IT IS FINALLY FALL! I love all the fall colors, the pumpkins, the leaves, the scarecrows…all of it. I even love some of the scary parts of Fall, like googly eyes and a goblin or two…but nothing too scary. To welcome in everything fall and celebrate a little of the scary I give you Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies. For the record… these cookies are good anytime of year, I just really love how awesome they are with the fall colored M&M’s and the eye ball candy. All the chocolate I love, love, love chocolate. Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, bittersweet…I love it all. For…

Bacon Brussels Sprouts
A side dish can truly make or break a meal…but this quick Bacon Brussels Sprouts dish will make any meal AMAZING! Super Easy The beauty of this side is with a few simple ingredients and one pan you can create a side that everyone is sure to love…even those that are not big brussels sprouts fans. To amp up the flavor I cooked the sprouts in the bacon grease which not only helped to caramelize them perfectly but also added a ton of bacon-y (it’s a word I promise) goodness to each bite. It also meant that everything was cooked in the same pan, making clean up even easier! FYI…If…

Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole (KETO/Low Carb)
Who doesn’t love a good casserole. I know I do. They are my comfort food and this Bacon Cheeseburger has everything a good casserole should have, and then some. Bacon, please This casserole all starts with bacon. I used 1/2 lb of bacon and cut the strips into small pieces and then cooked it all in a large skillet. If you leftover bacon you can use it, but I love how the bacon flavor becomes the base of the casserole when you cook it in the same skillet as the meat. The bacon adds so much flavor and really elevates this casserole to the next level. My moms hamburger casserole…

Pumpkin Butter Cookies (KETO/Low Carb Friendly)
Happy Fall!! I cannot believe it is almost October! To celebrate I made KETO friendly Pumpkin Butter Cookies and they are AMAZING! The perfect Fall cookie One of my biggest fears going on KETO was missing out on the sweets. To be honest I do not have a big sweet tooth but I do like a little something sweet here and there. A couple of friends suggested I make “fat bombs” immediately and I did and I love them (I will post a recipe for those soon) but the last few days I have been craving a cookie or cake…specifically pumpkin cookies or cake. Thankfully I adjusted a favorite recipe…

Pork Medallions with Creamy Mushroom Sauce
I think this is the first time the word mushroom has been in the title of any post I have EVER made. It was not until a month or so ago that I even started eating them…and now I LOVE THEM, and they are perfect in this dish! Pork & Mushrooms While I was at the store the other day I came across a beautiful pork tenderloin. Now I am a big pork tenderloin fan, but I wanted to make a one skillet dinner so i decided to cut the tenderloin into medallions. Not only did it make the cooking time minimal, it also made for super tender little chunks…

Crispy Cheese Chips
To all my KETO/Low Carb friends do you ever find yourself craving something crispy like a chip? Well, I don’t know about y’all but I do. To help meet the craving I started searching for low carb chips and kept seeing these cheese chips and I had to give them a try. So Crispy Even though everyone online kept talking about crispy these “chips” were I just had to find out for myself. When I went to the store to get the cheese slices I found a party pack of pre-sliced cheese and I grabbed it right up. It had cheddar, havarti, colby and gouda. I was so excited to…

Roasted Beef Tenderloin
Is there anything more decadent than a perfectly cooked steak? It makes any meal feel a little more special, something to savor, but it can also be time consuming and hard if you can’t grill… don’t worry I have the perfect fix. This Roasted Beef Tenderloin is as good as any grilled steak and is so easy you won’t believe it. 5 ingredients and DONE Anytime I see a beef tenderloin on sale I grab one. The meat is super tender, it is the filet part of the steak. It cooks quickly and freezes beautifully. I love having one in the freezer for any special occasion that might pop up…you…
