Is there a certain thing you eat to kick fat burning into high gear? Is there something special you eat from beginning to end your day or that will cause you to burn fat in your sleep?
Hi Keri, I will be sharing some secrets soon online however things like green tea and a little spice from chili peppers can also give you a temporary metabolic boost. And don’t forget to drink plenty of water throughout the day! Xx
Karina, in the Honey Garlic Porkchop recipe, you say to turn the oven broiler on. But you never said to put the porkchops in the oven. The recipe finishes on the stove top. Just wondering if there was anything you may have left out?
Hi Stephen, its just in step 4, add the pork chops back into the pan, baste generously with the sauce, and broil/grill for 1-2 minutes or until edges are slightly charred. Hope this makes sense, Enjoy these delicious chops! Xx
Hi Rose, Of course! Thanks so much for asking. You can definitely try substituting the sugar with a natural sweetener to make these brownies diabetic-friendly. For the best results, I’d recommend using a granular, 1:1 sugar replacement blend that is specifically designed for baking, like a monk fruit or erythritol-based sweetener.
A quick heads-up: so much of the magic in this recipe—especially the super fudgy texture and the signature crackly top—comes from the way the regular sugar melts and interacts with the hot butter and eggs. While a substitute will still give you a wonderfully rich and chocolaty brownie, the final texture might be slightly less fudgy and you may not get that same shiny, crackly crust.They will still be a delicious chocolate treat, though! I hope you absolutely love them. Let me know how they turn out! Xx
Hello Karina, I’ve been a longtime (many years) e-subscriber. If memory serves me you went MIA for long while. And now, you’ve resurfaced with a website makeover. Congratulations!!

It doesn’t surprise me. Your recipes are intriguing, exciting and flavorful. Caprese Pasta Salad (2018), Steaks with Chimichurri, & Zuppa Toscana name a few in my recipe book. Glad to have you return, and keep on thriving.
Hi Corinna, Thank you very much for your message. It’s great to be back, I will be sharing some stories about the last few years and why I was MIA, thank you for your loyal support. Xx
Hi! I want to make the cream Parmesan Brussel Sprouts with bacon recipe that I know I used in the past off your site. Do you still have that somewhere? Thanks!
You are so beautiful ❤️ and you deserve every bit of it. Of course my question is everyone’s question. How did you lose the weight? My daughter were very slim and happy. She having 60 pounds! Now she’s trying to lose it. She’s doing calorie deficit. Lost 10 so far. But I would love to know how you do it.
Hi Terry, so happy to hear that your daughter has lost 10 so far. I will be sharing my secrets on my socials soon! please follow me on instagram or tiktok for more.
Hi Karina,
Love your father’s chimichurri recipe. I make it all the time. In the recipe, it calls for red chilies. Is there a specific kind used for the recipe? I use Fresno chilies, because I can get them fresh.
Hi Pat, Using Fresno chilies is actually perfect! They’re a fantastic choice because they give you that lovely, fresh chili flavor without too much overpowering heat, and they’re easy to find. Sometimes if I don’t have fresh ones, I’ll even just use a teaspoon or two of dried red chili flakes for a little kick! Enjoy Xx
The recipe for Low Fat Chocolate Mug Cake seems to have an error in how it is written, with the amount of cocoa to be added.
Last night I made your shrimp dish with cream (the dish title escapes me), I served it over cauliflower rice. Delicious!!!

Just to say I have got rid of most of my recipe books after finding your site! My husband and I love every single one I have tried.
Thank you very much Dee for the lovely message! Glad to hear your enjoying them, look out for my new ones coming out each week! Xx
Can I substitute natural sweetener for your Fudge brownie . Diabetic can not have sugar.
Appreciate your response.
Thank you
Rosa
