Next up on my sourdough adventure is this sourdough focaccia bread. Truth be told, until I met my Italian (well, he was half Italian half French Canadian, but never accepted the french part!), I had never heard of focaccia bread. My first attempt to make it was in 2010 – you can check out that post here.  Please ignore the awful food photography in that...

These protein waffles are perfect for meal prep.  Simply make on the weekend and you’ve got breakfast all week! You can use any protein powder you like.  In this recipe, I used FlavCity Butter Coffee protein smoothie mix and it was delicious.  25 grams of protein per scoop! Side note: the best sugar free pancake syrup in all the land is Mrs. Butterworth’s.  Only 1...

Sourdough Discard Bagels These sourdough discard bagels are one of the tastiest things to ever come out of my kitchen. Hannah even said it’s the best bagel she’s ever had, and she used to work at Panera back in the day! How to make sourdough discard. My road to getting my sourdough starter to make bread has been a long one.  I started it on...

These jumbo blueberry lemon muffins are the bakery style muffins you crave, with less calories and WW points! Have you ever had Casey’s gas station blueberry muffins?  So delicious!  I found out after the fact that just one (and it wasn’t even that jumbo!) was 26 WW points and 600 calories. Below are two recipes, nearly identical.  However the baking time was different for each...

Have you ever had a slice of Panera’s cinnamon crumb cake?! So good! But a slice of that is 24 points, and basically a whole day of points for me. When I think back to the way I used to eat, it was no wonder why I got so big.  I would eat a big banana muffin on the train to work.  At around 10:30...

This is a bold statement, but these are one of the best pancake recipes I’ve made – Pumpkin Protein Pancakes! People comment to me from time to time telling me what I can and cannot eat being diabetic. And it drives me nuts. I follow a woman on Instagram who is a Type 1 Diabetic coach for newly diagnosed and for parents of children recently...

Macaroni and Cheese and I have had a love affair for many many years.  This simple macaroni cheese is full proof! What kind of cheese is used for macaroni and cheese? Weight Watcher peeps – why does cheese have to be so many WW points?  I’ve been watching TikTok’s of macaroni and cheese recipes that use upwards of FOUR POUNDS of cheese. For this recipe,...

If you love delicata squash as much as I do, you’ll love these mini delicata squash bundt cakes. What is delicata squash? Delicata squash is a seasonal vegetable and you can find it in the months of September through November.  It does have a really long shelf life, so if you can still find them, buy them and they can sit on your counter for...

If you find yourself with leftover mashed potatoes, you need to make these mashed potato croquettes. If you have leftover gravy, these are perfect dipped into gravy! Side note:  if you don’t have leftover mashed potatoes, Simply Potatoes are really delicious! How long do mashed potatoes last in the fridge? You can eat leftover mashed potatoes 3-5 days after they are made.  Just store in...

Baking is a science so that’s typically why I stay away from it.  So when I made these pumpkin pie bites and they turned out amazing, I get so excited! The base of these pumpkin pie bites is Remy’s Graham crackers from Safe + Fair.  Side note:  Safe + Fair was the very first company I worked for when I first started to do influencer...
