Paleo Pancakes

This is one of my go-to breakfasts during the school year especially. It's also perfect for a gluten-free, low-carb, sugar free diet. It makes a great on-the-go breakfast in a cup when you cut up the pancakes and top with Swerve confectioners sugar and fresh fruit. One pancake with fruit keeps me full all morning long!

Our Favorite Chicken Pot Pie

Few things are more comforting than crescent rolls with yummy chicken goodness. There are many ways you can make chicken pot pie. I've tried several ways and the winning method was one I adapted by taking some from Joanna Gaines' recipe and some from another recipe I already had. I've made it with ready-made pie crust - both one-crust and two-crust. It just pales in comparison to the crescent roll top. I love how you can customize the dish to however small or large you want. You might even want to add hard boiled egg! That would be a "No" for my husband, but bring on more peas and he's happy. It's definitely a great supper for any time of the year!

Tomato Pie - Southern Living

My love for tomatoes has been a thing for as long as I can remember. My parents didn't grow up southern and didn't cook that way, so I was ignorant of  uniquely southern cuisine until later in my life (i.e. I had to have a high school friend explain to me what a "grit" was 🤣). So when I learned that you could make a pie full of tomatoes it made my heart sing!  Many recipes are simple and include lots of cheese and mayo resulting in a runny (yet yummy) substance on your plate. I saw this recipe in Southern Living magazine and the picture lured me in. The main difference I believe is the addition of bacon and an egg.  Bacon can make it "dinner worthy" because it's a meat/protein, and the egg firms up the consistency as it cools. It is time intensive because of the need to blind-bake the crust, pre-roast the tomatoes, and allowing them to cool. It takes even longer if you follow the recipe exactly and you make your own crust. HA! Who has time for that? So ...

Skinny Zucchini Lasagna

OK back to the healthy meals! I discovered this recipe when I was doing a keto diet some years ago. It has become not only my favorite keto meal but one of my favorite meals overall. It is low carb and low calorie because not only does it replace pasta with zucchini noodles but also ricotta with cottage cheese. You can also use ground turkey instead of ground chicken.  It takes a while at the front end because you have to prep and grill the zucchini slices. I went ahead and invested in a mandoline for easy and even slicing. Also, I typically use my gas grill instead of a grill pan or panini press.  There are a lot of slices so I found the outdoor grill afforded me more space so I could grill them all at once.  As for the sauce, I am still working on that balance. I guess you could just use regular pasta sauce and be done with it; but, if you make your own it can tend to be runny so I try to thicken it up with tomato paste and some flour. But as you can see in the final ...
