This is my mother's apple cake recipe that I've made my own. I now make it for her to treat her like royalty (it resembles a crown)! The added applesauce not only enhances the apple flavour, but also makes it very moist. The almond flour gives it some weight and character. This is one of my favourite cakes. Thanks, Queen Mum! ;)

Looking for a super easy, super yummy side dish for dinner? These hardly take any more time to prepare than instant mashed potatoes, but they are much better! So savory and delicious.

Looking for a simple, delicious lunch or dinner? Well, here it is! For those of you who like spicy food, your family will love this. Or, if some of you don't, then you can switch out the medium enchilada sauce, for mild.

Sometimes I get a hankering for pancakes but I am carb restricted (and somewhat lazy, ha). I'm definitely way too cheap to buy those pre-made store brand pancakes in the freezer section, so, over the weekend, I made pancakes for the family, including extras. I let them cool and froze them, placing them into a large resealable plastic bag.

Aquafaba is the fancy name for the juice, or brine, to come out of a jar of beans. You know, the stuff that everyone throws away. But someone discovered it can be whipped and has the same consistency of egg whites! Which means all sorts of desserts can be created with it, including meringue cookies.
