Easy Low Carb BBQ Sauce Recipe

July 9, 2018 by Faith 1 Comment

This Easy Low Carb BBQ Sauce Recipe has a classic well-rounded flavor profile; it’s the perfect balance between sweet, tart, spicy, smoky, and umami flavors.

After I started cutting back on carbs, I realized just how much hidden sugar is in so many of our foods. Like ketchup, for example. Yes, it’s sweet, but it’s not dessert so it really has no business being that sweet, lol! And yet you wouldn’t believe how much sugar it packs, and guess what? A lot of BBQ sauces on the market have even more sugar than ketchup.…

Ancho Chili Peach Blender BBQ Sauce {Wolf Gourmet Blender Giveaway with a Retail Value of $599.95}

September 5, 2016 by Faith 115 Comments

Ancho Chili Peach Blender BBQ Sauce is sweet and tangy with a touch of spicy heat. I used to think that most people either fall into the creamy condiment camp (like mayo) or the sweet/tangy condiment camp (like ketchup, honey mustard, and BBQ sauce). That’s because until about five years ago when I discovered the bliss that is homemade mayo (not to mention how insanely easy it is to make), mayo just wasn’t my thing....

Vanilla Mango Preserves

June 10, 2016 by Faith 5 Comments

This Vanilla Mango Preserves recipe takes just an hour to make; it’s a delicious tropical twist on your favorite fruity jam and a great way to spiffy up your morning toast. So apparently mangos are like zucchini. When they’re in season, anyone with a tree will do just about anything to use them up. A friend of ours dropped off two pretty big boxes of mangos in less than a week, knowing they’re one of my favorites. It was such a sweet gesture that left us eating mangos hand-over-fist, and yet we still weren’t able to keep up with those mangos....

2-Minute Homemade Teriyaki Sauce {Paleo}

September 16, 2015 by Faith 6 Comments

Make your favorite Japanese dishes at home with this versatile 2-Minute Homemade Teriyaki Sauce! Plus it’s paleo and you probably have everything to make it on hand right now. When Mike gets to choose our restaurant for date night, he inevitably goes with Lebanese or Pakistani. I was on a serious Indian food kick for a while when it was my turn to pick a place, but I had it so much even I got sick of it (which is unheard of for me), so now I’ve taken to exploring smaller, locally-owned restaurants of all kinds in our area (they are usually full of charm […]...

An Innovative Peanut Buttery Twist on a Few Thanksgiving Favorites

I remember my very first Thanksgiving that I had away from my parents’ house. It was a culinary disaster....

Mango Chutney

August 15, 2014 by Faith 3 Comments

You know the appetizers they bring to the table at Indian restaurants – usually papadums (lentil crackers) with dipping sauces and chutneys? When I started craving one of those chutneys and looking forward to it more than my actual meal, I knew I needed to make it at home....

Chinese-Inspired Plum Sauce {Paleo}

May 7, 2014 by Faith 7 Comments

I got you some fruit – your favorite!, Mike said with a huge smile one day a while ago when he came home from work. I ran over eagerly and peered into the large brown paper bag he was holding, wondering if it was housing apples, grapes, figs, or maybe even dragon fruit....

Spiced Blueberry Chutney + The Ploughman’s Lunch

October 9, 2013 by Faith 8 Comments

After making Rye Bread I thought making about a nice homemade jam to go with itsomething sweet, spiced, and fall-like. My mind went to my Spiced Balsamic Concord Jam not only because its such a beauty, but also because this time of year Concords are always on my mind. Not even knowing if I could find Concords here in Kuwait, I decided on something a bit simpler to make, yet still completely flavorful: Spiced Blueberry Chutney. Instead of being just sweet like jam, it has a balanced flavor profile and nice melding of sweet, salty, sour, and spicy. Its just as perfect on a turkey […]...

Homemade Madras Curry Paste

May 7, 2013 by Faith 17 Comments

Curry paste is something I normally don’t think twice about buying pre-made for the sake of convenience (not to mention the fact that pre-made is usually pretty good!). That is, until last week when I was looking lustfully at this lovely recipe and I realized that I had everything on hand – sans the curry paste – to make it. But I did have everything to make the curry paste itself. I made a quick call to a friend (who asked to remain anonymous) who knows Indian cooking like the back of her hand and guided me through making the paste, which was completely done from […]...

Classic Pesto

October 16, 2012 by Faith 19 Comments

Normally I’m a planner. I have calendars and lists and notebooks, all organized by topic and order of importance. That’s not to say I’m always on top of stuff or that I don’t procrastinate, lol…but even if I’m not on top of something, I usually know what it is that I’m procrastinating. That carries over into blogging because I like to plan out my posts a bit in advance…and this pesto was not on the agenda....
