So, I'm the grocery shopper in the family. I know I can be a little OCD in a lot of areas and this is probably one of them. I have a notepad that hangs on the refrigerator. On the right hand side of the notepad is our 'running' list of items that we need. Then the night before I grocery shop, I write the day of the week on the left side of that notepad. From there, I comb through my recipe books or 3-ring binders of printed recipes to decide what I will be making for each of the meals. Since the recipe is right there in front of me, I can then add any ingredients that I know I don't have to my 'running' list of items on the right side. Now, in a perfect world, I would cook each of those meals on their perspective day of the week... haha... my world is so far from perfect it isn't even funny!! However, this paper is a great guideline! If one of my days turns upside down and I don't have time to cook the meal I had planned, I can either pick a more sim...

It was pretty darn good though! & very Filling! For the French Toast part I used 1 egg per person + 1/4c. Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk + Cinnamon + Ground Nutmeg.

Coconut Oil (or your choice oil). After you dip your bread in the 'egg coating' on both sides, place on your griddle. I like to sprinkle just a little bit more cinnamon & nutmeg on my bread at this time. Grill your bread til it has a nice caramel color to it on each side. My husband used sugar free pancake syrup on his but I decided to use about 2 tsp. Natural Peanut Butter per slice of bread and 1 tsp. Sugar Free Jelly/Jam per slice of bread on mine. Both w...

I know sometimes my pictures don't look the prettiest, but boy oh boy the food is delicious! Tonight's dinner was so quick and easy and oh so delicious! If you follow me on instagram (@shugarnotsspice), or have seen my last few food pics, you might have been wondering why my food is always on paper plates or plastic... Well, all my dishes are packed away. Since we put our house up for sale, I've only kept the bare bones of necessities out. It's been a little crazy, but that doesn't mean that I stop cooking! Here's the recipe! ​ Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken with Curry 1-1.5 lb skinless, boneless Chicken Tenders 1 sm. Onion, diced 16 oz. Salsa 1 t. Curry (or more - I love curry!) 1 c. Sour Cream (full fat) riced cauliflower or roasted broccoli or another amazing veggie you love! 1. Place all ingredients but the Sour Cream (& your veggie of choice) into a 3qt. Slow Cooker. Turn your slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours or high 3-4 hours. 2....
