My Birthday Party Menu

My birthday is July 23, and I’ll be 16 years old! Last Saturday, we celebrated my birthday party because that worked best with our schedule. I picked out a fresh, flavorful meal that we really enjoyed! Here, I’ll share with you all the recipes we used. We did adapt some of them, so these aren’t […]

Summery Greek Salad

Greek food is one of my favorite kinds of food. Salad is a wonderful way to eat all kinds of food. Early summer is one of the best times of the year. Who’s with me? 😉 Then how about a summery Greek salad? This salad was fantastic (even though I had to scarf it down […]

Healthy Homemade Hot Cereal

One of my go-to meals is “noatmeal,” a dish with very few carbs that has the texture of oatmeal. A warm bowl of hot cereal is a wonderful way to start a winter day! The ingredients are all pretty bland, so you can add pretty much whatever you want! I’ve made my noatmeal flavored with […]

Quick Low-Carb Bread for One

As I have said before, one thing that is important to me is taking care of the body God has given me. One way I do this is by avoiding refined sugars and other carbohydrates. But I’m not perfect… Although I eat very few carbs, sometimes, I want a sandwich. Or toast. 🥪🍞 This one […]

Food Photos

I’m so glad God gave us food. All five senses are so different and spectacular! God didn’t have to make our senses things to enjoy, but he did.

Before I get into the benefits, first let me give some guidelines for choosing the healthiest chocolate. The darker, the better. Dark chocolate obviously has more cacao and less milk […]

The Best Breakfast Ever

(In my humble opinion, anyway…)

(Nearly Paleo!) Homemade Peanut Butter Cups

I love Reeses peanut butter cups. So. Much. But sad to say, they aren’t the healthiest thing on the planet, and because I’m steering clear of processed foods, I haven’t had one in a while. Anyway, the other day, I googled Paleo peanut butter cups, and found these babies. The original recipe was by Erika at Living […]

~Decorating Cookies~

The other night, my little brother Rowan and I decorated some gingerbread cookies, which he has been begging to do for a while. They are his favorite cookie, so my mom kindly made some dough and he helped cut out and ice them. I saw a blog opportunity… So I joined in with my camera. […]
