Most-Loved Recipes

NotCrocker sees an incredible amount of traffic even though I’ve not had a chance to update it in years. I have some recipes and ideas in my pocket that I will certainly get back up here one day, hopefully soon! In the meantime, I thought I’d highlight some of the most-loved recipes from the blog.

  1. Chicken Crust Pizza: Get the recipe here! And check the comments, people have tried it with almond flour, omitting the coconut flour all together, and other creative variations! I made this recipe 6 years ago and it is still a favourite for many!

  2. Jalapeño Low-Carb ‘Cornbread’: Get the recipe here! Made with almond flour, this is another low-carb favourite. Also another recipe with awesome community contributions in the comments!

  3. Crispy Fried Fish: Get the recipe here! Another low-carb fave with a breading that folks in the comments have used on chicken as well!
    FishSticks

All three of these get used time and again by NotCrocker readers and they will be the first I revisit with new photos and adjustments as I work through user suggestions!

Funnily enough, my favourites are almost all carby as heck, but maybe they are worth a quick highlight too!

I hope you find some favourites here! My goal will be to update the broken photos on the site and ideally start getting new stuff up within the year. Suggestions? Ideas? Wants and needs?

 

Surprize Tea Cookies

I still haven’t gotten around to correcting the issues with my site, so I am sorry about the smaller images crunched over to the side. I am looking at new style, and may do some testing with it tomorrow. We’ll see.

I can’t believe that we are half-way through November and well on our way to Christmas. I am really looking forward to visiting with my mom when she comes down to visit. It will be just a week but she is going to stay with us for another week in January, which will also be great. Holidays are wonderful and while I look forward to another year when our whole family can get together, having my mom stay with us will be special (sorry you have to sleep on the couch!).

Chewy Rich Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies

Oh fall bring such wonderful things. The leaves all got together and decided that yesterday was the day to start their mass-drop. As I walked home, I kicked through piles of gold and red. The scene right now from my window is autumnal perfection, a rainbow of trees from green to fiery red.

Another great thing brought about by fall, was a wonderful visit from one of my favourite people, Lauren P.! Lauren was in town for her graduation and she brought her mom! Lots of beers, smiles, and good times were had. The weather cooperated, a conspirator in our plot to woo Lauren back to the West (best) coast. Her mom felt the lure of the better half of Canada, but ultimately they hopped their plane back to Toronto yesterday afternoon.

Peanut Butter Cookies

I am certain I drove my colleagues crazy on Friday as I tirelessly watched and relayed the details of the Calgary/Southern Alberta floods. I watched as my old apartment building was surrounded, feeling relieved to know that our dear friends had finally evacuated. I saw the river waters swallow up some of my favourite areas of the city that I called home for 6 years and I thought of the incredible loss those communities are suffering. I hope that Calgary is able to recover quickly, together. I truly hope that they are able to host Stampede, in whatever form, to combat the already overwhelming loss of spirit and money resulting from this tragedy.

Chocolate Kitchen Sink Cookies

One thing I love about coming home from trips is seeing what kind of organizational innovations Gen has achieved in my absence. This trip I came back to my knives standing on-end inside a pitcher, the cutlery mixed in the holder (rather than divided), and all the pots stacked on the stove, clean but not put away. He did buy a Costco pack of new tupperware, which I am thrilled about, so that’s good! And really, the kitchen took just a few minutes to straighten out, I really kind of like my kitchen roulette.
