Innovative Low Carb, Gluten-Free Recipes
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 [...]
I recently had the rather brilliant idea of doing a big low carb baking primer to answer the myriad questions I get on my blog, social media and by email. I thought it would be so smart to do one big post that answered all of your questions in one go. Alas, when I posted [...]
Low Carb Cheddar Jalapeno CrackersDelicious, crisp almond flour and flax seed crackers with cheese and jalapeno baked right in. Might be the perfect snack! I had intended to post these homemade Cheddar Jalapeno Crackers yesterday, but I decided to hold off for a day to help out a friend. It might seem strange that a [...]
Feeling guilty is rather stereotypically considered to be the birthright of both Catholics and Jews, but I’d say it’s a non-exclusive birthright. I grew up in a household with no particular religious leanings, although if pressed we probably would have considered ourselves Protestants in the manner of the United Church of Canada.

CCA8525SGNFG <—- Ignore this little bit of code, please. It’s there so I can prove to an aggregation site that I own this blog! Moving on… What do you think of when you think of lemon poppy seed muffins, or any poppyseed recipe really? I can’t help it, I instantly think of the episode of [...]
This low carb panini bread recipe was not actually supposed to be my post today. I have a series of other recipes I intended to post first, and this was slated for a few weeks hence. But after receiving two reader messages last week asking for a low carb bread recipe, I knew I needed [...]
I will not lie to you; this Ham and Cheese Roll recipe was a disaster from start to finish. Seriously, just issue after issue that culminated in a squished, crumbly final product, a burnt hand, and a serious amount of frustration on my part. But after a few hours, I gained a little perspective and [...]
One of the advantages of aging is that the older I get, the less I worry about making an ass of myself. That self-consciousness, that concern over what other people are going to think, seems to diminish with each passing year. I see it as an advantage because it means I am far more comfortable [...]
And the Christmas Cookie baking continues, this time with Low Carb Butter Cookies, chock full of sugar-free dried cranberries and sugar-free crystallized ginger. Last year around this time, I started seeing all of these references to The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap, on Twitter, Facebook and all over the blogs I love to read. I [...]
