Read MoreLast week I talked about Jeff's experimentation with batters when frying onions and cheese sticks. This week he decided to make keto "potstickers" since we both really miss Asian dumplings. To do this, he simply made the filling for his normal dumplings then battered and deep fried it with pork rinds. Read on to see how he did it.

Read MoreI just wanted to pop in and say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! We had another wonderful "Seattle transplants" Thanksgiving potluck with our friends.
Read MoreMy parents made the trip to Seattle to accompany me wedding dress shopping last week. I went a little overboard and scheduled six appointments at boutiques in the greater Seattle area. I guess I was scared I would have another situation like dress shopping for senior prom where I visited a zillion stores and found nothing(happy ending: I ended up falling in love with and ordering a dress Mom forced me to try on that I had seen in magazines and hated on the model).
Read MoreJeff and I met with our wonderful photographer JennyGG for an engagement photo shoot on a Tuesday afternoon in October. As is usual in Seattle, the weather couldn't figure out whether it wanted to be dreary and rainy or let a little sunshine through. We decided to play it by ear and make a last minute call if it was too gross out. We decided to go through with it and it turns out that was a great decision. Read on to hear about our experience and see some of Jenny's photos of us!
Read MoreI discovered something magical on the keto recipes section of reddit: pumpkin smoothies! I finally got around to making them this weekend and oh my were they good. If you're in a pumpkin-y mood like me, I suggest giving them a try.
