This past Sunday, we celebrated the boys' birthdays. We had so many delicious food for our family who came. Two of them were soups. One was the INSTA FAMOUS FAVORITE SOUP, that many of you love so much it's insta famous. ;-) The other is what Blaine and I really love. The white chicken chili soup. When I showed you what Blaine was making[...]
Every year for Blaine's birthday, I make him eggs benedict. This year I didn't get a chance to make it for him the morning of his birthday since we headed out of town for a football game. I made it for him today, and he sure loved it! I got this recipe from Simply Recipes. INGREDIENTS: 4 pieces of Canadian Bacon 4 eggs 2 teaspoons[...]

This is a favorite for all of my four kids! Plus, it's soooooo easy to make! I got the recipe from my brother in law (Niña Williams Blog) when we were on vacation in Wisconsin 9 years ago! The kids eat the entire pan of pasta! Like I said, they LOVE it! Dylan actually named it the "favorite pasta" dish, and we've been calling it that for five ye[...]
Here’s another Keto friendly option for you! Blaine has made a LOW CARB PIZZA CRUST before using cream cheese and eggs, but sometimes you just don’t want to put in too much work and create more dishes to clean up. 😉 I found this CALI FLOUR - JALAPEÑO CRUST and wanted to try it! It’s available at Hy-Vee (our local grocery store). On[...]
With the Keto challenge, I wanted something healthy to snack on! I found this BAKED PARMESAN ZUCCHINI RECIPE on PINTEREST . I did both zucchini strips and "chips" to see which one I liked better. INGREDIENTS: 2 zucchinis (recipe calls for 4 if you just do quarter lengthwise cuts) 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme[...]
I'm already 5 days in on this challenge and feeling great! With dance recital last week, I got behind on these blog posts! Let’s start with day 2. The kids requested TACOS! Our family LOVES tacos! One thing I want to do with this challenge is still be able to eat meals I love but make it more Keto friendly. First up, toppings! Blaine chopped[...]
I’m so excited many of you want to do this challenge with me! If you missed it, head to this BLOG POST. I’d love to know any recipes you try that were a success as I would love to share! I finally tried to make some cheese crisps! I only did a few this time because I didn’t know how they’d turn out, but next time I’m doing a whole pa[...]
Here’s a Keto dinner idea for those who need it. We got this one from Pinterest per usual. 😉 Click HERE for the recipe we used. Instead of a crockpot, Blaine used our Instant Pot. We sure love it especially since it makes dinner in a short amount of time! 🙌🏽 Ingredients: 4-5 boneless chicken breasts1 packet dry ranch dressing[...]
The drink I'm currently obsessed with right now is from Smoothie King. I'm a Starbucks refresher girl so this is kind of a big deal. ;-) It's perfect for when I'm on the go and want to drink my lunch. If I want a low carb drink, I get the Chocolate Gladiator with almonds and coffee. Niña tasted my chocolate gladiator one time and procee[...]
