Innovative Low Carb, Gluten-Free Recipes
A tender, sweet low carb coffee cake filled with cinnamon and drizzled with cream cheese glaze. Sometimes I take a bit of one of my creations and I think to myself “I am really good at what I do”. That isn’t quite as self-aggrandizing as it may seem. Really, I am often just somewhat amazed [...]
As a parent of small, impressionable children, I am always fighting against the tide of fast food commercials, with their bright amusing images and catchy jingles. Everyone is always having a good time, it seems, when they are chowing down on trans-fat french fries and guzzling sugar sodas. These coconut crusted mahi mahi nuggets are [...]
A delicious frozen Greek yogurt tart with all the flavours of a classic margarita. Just in time for Cinco de Mayo! I am something of a Greek yogurt junkie. I keep it around the house at all times and I feel lost if there isn’t any in the fridge. I used in baking, I eat [...]
Crumbly sweet bars filled with low carb salted caramel and dark chocolate chunks. Try to eat just one! I might be slightly obsessed with making the perfect low carb caramel sauce. Actually, “slightly” doesn’t even begin to describe the depth of my obsession. I have been working at this for a while now, and I’ve [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
Rich stout caramel sauce, drizzled over dark chocolate bundt cake. Low carb and sugar-free. Apparently I have the luck of the Irish, at least when it comes to Kerrygold butter. As part of their Blogger Network, I won a drawing a few months ago for some butter and was delighted when it appeared on my [...]
Mug cake might just be the best invention ever, especially when it’s low carb and gluten free, and bursting with Meyer Lemon flavour. Forget the wheel, forget modern medicine, forget the internet. Mug cake has it all over those history-changing, life-saving inventions. Because let’s face it…it’s cake, it tastes good, and it takes all of about [...]
Creamy, low carb vanilla cheesecake on a rich brownie crust. How can you go wrong with two desserts in one? I used to joke to my husband that America’s Test Kitchen should put out a cookbook titled “12 Tablespoons of Butter”. We have several of their cookbooks and we also get Cook’s Illustrated, and I’ve [...]
