I made a soup that called for 1/2 cans of kidney, pinto, and garbanzo beans. What to do with the rest of the beans? I threw together a rather tasty bean salad. Not to sour, not too sweet!
This is a fun recipe to try when you want to experiment. We use it for Chinese night in our house and everyone makes their own dish, like pot-luck. This should make four big rolls and about 40 or so pieces.
For this recipe, I assumed that we would end up with 40 pieces, and each serving is 5 pieces, for a pretty filling 2 carb exchanges.
A yummy crepe-like pancake recipe passed down to me by my Omi (Oma is grandmother in German). They are to be made thin, and the size of a large frying pan. Fry with butter and serve with apple sauce or syrup.
This recipe can easily be adapted to include a variety of "stuffings". I used sour cream and parmesan, but goat cheese and ricotta would also be delicious.
Shown in picture: flowers, porkloin (with teryaki sauce) and mixed field greens with strawberries, sunflower seeds, bacon bits, and honey mustard dressing.
Great, flavorful condiment! Needs an additional 10 minutes "rest" in its storage jar when cooking is done.
A healthy way to start your morning; you can easily substitute the flour for oatmeal flour.
Great for breakfast or dinner. You choose the filling. Can be made ahead of time. May be frozen for use next month. Place a piece of wax paper between each crepe and place in freezer bag.
Yummy in my tummy! Here are some pancakes you don't need to feel guilty about! So good, you won't even need syrup!!! (but a little bit won't hurt LOL)
This is my grandma's original homemade Pico de Gallo recipe! This is a real family favorite at my house. It's super-fast and easy to make and the result is absolutely delicious!
A traditional Mexican salsa, Pico de Gallo is naturally low carb and low fat. This is a super healthy recipe!
This is also a vegetarian and vegan food. So, if you are vegetarian or vegan (or just looking for a super healthy snack full of veggies) this is a recipe you MUST try!
Serve with chips if you plan on using it as a salsa, or eat it plain if you love it as much as I do! ENJOY!

I wanted a salty/savory no wheat bread, I found this recipe online but I made some alterations sucks as using coconut oil instead of vegetable oil and agave instead of sugar.

Good broccoli slaw - a low carb alternative to potato or macaroni salad for a cookout.
This is a little spicy and the orignal recipe from allrecipes.com calls for peanuts to be added, but I left them out to reduce the calories.
Cook the bell pepper, garlic and onion until it's soft ~ about 10 minutes (If you want, puree the cooked bell pepper mixture to use as a thickener)
In a slow cooker, over lowest setting, add cooked pepper mixture then stir all ingredients together and let cook about 2 hours. Cool completely, and refrigerate overnight to blend flavors before using. Store in fridge!
To fix the too vinegary taste – I added 6 baby carrots, a small can V8 juice plus water, a packet of travel flax, and some xanthan gum and then cooked it for another hour or so on the lowest setting.
Next time, I will completely omit mustard (add in some turmeric to taste) and
