Cajun gumbo is one of those things that everyone says that they or someone they know makes the best. “My aunt’s mom’s cousin’s recipe is the best! They’re from Louisiana!” Now I’ve only been to Louisiana once and didn’t even have gumbo when I was there so I’m not going to boast about how this is the best gumbo in the whole world but it's pretty incredible. When I tried my first bite my eyes literally lit up. Even my mom approved and she hates almost everything I make if it’s not a steak ... continue reading...

Low Carb + Keto Shrimp Alfredo with Zoodles
Shrimp alfredo is one of my all time favorite meals so when I went low carb/Keto I had to make my own version of Keto shrimp alfredo. I used to make it all the time in high school when I got home from school. Of course at that time the recipe involved eating tons of pasta and jarred alfredo sauce. Even *gasp* precooked shrimp. Now don’t get me wrong, in a pinch, a decent jarred alfredo sauce can be really delicious. Especially if you add your own little twist to it. So now I make ... continue reading...
