Creamy Cabbage and Sausage

Published on October 23, 2023October 17, 2025 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog11 Comments

This dish is so unbelievably good and it’s easy and quick to make as well. I made it in the crockpot but it could come together quickly in a skillet as well. I had originally had Kielbasa and potatoes on my menu but I wanted to change it to something that Mr. Awesome and I could eat on our ‘diet’… this was the perfect dish to replace our old favorite!

I didn’t get any pictures as it just didn’t last long enough to take pictures. We ate this with a pot of ‘Get Methylating Soup‘ (lentils), riced cauliflower, and some fresh-picked Rosella greens… yum! I think the next time I might make some veggies other than the soup though. Fried potatoes and macaroni-n-cheese go really well with this dish.

Hubby Approved Surprise Salted Caramel Cupcakes

Published on October 15, 2023November 29, 2023 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog17 Comments

I’ve made this recipe several times now, the first time being at Sweet Shyanne’s 2nd birthday party, and people have not stopped talking about them!

Mr. Awesome has jumped on the keto/THM bandwagon and has been asking for these again and again… the kids beg for them as well so I guess I just need to start making a double batch of them. The first time I saw these cupcakes mentioned was in the Trim Healthy Table cookbook and I thought some silly thoughts about the ‘surprise’ ingredient but I’m so glad I decided to give them a try and I think you will be too!

Quick and Easy Life Skills Summer Camp (At Home)

Published on June 11, 2023August 12, 2023 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

This time of year gets crazy around here, and sometimes I feel like I can’t sign up for one. more. thing! I did however just sign up for these workshops. I can fit them into our school schedule, as we are schooling year-round, to help keep things fun and interesting.

I’m all about the quick and easy. I also think that it might come in handy to have the kids be a little more independent around the house as I am scheduled to be out of commission for a bit toward the end of summer… more on that later.

That’s why I’m loving these 3 video workshops from #LifeSkillsNow summer camp.

They’re available right NOW!
I don’t have to wait for anything on my calendar
They’re super short, about 10 minutes each
I don’t have to go anywhere!
Kids ages 5-18 are ALL covered! (When is the last time you saw something online that was a good fit for teens??)

Eggs, Milk, and Coffee (Update pics!)

Published on May 11, 2023August 12, 2023 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog1 Comment

What do eggs, milk, and coffee have in common? Well, they can all be used for a variety of things and we often have them on our grocery list but right now they are also on my morning chores list. (Hopefully, 2 of the 3 will soon be off the grocery list.)

Banana-less Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

You’ve heard of milk-less and egg-less recipes, right? Well, this one is nothing like those but I’m sure you could make this one pretty easy.

You need to make sure you didn’t get a good sleep the night before and don’t drink your coffee before you get started… let it sit and get cold on the counter.
