Low Carb Recipes
Siracha + Sesame Zoodle Salad
I have to admit in all honesty that the sound and idea of making “noodles” with anything other than good old fashioned pasta (even gluten free pasta!) I was unsure about at first.

How to Roast a Turkey
Before we get to the actual cooking of the bird, I have to tell you about my great turkey fail of 1995. I was in my early 20’s and had yet to try my hand at making the whole Thanksgiving dinner on my own. But this year, I had read my latest issue…
Low carb slow cooker pizza

Big Mac in a bowl-low carb recipes
I have had great success in the past not only with weight loss but increasing my energy and stamina by following a low carb, sugar-free diet. I know, I love me my sugar, but it’s not loving me so much anymore. So without boring you with the details, I was about one batch of scones…
