Innovative Low Carb, Gluten-Free Recipes
Creamy, rich coffee panna cotta made with Greek yogurt and drizzled with raspberry coulis. Low carb and gluten-free. There is no use trying to hide it, I am a dessert fanatic. Strangely, I find this to be more true ever since I discovered I was pre-diabetic and went low carb. Because prior to this time, [...]
Rich dark chocolate frosting sandwiched between two soft, tender peanut butter cookies. Low carb, gluten-free and grain-free. I am something of a chocolate snob and I always have been, especially when it comes to commercial chocolate bars. Having grown up in Canada, I have always viewed Cadbury’s chocolate as far superior to brands found south [...]
A delicious low carb cocktail with sugar-free homemade Kahlua, vanilla vodka and cream. Great as an aperitif but rich enough to be dessert. Confession time. The pictures of this recipe are faked. Totally faked. Yep, I am a faker, and I know it. And now you know it too. The truth is that I almost [...]
A sweet low carb quick bread swirled with orange and chocolate, and with a chocolate drizzle. A perfect breakfast or tea-time treat. Consider the phrase “falling down on the job”. I don’t know about you, but when I hear it, I think of someone intoxicated at their workplace, quite literally falling down (drunk) on the [...]
Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs, a favourite in every Easter basket, made over to be low carb and gluten-free. I’m sorry, it’s impossible. I simply cannot believe it, I refuse to believe it. They say that it’s almost Easter, but it can’t be. It’s just barely the New Year, isn’t it? I haven’t even gotten used [...]
A healthier, gluten-free version of pigs in the blanket, a family favourite of ours. Kids love them and they make great finger food for game day. March Madness, anyone??? March Madness is something of a foreign concept to me, even after 15 years of living in the US. I believe it was in my [...]
Low carb, sugar-free ice cream made with low carb dulce de leche and studded with salty roasted pecans. I’ve been holding out on you. From the very name of this recipe I am sure you can gather that it was truly delicious and since I made it over a month ago, I really ought to [...]
Crispy baked chicken wings marinated in coconut milk and brushed with spicy hot homemade Thai curry paste. The perfect appetizer or entree. I am of the firm belief that chicken wings should be a food group all on their own. Done well, they are heavenly and can provide all the nutrition you need. Protein, fat, [...]
Creamy peanut butter filling becomes a rich frozen treat in these low carb peanut butter pies. A chocolate crust made with coconut oil holds it all together. Chocolate peanut butter pie. You really can’t go wrong, can you? Apparently I think so anyway, since I’ve made a similar recipe before, my Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse [...]
You know when you are a little kid and excited for your birthday or Christmas, and all the adults tells you that giving is better than receiving? You look at them in disbelief and think “yeah, right, bring on my presents please!”. Then you get a little older and you see a little glimmer of [...]
