This dish was born from the deep draws of my fridge. I am usually meticulous with my meal planning as I hate to waste food and lately one trip a week is all I wan to do. I had a bunch of veggies left over and a package of frozen [...]
In these uncertain times, you may find it somewhat overwhelming to try and organize your kitchen and stock it with low carb items. Any of the trips I have made to the grocery store lately I see people stocking up on higher carb, easy to grab items such as pasta, [...]
Each week during this pandemic I am trying to make as much food as I can from scratch. For one, I have all the time in the world and second, I can control the ingredients that goes into each meal. We all know that canned soups are full of sodium [...]
Food shopping right now is a difficult experience. Shelves have been empty, people look worried and many are walking away not always getting what they need and feeling frustrated. With this in mind, I am trying to make easy low carb foods that have ingredients that are easy to get [...]
Although I'm not a vegan myself these are raw vegan and one of my son's favourite treats. They are gluten free, dairy free and almost guilt free :) These little gems are easy to make and keep fresh in an air tight container for 10-14 days. These Carob Balls make [...]
Like many vegetarians I have a bit of an issue with iron but eating leafy greens like spinach will definitely help along with the help of an iron suppliment. We all know that Popeye made himself super strong by eating spinach, but you may be surprised to learn that he [...]
We were invited to a friends house for dinner and to watch the Toronto Blue Jays team lose yet again. Boo Hoo. I had some time that afternoon so I whipped up a batch of these tasty little guys. These low carb (3g net) little bites are easy to make and [...]
I am almost as excited to share this recipe with you as I was to devour it. It was full of flavour and quite simple to make which for a week night is a win-win meal in my books. This dish is probably not what one would expect as it [...]
This dish made a wonderfully filling side dish that was very easy to make and a lovely side dish to a lovely fillet of white fish sauteed in butter and garlic. Gouda cheese dates from 1184, making it one of the oldest recorded cheeses in the world still made today. [...]
Fish is an excellent source of high protein and other nutrients. Research over the past few decades has shown that the nutrients and minerals in fish, and particularly the omega-3 fatty acids found in pelagic fishes (costal/oceanic fish), are heart-friendly and can make improvements in brain development and reproduction. Although [...]
These omelets are so easy to make and very versitile. They make a nice brunch or a light dinner. I used two frying pans to make each individual omelets but one frying pan will do as you will be popping them into a hot oven to heat up again after [...]
I know we have already discussed this but my garden never ceases to amaze me. The fruits and vegetables that I am harvesting are beautiful, full of colour and absilutely massive. The zucchinis are the size of a small baseball bat so naturally stuffed zucchini are the fist thing that [...]
I love green beans! They are wonderful raw as a snack, steamed or fancied up like this peanut buttery dish. Green beans are a bit of a little power house as far as stringy little green veggies are concerned. They are low in fat, high in potassium, low net carbs [...]
I love it when I make a meal and all I hear is "mmm, mmm, mmm, so good!" as everyone chews. This creamy dish did just that and it was extremely easy to make. Delicious and easy, can't get better than that. I have used low carb tortillas and they [...]
Salads don't always have to be complicated and when you are at a bit of a loss for something different to have for lunch raid your crisper and throw something together. You might find you love the new flavour combination. For this salad I did just that. A little this [...]
