I’m back on low-carb and already seeing results on the scale, but let's be real - giving up bread is tough! 😖That's why I'm thrilled to share my latest kitchen experiment: a delicious and nutritious flax loaf that's low in carbs and high in fiber.

This loaf has just 1g of carbs and a whopping 14g of fiber per slice and it’s made with all-natural ingredients and is super easy to make. It’s healthy, vegan, unprocessed and packed with omega 3’s!

Stay tuned for the recipe in my new cookbook. If you haven’t already, comment if you want to be notified about the cookbook release - or if you just want to say hi! 👋

From the bottom of my heart 🩷🤍🩶 thank you for a Sold Out Show for the second time in 3 months.
I’m so grateful and humbled - and couldn’t have done it without the support of all of you in my FB Art family and the AHHA team - Sandra Lett Trumpfheller , Susan Card, Tanya Mundt, Kimberly Deene Herring Langlois, Traci Johnston .
I was literally blocked from responding to most comments by FB yesterday, and even Messenger during the show. Without the support and love of you all, this would not have been possible!! Many blessings.

If you missed the show and would like me to paint you something - contact me, I am open briefly for commissions.

Miso Mustard Maple Sweet Potatoes
(Or in this case, carrots)

Ingredients

•2 1/4 pounds (1kg) sweet potatoes, cut into 2-inch pieces (about 7 cups)
•1 stick butter
•1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 1 heaping tbsp whole grain mustard
•1/4 cup white miso
•2 tsp white wine vinegar
•Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions
• Preheat oven to 375°F Arrange sweet potatoes in a single layer in a 9- by 13-inch glass baking dish.��In a small saucepan, combine butter, maple syrup, mustard, and miso and cook over medium heat, stirring, until butter is melted and sauce is smooth. remove from heat. ��Pour miso butter over sweet potatoes and toss to coat. Season with some salt and pepper. (Be careful with the salt, as the miso will already be salty)��Bake potatoes, stirring at least 3-4 times, until glazed with sticky golden brown miso sauce and they are tender when pierced with a knife, about 40-50 minutes.

Serve immediately. (To brown the potatoes more deeply, set them under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes; watch them closely to make sure they do not burn.)

Get tired of your apple pies being runny or dry? As a chef, this is my method::

I par-bake the bottom crust with pie weights and pre-cook the filling. Then I fill the parbaked crust with the mixture you see below, add the top crust, brush with egg wash, and bake on 400 , bottom shelf of the oven just until the top is golden brown - about 35 minutes or so.
Perfect every time with zero soggy bottoms or disappointment!!

Homemade Oyster Crackers like OTC? OTC went out of business and there are simply no other commercially made crackers like them. My client asked me to try my hand, so after a ton of research and 4 hours later.... these were ready to bake!
