Sugar-Free Spicy Margarita Recipe

Sugar-Free Spicy Margarita Recipe

Austin and I love a good margarita moment. And if it's spicy, that's even better in our book. This spicy marg recipe has been a nice treat during these summer months. I actually made these for our friends and they couldn't believe they were sugar-free. Usually, I am not a fan of mixers. I find them overly sweet and typically they taste really "artificial". But a TTD reader told me about Swoon mixers (zero sugar zero cals) and encouraged me to order the Margarita mixer. For a low-carb and zero sugar drink, we were impressed. It's made from Monk Fruit (a melon native to Southeast Asia that has natural sweetness) and has zero calories and carbs. We've been cooking with Monk Fruit for a while since starting F Factor, and it's the closest thing to sugar that we've tasted (unlike Splenda or Stevia). It took Austin a minute to get used to it, but I liked it right away. I've already bought a few bottles to share with the family over 4th of July weekend. ...

10 Low-Carb Snack Options We Keep In The House

10 Low-Carb Snack Options We Keep In The House

If you follow me on Instagram Stories or are in my private Facebook Group (request to join and I'll accept you!), you know I've been pretty open about our F-Factor journey and what Austin and I have done to lose weight and make healthier choices. Our goal this year was to shed a few extra pounds and actually stick with this as a lifestyle. A lot of you have requested "grab and go" snacks that would support a low-carb/high fiber diet, so I wanted to share what we keep on hand.  ...

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Anyone else been getting 10x more use out of their kitchen lately? Same. Aus and I both have been working really hard this year on cleaning up our diets and trying to strike more of that "balance" they say is possible. For the most part it's been going well, but I have to admit, this quarantine situation has me craving all the delicious baked goods and junk food. Honestly, I'm not mad about it. It's this craving that led me to start experimenting with cookie recipes and you guys, I think I landed on a serious winner! ...

What I’m Making for Thanksgiving — Green Bean Casserole Recipe

What I’m Making for Thanksgiving — Green Bean Casserole Recipe

I love a good green bean casserole for Thanksgiving. Next to stuffing, it might be my favorite holiday side. Austin would disagree though -- he's more of a Mac and Cheese guy all the way. But he did say this was the best green bean casserole he ever had. He hasn't stopped talking about it since I made this recipe for Friendsgiving last week. ...

Our Starbucks Summer Drink Order

Our Starbucks Summer Drink Order

We appreciate a good cup of coffee around here and now that iced coffee season is upon us (as if it ever went anywhere), we are making more trips to our nearby Starbucks. Between Austin, Victoria and myself, one of us usually makes a coffee run two or three times a week. I'm a creature of habit and typically stick with my Iced Chai, but I love to see what everyone else orders. And if I'm feeling adventurous, I'll try something new. ...

Pink Breakfast Smoothie Recipe

Pink Breakfast Smoothie Recipe

I've been on such a smoothie kick lately. Not sure if it's a pregnancy craving or if it's my body wanting clean foods, but I drink 3 or 4 a week. And now that our kitchen is almost done, I'm jumping on every opportunity to use it. ...

My Recipe for Easy Bone Broth Soup

My Recipe for Easy Bone Broth Soup

Although Bone Broth has been around for ages, Austin and I just discovered this tasty and healthy soup while in London. And we loved it! Bone Broth is a versatile option that many chefs use as a base for soups, gravies, sauces and more. We personally like to use it as a base for soup. And after trying it in London, we came home and created a similar recipe that we hope you all enjoy as much as we do!  ...

Building the Perfect Charcuterie Board

Building the Perfect Charcuterie Board

Each year, Austin and I enjoy throwing a little holiday party with our closest friends. This year has been a bit tricky since we just moved and have zero furniture (more on that later) but we are going to try and do a small NYE party. We figured why not embrace the empty house. We will rent some chairs and tables and spend the evening ringing in the new year with our friends. ...
