Well, we’ve just returned from yet another camping weekend, our 4th since the hubby convinced me I might not actually hate the great outdoors a few years back. This time, we ventured to Inks Lake State Park, just about an hour outside of Austin. And while I’ve talked about my “glamping” mindset in the past, […]
Well, we got a little off track with our posting cadence, but we’re still aboard the low-carb train here at Unintended Domesticity headquarters and this past Monday, I made one of my all-time favorite meals. You see, when I was a little girl, I had a very old nanny named Aunt Neva. Aunt Neva always […]
We continue forward on our low–carb mission, and tonight’s dinner is another riff on the hubby’s favorites. I make a version of this dish stuffed with rice and beans, similar to what I’ve written about previously in the Southwestern Stuffed Portabellas. But in order to cut the carb, this recipe takes a slightly different spin, […]
Easing the hubby into low-carb eating continues here at Unintended Domesticity HQ, and after posting yesterday’s recipe, I got a really interesting comment from a friend. She lamented that she felt like having her husband join her on a diet was “punishing him,” and so she struggled with cooking meals that met both her dietary […]
We’ve kicked off another round of “healthy eating” here at Unintended Domesticity, HQ. I’m calling it “pre-gaming” for the inevitable holiday weight gain. So, much to the hubby’s chagrin, we’ve once again cut out grains & added sugar from our diets. The hubby in particular considers a low-carb diet something akin to torture. He simply […]
Now that we’re back from Alaska, we’re back on another low-carb kick. This time around, though, I’ve created some new recipes that we’ve really enjoyed, and I’ll share them with you in the coming weeks. Tonight’s dish was peanut & sesame chicken lettuce wraps. I’ve shared a recipe for lettuce wraps before, but the chicken and […]
This post contains affiliate links. For full advertising disclosure, see our About page. As longtime MM readers may remember, I’ve now (somewhat shockingly) got multiple successful camping trips under my belt! I’m frequently asked how the hubby convinced me to “like” camping. To me, the key to this success owes a lot to the gear we bring with […]
It’s Cinco De Mayo, that day when white people appropriate Hispanic culture without any knowledge of the day’s historical background at all, but, hey, margaritas, amirite?! We’re back on a low carb kick here in the Unintended Domesticity household, so for me, any celebratory margaritas have to be of the skinny variety. Luckily, I’ve spent […]
This month, the Hubby and I are participating in a “Dry January” in which we gave up all alcoholic drinks as a reset of our own drinking behavior. Dry January started originally as a trend in the UK, and has since gained popularity around the world. However, after a few days of not drinking, we […]
As we often tend to go on low-carb kicks around these parts, I’ve come to know that you often find sugar hiding in some pretty unexpected places…everything from beans to tomato sauce to salad dressings often include the added white stuff. But my personal pet peeve for hidden added sugar? Chicken broth. Go ahead and […]
