Stealing a page from inspired by Mrs. G’s blog posts of her favorite things, here are a few of my favorite things:

I have labeled some of my recipes gluten free and low carb– the below is an explanation of what I mean by each, and why.
I try to eat low carb because I’ve got an endocrine disorder (PCOS) that makes me less able to efficiently process carbs– I get really heavy and unhealthy (migraines, IBS, [...]

Here’s my attempt at a Ginger Beef & Broccoli stir fry. I marinated the beef in soy sauce, the juice of 1/2 a lime, some Penzey’s Bangkok Blend, and a grated thumb (1 1/2 inches, appx.) of fresh ginger for an hour before cooking. I par-steamed the broccoli in the wok before starting [...]
