My first low-carb Easter - I required a replacement for my beloved hot cross buns, and here's the best experimental result thus far!
For my 24th birthday, I wanted to make a new (to me) kind of jelly cheesecake - mint! All the fruit flavours of sugar-free jelly were boring me, so I decided to experiment with peppermint oil... Worked a treat!
These muffins are a fantastic primal treat for those of us who like to use only the ingredients evolution enabled us to eat - no dairy, grains, sugar or industrially processed ingredients.
I use a small amount of cocoa in mine since I like to eat them with coconut cream and berries, so I don't need to add any sweetness to the mix itself. The muffins are almost a savoury cinnamon with a gorgeous almond aroma. Feel free to experiment with berries in the mix itself, or honey, or other sweetening / flavouring agents. Let me know what you come up with!
This pie/tart recipe is the culmination of a number of culinary experiments as I sought to design the best low-carb, sugar-free dessert to wow my relatives with at Christmas! I am very happy with this, and I hope you will enjoy it too. A VERY decadent treat for a surprisingly low amount of calories (all things considered), still avoiding the blood-sugar spikes caused by grains and refined sugars. Christmas cheer without the cramps and crankiness!
Walnuts and a touch of cinnamon dress up your everyday tuna salad. It's tastier when the walnuts are toasted, but I don't always take the time.

A delicious chocolate substitute for those of us seeking optimal health by avoiding sugar and grains! Full of healthful coconut oil and nuts.
This is a low-carb, low-calorie version of a lemon ricotta Italian Easter pie. This is a crustless "pie", but is very similar in flavor and texture (minus the crust). Whole milk ricotta is preferred for this recipe. Part-skim can be used, but the pie comes out grainier and more crumbly.

Just a shortcut for entering my favourite lunch into my tracker! I'm sure very few people in the world don't know what goes into a chicken caesar salad, but if you don't here's the list!
This is what I whipped up this morning for my sweetie. I wanted to make something low in carbs but sweet enough for him to enjoy (although he still added a splash of maple syrup to his - once a Canadian...)
Low carb italian chicken dish is tasty and satisfying with a side salad and/or hot italian vegetable mixture.
Great tasting healthy soup makes it easy to get your veggies in. Tastes even better the second day! 100 calories per serving! Even the kids will eat it!
Using beef stock from pressure cooking chuck roast night before, cooking roast and cooling and skimming broth time NOT included in prep time.
Full of protein and low in fat and carbs! Best when slow cooked all day to let the flavors steep.
Flaxmeal takes the place of bread crumbs for a lower carb version of this family favorite, and ground buffalo gives a robust flavor and a leaner meal.
The parsnips mellow out the flavor of the cauliflower, making a closer substitution for mashed potatoes.
Whenever I have left over chicken, I make Fajita's the next day for lunch. We love them.
This recipe is adapted from my regular banana bread recipe to follow a low carb/low sugar diet, such as the South Beach diet. You can replace ALL of the white sugar with Splenda if you want, but I find it leaves and odd after taste.
