Keto Craig’s Campaign Continues
The journey to 236 is on the way… My keto journey started on November 4, 2021. I remember the date clearly because I had gone on a carb binge the week before, wanting one last taste of those things I love before giving them… Continue Reading “Keto Craig’s Campaign Continues”
Craig’s Kitchen: Chicken Enchilada Casserole
Quick, simple, and easy to make in about an hour! Too many recipes SAY that’s the case, but this one really is. It’s also more like assembling a robot than actual cooking. You’ll see what I mean. This tasty dish is simple but delicious… Continue Reading “Craig’s Kitchen: Chicken Enchilada Casserole”
Craig’s Kitchen: Chocolate Chip Pan Cookies
The smell of these alone will make your saliva glands start to flow! The rich, chocolate goodness melts in your mouth. The brown sugar batter dances around on the tip of your tongue.

I had to look it up because I wondered where… Continue Reading “Craig’s Kitchen: Mom’s Tagliarini Casserole”
Craig’s Kitchen: Mochiko Chicken (Japanese Chicken Nuggets)

Craig’s Kitchen: Seven-Layer Dip
Seven layers of yummy goodness. I love a good dip. Mom’s classic French Onion Dip made with sour cream and some old-fashioned Lipton’s Onion Soup Mix was always a staple. Something about that combination of savory onion flavor with cool, smooth sour cream on… Continue Reading “Craig’s Kitchen: Seven-Layer Dip”
