I received this skillet as a Christmas present from my wife last year. I have to say, I go through phases of what I want for Christmas. This year it was cooking contraptions. I had previously used a co-workers electric skillet at work and really liked it; so I dropped…
With my wife fighting the flu and the recent on-set of Winter Part II here on the eastern coast, I decided it would be a great time to make Chicken Soup and share this recipe. This is the classic chicken soup without the noodles. It does take a little while…
I typically do not go to restaurants unless i’m out of town or for special occasions. I would much rather enjoy my own cooking. However, sometimes it’s nice to go enjoy yourself and let someone else do the hard work. When faced with this, I try to find a place…

This is my take on the traditional vinegar-based Eastern NC BBQ Sauce. While it’s perfect for pork, it also lends a great flavor to chicken, turkey and heck I’ve put it on salad! Enjoy! (PS) Picture coming soon Eastern NC Style BBQ Sauce Print Recipe This is my take on…
This is my go-to for pork, chicken and turkey (haven’t tried it on beef). It’s spicy so a little goes a long way. You can omit the cayenne and/or the red pepper flakes without detracting from the flavor. BBQ Butt Rub Print Recipe This seasoning is great on pork, turkey…
I’ve read a few arguments that exercise is not a necessity when living a low carb / keto lifestyle. Personally, I call bull$hit!! I’ve been lifting weights since I started my journey three (3) years ago and honestly, I feel that I owe a lot of the weight loss to…
