I love all kinds of plant based milks. I didn’t start drinking them because I had a lactose or dairy intolerance but because I was curious about all the other milk options out there. I couldn’t believe that the first 25 years of my life I consumed only milk that came from a cow. I’ve…
Bacon Jam
I was skeptical about why someone would need bacon jam but I sure feel silly now that I’ve tried it! I wasn’t sure what to expect but it is savory, smoky, salty, sweet, acidic. It is a little bit of everything perfectly balanced. I have been on a weight loss mission which is why you…

Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice
Honestly I kind of thought I was done with pumpkin for the season. I have been overwhelming you guys with pumpkin recipes. First there was homemade pumpkin puree, then there was super easy pumpkin soup, then chili with pumpkin puree in it and finally pumpkin pie. But this whole time I forgot something very important…
