Real Food. Real Health. Real Life.
Happy 4th! What better way to celebrate than with some food?! Fresh and flakey biscuits are one of those things that make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. The problem? I’ve never been able to find a biscuit recipe that is healthy and is…
Irish cream is the best addition to coffee on cold mornings. I love it and have tried basically all of them. My husband worked in the liquor industry for close to a decade. I worked with him pouring for a lot of his suppliers which…
My husband loves Bloody Marys. The first thing he asks when he wakes up when we go camping or have a brunch planned is, “Did you bring Bloody Marys?” This last weekend the answer was no, and he was so bummed. I am redeeming myself and bringing them for sure this weekend! This recipe is pretty much a typical Bloody Mary recipe. There are great premixed stuff out there however I am sensitive to sodium. Whenever I would drink them I would start to bloat and not feel good at all. I decided to make my own and see how I feel. They taste amazing and I don’t have any stomach issues which is great! I like them a little thinner with a lot of seasonings and not too much salt. I finally found one that was perfect! I tried juicing veggies and making my own V-8, which you can totally do, however I know that is not realistic for me every time. In the summer we serve a lot of Bloody Marys to people when we are camping and I just needed a more convenient way to make them. I love horseradish and make sure I get the extra hot one. I also use a lot of Tabasco so that part you may want to adjust to what works best for you. This recipe is for one drink, I usually multiply everything by 6 and put it in a pitcher for a crowd. Easy!
I used to pass on hashes when I saw them on breakfast or brunch menus. I think the only hash I grew up knowing was corned beef hash so it made them not super exciting to me. Then I started making them for my husband…
Blueberries? Lemon? Yes, please! The blueberry and lemon combo is one I adore. I love anything blueberry for breakfast, but when you compliment that with lemon, I want to dive head first into it. Watch your fingers! This loaf is so moist yet light at…
Who doesn’t love pancakes? Best. Breakfast. Ever! I’m not going to lie, there were times when I was younger that I would eat them for like a week straight. My mom can attest to this. Pancake binges y’all!
When you’re trying to keep it healthy it’s definitely a tough cake to make taste good and fluffy. Now, you could use some of those Paleo and gluten free mixes out there and get a decent result, but I typically notice an after taste in those, or don’t really care for some of the added ingredients in them.
I just needed to make my own damn healthy pancakes if it killed me. After much experimentation with different flour combos, I have done it. And since I love my husband so darn much and his favorite way to eat pancakes is parfait style, I dedicate this recipe to him. He also may have earned it because he ate pancake after pancake until the recipe was right.
