I like to cut calories and fat out of my food when I can, but I’m no nazi. Let’s be honest, most sugar-free, low-fat, or low-calorie desserts are never that great. I’m sure you’ve all heard of “diet soda cakes and cupcakes”. Supposedly you can replace the eggs, water, and oil you would normally add…

Twice-Baked Cauliflower
Cauliflower is one of my favorite veggies, especially steamed & mashed with a little butter.

Twice-Baked Cauliflower will give you the same satisfaction as a twice-baked potato…..only it’s not quite as “naughty.” It was a great side…
Buffalo Chicken Wraps
Before I met Brett, I was not a “wings” girl. But the very first time I went home with him, his family introduced me to this little wing shaq in Thornton, Colorado that they absolutely love, called Woody’s. I loved it too and since then, I’ve been a “wings girl”. Unfortunately there aren’t any restaurants…
