Smiles and Trials 11.17.19

Smiles and Trials of the day.

Smiles – It is a wonderful dinner of BBQ ribs!  Working on them for 2 days, with defrosting, dry rub, oven, grill…  happiness!

Trials – When I thought I had another jar of G Hughes Sugar Free BBQ sauce in the pantry…. and I didn’t.  Ahh.. ok, so I truly am limited to the 2 T serving to keep me in line.

Birthday Food Fun And Leftovers

Birthday food fun is never boring, so the leftovers shouldn’t be boring.

I will start with my desert because it was wonderful!  I can make my low carb keto deserts… well, mug cakes is what I have been able to conquer.  Although, since we were near a local keto bakery I let them do the baking for me this year.  These are Keto Oreo Cookie Cupcakes from Sweet Keto Bakery.  If you are low carb/keto and don’t have a keto bakery near you Sweet Keto Bakery does ship their keto happines.

Friday Favorite – Easy Chicken Recipes

Welcome to Friday Favorite!
On Fridays I share a favorite of mine, it may be a recipe,
a spice, a technique, or a kitchen product I enjoy.

My August theme for Friday Favorites is going to be easy recipes.  Easy recipes are always great to have a nice stash of,  especially in August.  The last bit of Summer vacation before school starts, trying to organize when to be where, practice here and there, and getting used to the active school schedule again.  Or if you are retired, the weather is beautiful and you want to enjoy being outside instead of standing over the stove for dinner.
