All good things must come to an end, and my adventure with blogging is no different. But before you you scream “WHAT!?” at your computer or phone screen, read a little more about what exactly is going to happen and what that means for TwoSleevers and WouldIBuyThis.

I couldn’t be more proud of that list of accomplishments if I tried. And none of those things would have been possible without you all.
Even by my busy standards, that’s quite a list of things to accomplish in just a few short years. So, I’ve decided that it’s time for me to take a break.
Why I’m Stepping Away From Blogging
The last few years have been incredibly rewarding as I have been able to learn so many new things, make countless new friends, share my love for food, and watch you all transform your health for the better.
As I was reflecting back on everything that has changed in my life with the small “break” from normalcy 2020 threw my way, I realized how busy I truly had been.
Normally I thrive in the chaos and urgency that comes with wearing multiple hats and I have no doubt that I still can. However, this year has changed my perception of things.
The nights of making dinner for my family while taking conference calls, flying thousands of miles a day just to meet with a client, shoot photos for a cookbook, and race to get my kids to school before my next business meeting are all fond memories, but it’s time to settle down a bit.
The times that most of the world is settling in to watch tv, read a book, make dinner, go on vacation, or enjoy a holiday have turned into the times that I want to be available the most for the TwoSleevers community.
As much as I would love to respond to every comment and tag on social media and email that comes my way, it leaves me with little downtime. The time that I need right now to recharge.
I realized that it’s time to slow down and enjoy the small things. Spend more time with my children. Watch tv with Roger. Snuggle with Gracie. They deserve to have my full attention at this point in my life and I simply can’t continue to live the same lifestyle I was before and give them the time I want to give them.
I think many of you know I struggle with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was also recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and I need to slow down, and deal with the constant pain I’m creating in my own body, but not taking care of it as I should.
What Will Be The Same?
You may be asking yourself “If you’re not going to be blogging anymore, what is going to happen to the blog and all of the recipes?”
Well, rest assured that everything you currently know and love will still be here (except for me). The blogs Twosleevers.com and WouldIBuyThis.com will still be active and there will still be a team doing their best to provide the quality content you’re used to seeing on both sites. Here are a few other things that will stay the same with the transition as well:
- Keto Facebook Group
- Instant Pot and Air Fryer Facebook Group
- Animal Crossing Group
- TwoSleevers Culinary Tour Group and culinary trips that I will continue to organize and enjoy with you
- Facebook Pages
- Instagram for Twosleevers
- Instagram for WIBT
- TikTok for Twosleevers
- YouTube
- Twosleevers Pinterest
- WIBT Pinterest
What Will Be Different?
Well, we’ll start off with the obvious. I won’t be around anymore on a full-time basis. Well, you may still see me popping in to say “hello” from time to time in the Facebook groups, and I will continue to help out as a moderator for now.
But as far as making new recipes, answering all of your questions, and being the overall face of TwoSleevers, I’ll be missing.
I may still contribute recipes from time to time, and you’ll know they are mine because they will have my name on them!
I’m leaving behind a wonderful team of moderators to be active in the groups and keep them running just as smoothly as they currently do.
There is a team of moderators that you will be able to tag in the Facebook groups and ask any questions regarding recipes, how to use your Air Fryer or questions about your Instant Pot. I promise they’re all very knowledgeable and will give you the best advice possible.
Once again, I would love to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for making the last few years, and this online journey a reality. When I first started the blog it was only a hobby and it became so much more.
With Twosleevers, it was never just about the recipes, was it? It was about better health, learning about new cultures, laughing together, taking care of each other–forming a community. And that community is still alive and well.
Thank you for trusting me to help feed your families, give you advice on changing your eating habits, and welcoming me into your lives through our new friendships. Namaste to all of you, from Roger and me (and Gracie).

Savory, keto cauliflower chaffles are fast, easy, and great for making keto sandwiches. No need to precook the cauliflower, just add everything in a food processor, mix, and cook within 15 minutes!
Why You Should Try These Cauliflower Chaffles
- Fast. Ready in under 30 minutes . These only take about 15 minutes.
- Easy. Mix the ingredients together and cook in your Dash Waffle Maker .
- Low Carb . Only 5 net carbs per serving.
- Vegetarian . A great addition to any Vegetarian lunch or snack.
What Is A Cauliflower Chaffle?
- Keto . Out of all the things cauliflower has become, a chaffle may well be my favorite! A chaffle is a Keto or low carb way to enjoy waffle-like foods without all the carbs of a normal waffle.
- Chaffle . In short, a chaffle is just a blending of the words cheese and waffle .
- Cauliflower. A cauliflower chaffle is a delicious version of that using cauliflower to make a savory chaffle that’s great by itself, or for a ton of other uses!
Why Is This Chaffle Savory?
I know when most of us think about waffles, we think about a sweet version smothered in butter and syrup. Savory chaffles are actually very common! People have used savory chaffles made in the Mini Dash Waffle Maker as sandwich bread , burger buns, snacks and more!
What Kind Of Waffle Maker Is Best For Chaffles?
I use the Mini Dash Waffle Maker , as it’s the perfect size for using chaffles as bread or buns etc. If you want to use a full size, I recommend this Cuisinart . Belgian-style waffle makers do not work well.
Watch the Video on How to Make Keto Cauliflower Chaffles
How Do You Make Cauliflower Chaffles?
- Add the ingredients to the blender and blend.
- Sprinkle parmesan onto your waffle maker.
- Add the cauliflower mixture to the waffle maker.
- Add more cheese on top.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until crispy.
TIPS AND TRICKS FOR HOW TO MAKE THE BEST CAULIFLOWER CHAFFLES EVER
- Patience . That’s the best tip. They don’t take very long but if you want a crisp keto waffle, you are just going to have to be a little patient and let it take the 5-7 minutes that it takes to crisp up. Just when you think it’s done? Give it another minute or two. Don’t rush.
- Layering . Don’t skimp on the cheese on the top and bottom. Use more than the recipe calls for if you think you need it. It’s the crispy cheese on the bottom and top that will make them crispy.
- Shallow waffles. If you want crispy waffles, the shallower the waffle iron, the easier/faster it is to crisp up the chaffle.
- No overfilling. Overfilled chaffle makers…well, they overflow of course. Which makes a huge mess! So if in doubt, underfill rather than overfill. No more than 1/4 cup of TOTAL ingredients at a time.
- No peeking . I can tell you from LOTS of personal experience, that opening the waffle iron every 30 seconds “just to check” doesn’t help the chaffle cook any faster. Your best bet is to not even open it for 4-5 minutes.
- No steaming. if you’re using the Dash mini , the little blue light goes out when it’s mostly cooked, but most importantly, the chaffle stops steaming quite so much. That’s a good sign that it’s done.
- Get hot. Wait until the waffle iron is hot before you add ingredients, and they’re a lot less likely to stick, and a lot easier to clean up.
- Mat it. Okay so about that overflow. I do find that it happens to me more often than I would like! One thing that has made cleanup easier for me has been to put a silicone trivet underneath.
- Crispy Cooling. Allow the chaffles to cool before eating. They get crisper as they cool, so try not to stuff the hot chaffle into your mouth right away.
- Make lots . Make enough to share, everyone will want them, no matter whether they’re keto or not.
