High Protein Mac-n-Cheese
Since about mid-December we’ve been focusing on eating more protein. I wouldn’t say we’re dieting per say, at least it certainly doesn’t seem like we’re dieting when I eat the food that we’re eating.

Christmas Coconut Coolers
This year for our Christmas cocktail (which Tory & I made for Christmas 2017) we drew our inspiration from the December 2017 issue of Cooking Light. I think what really drew me to this cocktail when I saw it on the page was that it looked creamy but used coconut milk, which meant that my…
