Apple Crumb Pie

by Jessica June 11, 2013

This last weekend, we went to Grant’s Family Reunion in North Carolina from Friday through Sunday morning. It was a wonderful visit, and it was so nice to finally get to see all of his Mom, Sister, Brother-in-Law, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins again. Most of the menu was already planned since everyone there is a great cook/baker. So, I brought some desserts to add to the celebrations since all the main meals were already covered. Also, the desserts I made traveled well so that is always a plus. So here is my apple crumb pie that I made the day before our trip.

Pie Crust

by Jessica June 10, 2013

Sorry about the long break in posting, this is not what we meant to do! We took the time and updated the blog, which changing a lot of the photos took some time, and after that we have been super busy! Memorial day weekend we took it really easy because we knew this month of June would be NON STOP for us. So on the weekend of the first we drove to Nashville to rent a pontoon boat with Kira and Andrew. Well, it looked like it was going to rain and was forecasted so we had to reschedule for a different day, but then of course it never rained! Kira and I went to see Amy and swim in her pool instead. Then this last weekend we had a Family Union for Grant’s Family to attend as well as Kira’s Baby Shower. So, the next posts you will see will be from our trip or recipes I made for that trip. Here is my post on how I make pie dough… it is nothing special, just the older Better Homes and Garden’s recipes,but I figured I would post it anyway.

Keto Coconut Baked Donuts!

by Jessica April 18, 2013

I found this recipe online HERE, and decided to do a picture tutorial for it since it tasted so good! This recipe can be made into muffins, cupcakes, or donuts. I happened to have a donut pan that I won in a giveaway, so I figured it was time to use it!

Keto Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Icing

by Jessica February 22, 2013

So, I feel like all of the recipes that I am posting are sweets. We do eat a lot of veggies I promise! Most of those recipes we eat, I have already posted like the baked squash that has been a favorite of late. Also, for lunches, I have found that taking frozen veggies like broccoli or green beans placed in a tupperware with a little bit of seasoning are great for lunches. Just microwave for a 2-3 minutes, and you have perfectly steamed veggies. Since I work from home it is easy to ignore my lunches or crave things I shouldn’t, so I have found the most effective way to eat well is to pack myself a lunch at the same time that I pack Grant’s. That way, I almost always eat what I have packed since it is easier to do that than prepare something else.

Keto Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

by Jessica February 20, 2013

Since we have started our diet, we haven’t felt very restricted; there are a few things that we crave but nothing to terrible…. I have a HORRIBLE sweet tooth, so I am always on the look out for good desserts that I can have. Grant and I like ice cream,but I normally don’t crave it very often unless it is moose tracks/happy tracks. I stay far away from that crack as I can cause once you pop you can’t stop. Anyway, for my birthday, I got an Amazon gift card from Amanda & Bryan, and I had been looking at buying a certain something for a while, and broke down and got it with that gift card.
