Have you ever wanted breakfast eggs with a different twist? Try Shaksuka eggs. They are an absolutely delicious Israeli style egg dish with cumin and smoked paprika. I love it for something different.

Hot Cocoa Bombs — THM S, Keto, Low-carb, Sugar-free
Hot Cocoa Bombs are the rage right now! If you have never heard of Cocoa Bombs, they are cute little chocolate balls that you place into a mug. When you pour hot milk over the chocolate balls, they melt, spilling out marshmallows, chocolate chips, and cocoa mix. Children just love these and so do adults for that matter!

Christmas is just around the corner and with it comes holiday baking! Baking cookies had always been a part of our family’s Christmas.

Zucchini…. is a very prolific veggie found in many gardens. My garden always has room for at least 6 zucchini plants! We love to use them in all kinds of ways.

Zucchini Pie/Quiche THM S, Gluten Free, and Sugar-free
Zucchini is one of the most prolific vegetables you can grow in your garden. Once they are picked they can be use in almost any vegetable side dish and even transformed into cakes, cookies and bars. I try and pick zucchini small…no larger than 10-12 inches but occasionally some get over looked.
