TL;DR – trying to make a cheesecake with lower carbs and no lactose so my wife can enjoy it without destroying her health goals. I think I succeeded. It was creamy and delicious.

Honestly, I was never terribly interested in white chili with chicken in my whole life. Then I tried one last fall when my wife’s department made one for a chili cook-off at work. It was awesome, and took second place overall.
Jump to RecipeI looked at a ton of recipes and scraped ideas here and there and pieced together something I thought would be delicious. I just flat out stole the America’s Test Kitchen recipe for the dumplings. The video is here if you want to watch it.

You’re not here for the chatter. I love Forty Creek whisky, I love BBQ, I decided it was time to turn one into a sauce for the other.
Pretty straight forward and delicious.
Makes a great glaze and sauce for meatloaf.

Ground sumac adds a hint of citrus notes to this versatile sweet spice rub.
My wife loves teriyaki beef jerky. While I was busy making my sweet and hot Dr. Pepper and Jalapeno jerky I thought I’d be the super awesome husbandy-type guy I am and make some that she could enjoy as well.
So, I did my homework. I watched a PILE of videos. Read a bunch of websites. I kept hitting posts about Dr. Pepper jerky and was intrigued. Dr. Pepper and jalapenos? Sounded like a sweet heat style jerky to my brain.
I love potato chips.
There. I said it. They’ve been an eternal weakness in my life for as long as I can remember. There’s just something about that crunch.
They’re not something wildly complicated to make, but they’re cheap and easier to just buy, right? Well, yes. But it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do it at home anyway.

Sadly, I have never been to Nova Scotia.
I have never had the chance to have an authentic Halifax donair.
But I’ve made it to New Brunswick and had donairs there a few times. Greco’s does a good job, to my tastebuds at least. Nova Scotians would probably scream blasphemy at that.
Anyway, that will have to be my frame of reference until I can get a Blue Noser over to taste these. (Luckily, I have family who qualify!)
So, what the heck is a donair?

Shortbread. I don’t get the name. It’s not bread, it’s a cookie! But nomenclatures aside, they’re freakin’ delicious.
I’ve always enjoyed when Christmas rolled around and store shelves would be filled with boxes of little shortbread fingers. Probably the best thing to come out of Scotland, right after bagpipes.
It all started innocently enough. Walking past the cooler section at Costco, hoping to spot a big container of peach-mango salsa. (Spoiler: did not find it.) But there it was … Good Foods “Queso-style Dip.”
When you live in a home with the lactose-intolerant, you pay attention to any non-dairy cheese-like product.
That’s how it all started.
