carbs combined with the flaky tender crust you are looking for. This recipe is also a way to use up that extra starter that you have been keeping in your fridge.

My Husband grew up in a family that butchered every winter. This family tradition is still going strong with the 4th generation helping. We no longer kill the hogs on site but a butcher shop does it for us. They are then cut in halves which makes it much easier for us to work with. After the hogs are picked up and that is when the fun begins.


Focaccia is an easy to make flatbread bread that pairs wonderfully with a steaming hot bowl of soup or pasta. Sourdough Focaccia is the best because it has a soft chewy crumb that is hard to beat.
If you are on the line about sourdough, this recipe is one of the easiest to try. The toppings and spices can be varied to suit your taste. Just be sure to limit the oil to less than a teaspoon per serving to stay in an E setting.
