This veggie pizza is made with a premade cauliflower pizza crust that is delicious and both crunchy and chewy and a perfect choice for a low carb pizza option. While I have never been one to go on a diet, I do try to watch what I eat for the most part. Especially when we're nearing the Holidays and I know I'll be indulging a little more than normal. I'm the type of person that as soon as I tell myself "I can't eat carbs or sugar" I'll crave it and eat more than I ever would before! That's why I'm totally on board with making small changes to my diet that can make big impacts. Small swaps and alternatives that when you … [Read more...]

Do you use your Instant Pot for everything? I admit, mine sat in the box for months.

I kept seeing all these amazing Instant Pot recipes on Pinterest and even starting pinning them thinking "one day..." Well, I finally conquered my fear of my Instant Pot and I'm so glad I did because I now use it a few times a week. Actually, I'd probably use it even more if I would do better at meal planning.

  Have you tried to make instant pudding with a dairy alternative only to find yourself with a bowl full of soup? Fret no more, it IS possible to make almond milk pudding and here's how! When Sophia was diagnosed with a milk allergy at the age of 3, I thought the world was ending. I had no clue about any type of food allergies or dairy alternatives. Before we learned that news her favorite foods were cheese quesadillas, cheese puffs, and well, anything with cheese. I just knew it was going to be SO hard to help her go dairy-free. Turns out, it wasn't. Luckily even 4 years ago, there were plenty of dairy alternatives available. The only problem was that we had to travel out of town to get them. Living in a rural area in East Tennessee, our stores just didn't carry allergen-free products like bigger cities. Fast forward … [Read more...]
