Keto, Diabetic Friendly Dessert: Pumpkin Mousse

So yesterday came and went, and I wasn't feeling too hot.  I'm here today, though! And I have an amazing recipe that will be a hit at any family get together.  This recipe makes A LOT of mousse, but no worries!

My Favorite! Orange Cranberry Chutney Recipe!

Y'all.... the Holiday Seasons is official among us! We've made it through Thanksgiving, and Black Friday. We're well on our way into the Christmas/Hannukah season now!

When about half of your cranberries have popped, add your orange juice, orange zest, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves. Continue heating and stirring. Once all the cr...

When Your Kids Need More

There are brands of foods and drinks they don't like.  There are colors of brands they do like..... that they don't like... There are flavors , and textures , and seasons of the year .... Before you ask... only one of them has slight sensory issues. They're just both a little too much like their mother ;) So when I received this free sample of L'il Critters Gummy Vites, I was worried they were going to be a waste of time. I applied to try them out, hoping we'd find an option that my kids would not only love, but that would genuinely be good for them. "Mom, we're getting ready for school. Just let us take our vitamins and go!" "Just smile like you actually care about my feelings, okay?!" - real conversation that happened just this morning... Turns out, my kid...
