Baked Eggs in Avocado Boats
Most of my reading audience is Christian, but Jesus seems so far away these days. He’s in my heart always — but it’s hard to find him in the world. When I’m reading around online, I’m surprised at what I see Christians saying.
I thought maybe we could all join in a little reintroduction to Jesus. Who is He?
Cajun Catfish (low-carb, gluten-free, and delicious!)
I promise I will talk about important things again soon, but right now I want to take five minutes or so and just think about TRADER JOE’S and CAJUN CATFISH. Anyone up for five minutes of self-care with me?
Here’s the plan: let’s talk about our favorite things at Trader Joe’s because that’s always fun, and then I’ll give you an awesome recipe that has nothing to do with Trader Joe’s just ’cause it’s really tasty. Sound good? Good.
My favorite things at Trader Joe’s right now in no particular order are: (more…)
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups (Low-Carb, Gluten-Free)
Which holiday has the best seasonal candy? Christmas has candy canes and Halloween has candy corn, so they obviously lose. Halloween does get props for all the trick-or-treat candy on the shelf, though — especially mini-Twix. Mini-Twix almost make up for candy corn. But you can’t really make up for candy corn.
Chocolate Coconut Macadamia Nut Cups (Low-Carb, Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free)
The other day I raided the fridge for a “snack” between meals and settled on a bite — JUST ONE BITE — of my Vanilla Bean Cheesecake. But there was a problem. The bite I took left the piece kind of crooked. And I hate a crooked piece of cake, y’all — it’s just not right. So I took another bite. You know, just to even it out.
But it wasn’t quite even. I’m sort of a cake slice perfectionist. So I made the difficult decision to eat a whole other row of bites. Sure, I probably shouldn’t eat so much cheesecake. But what a relief it’d be to have a nice, even slice left in the fridge.
Salmon Tacos with Cilantro-Lime Slaw
This post is going to be a midweek sob fest, so let me reassure you before we begin: there’s a taco recipe at the end! And the tacos are super quick and so delicious that Mike and I have eaten them for dinner four nights in a row! It’s all gonna be okay!
Now for the depressing story. I love Susie’s Senior Dogs, an organization that advertises senior rescue dogs on social media to increase their chances of getting adopted. Yesterday they shared Kooper, a deformed dog with many health issues at the overwhelmed and underfunded high-kill Miami-Dade Animal Shelter. Kooper immediately won my heart because of how sweet he seemed despite his unhappy circumstances.
