Leading a low carb lifestyle is much easier when you have tasty treats available for when your sweet tooth strikes. Believe me, I’m talking from experience! The first time I had GD (gestational diabetes), I struggled with finding food that I could eat that wouldn’t raise my blood sugar. Because of that, I ended up falling off the wagon quite a few times and, consequently, feeling guilty and as if I was harming my unborn child....

Now, ocean sunsets, the Grand Canyon, and every Tim McGraw song ever recorded might argue for the title and tiara, but I maintain that the casserole deserves recognition in the beauty department, especially at this most blustery time of year. Oh sure, casseroles are ultra oozy, lose their shape immediately when cut, and are generally a food photographer’s worst nightmare, but their inherent value as a one-dish meal that’s comforting enough to cure a broken heart is worthy of respect....

I absolutely loved these chocolates and the first thing that I noticed about them is they didn’t have a waxy taste to them....

As soon as I heard we were getting a snow storm, I ran to the grocery store to buy the ingredients to make Pörkölt.

As it’s the case with most stews, Pörkölt is a simple dish, delicious not because of its complexity in cooking, but for the amazing rich flavors – coming predominantly from the smoky earthiness of the paprika – and the tenderness from the slow cooked beef....
