My mother's classic giblet gravy recipe has been a family-favorite addition to every Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner for over 50 years. The giblets add a rich, meaty flavor and chopped hard-boiled eggs and cornstarch help to thicken it up. We love it on mashed potatoes, cornbread dressing, and turkey.

Smitty's Low-Carb Chili
Finding variety can be brutal when on a low-carb diet! I miss rich stews and soups, particularly hearty and spicy ones, while trying to remain in ketosis. Threw this chili together out of some leftover pork loin and cauliflower rice, and was thrilled with the result. The cauliflower is for texture only - it has little effect on the taste.
Butternut Squash Cajun Fries
You'll love this recipe for butternut squash Cajun fries. They're a yummy, salty, spicy, slightly sweet alternative to deep-fried French fries. Serve them with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.
Drunken Berries
Beautiful summer dessert using fresh berries and a splash of pear liqueur. Enjoy a la carte or a la mode. Exceptionally lovely on the Fourth of July. Serve berries by themselves or over vanilla gelato, with a small amount of excess liquid - but it should not be a berry soup.
