Ah….Lavender flowers. Wonderful in soap, candles, hand lotion and………chicken? Yep. I know it sounds weird, but it works. Lavender lends a wonderful note in a symphony of flavors in Herbes de Provence. Herbes de Provence, originated in southern France, is a blend of herbs used in cooking savory dishes. […]

  I came across this recipe (Weight Watchers Sesame Chicken) on Pinterest a while ago and thought it would be a great one to adapt for fructose malabsorption because it is low in sugar. I love Chinese food and we still get take-out now and then even though it probably […]

  About four out of seven nights a week, I serve this salad as my veggie for dinner. It’s a tried a true recipe for me. I know it won’t disagree with me, plus it’s really easy to make. Mostly baby spinach, some hearts of romaine, carrots and shredded Parmesan. […]
