Innovative Low Carb, Gluten-Free Recipes
I am in full-on cookie-baking mode. I’m all about the low carb Christmas cookie recipes right now and I don’t seem to want to make anything else. Sorry, kids, I forgot about making dinner again, I was too busy dreaming up Christmas cookie ideas. I didn’t actually develop this cardamom orange biscotti recipe for the [...]
I got an early start on my Christmas baking this year, with these low carb Chocolate Peppermint Sandwich Cookies. My rule in the past has been to wait until at least December 1st, but around these parts, that makes me The Grinch. In my town, and the surrounding vicinity, the Thanksgiving turkey hasn’t even been [...]
This recipe goes out to Eliza, who very sweetly asked me if I thought I could recreate Amish Friendship Bread in a low carb fashion. Of course, she asked me this back in September and here it is almost December and I am only just posting it. But she makes it for friends and family [...]
I approach skillet recipes that go in the oven with some trepidation, because it’s almost inevitable that someone will try to pick up the hot skillet with their bare hands. I remember in vivid detail my husband wrapping his hand around the handle of skillet I had removed from the oven only a few minutes [...]
If there is one thing I’ve learned over two and half years of being low carb, it’s that you need to be prepared. You are far more likely to slip and get off track if you don’t have a good array of tasty low carb foods around to keep you satisfied. Let’s face it, we [...]

It simply goes whole hog, full tilt into whatever the season dictates. So when it’s summer, you KNOW it’s summer…hot, muggy, sticky heat. When it’s winter, you KNOW it’s winter…cold, biting and [...]
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck, right? And if it looks like a sugar cookie and tastes like a sugar cookies, it’s a sugar cookie, right? Or not. Perhaps I shouldn’t call these sugar cookies, since they don’t have a single grain of sugar in them. False [...]
I have to tell you, baking these mini loaves was quite an unexpected adventure. Everything was going just fine when I mixed them up and put them in the oven and I had no reason to suspect that they would lead to such chaos. It was a Friday night, the kids were just getting ready [...]
It may not officially be fall, but fall is definitely in the air. I can feel it. I can smell it. I swear I can almost taste it. That’s probably because I’ve gotten a jump on making fall recipes, but really, can you blame me? It was a long, hot summer. Very long, and very, [...]
I am not putting up a recipe today – I actually have some ready to go but I decided to take a different direction this morniing. I have to be honest, posting fewer than three recipes a week makes me a little twitchy. It’s become my weekly schedule and I do feel a sense of [...]
