Eat Simply

My blog is a collection of recipes spanning years of a variety of diets from low carb to Mediterranean and everything in-between. The bottom line is we love food of all kinds so the best "diet" for us is moderation. Period.

You will find recipes using everything from the stovetop to an Instant Pot to a crockpot.
