Sugar-Free Coconut Macaroons

Coconut macaroons are very easy to make. They have only four ingredients, mix up easily, and require only 15 minutes to cook. The only trick, especially when not using sugar (which attracts moisture) is keeping them from being too dry. Here's how I do it.

Cauliflower "Potato" Salad

I made quite a few versions before coming up with a cauliflower salad that really is a lot like potato salad, but low-carb.

Yummy and different pumpkin soup with New World ingredients (mainly Mexican in origin). Can used canned or fresh pumpkin.

This is a vegetable soup with an array of colorful veggies in it, packed with nutrition. You can add chicken or turkey for a full meal. It never fails to get great comments when I bring it to a potluck.
