We love breakfast for dinner in our house and this one was an instant hit. It was different from the usual eggs and bacon and I paired it with rutabaga home fries. Rutabagas are lower in calories and carbs than potatoes and contain more calcium. These tostadas are wrapped up [...]
I didn't grown Arugula in my garden this year and I have to admit I regret that. All parts of the plant are edible including the seeds, pods and flowers. Next year Arugula will be a must have! Many of our meals just lately have included Arugula either in the [...]
Our family LOVES tacos but the tortilla wraps are very high in carbs and fat. To avoid a family mutiny I served regular tacos and cheese to the family but made myself these lovely fresh and low carb tacos. They took no extra time to prepare but I did have [...]
Low carb taco Tuesday. How you ask? Omit the taco shells place the middles in a bowl and you have a fantastic taco salad without all the carbs. I love chili seasoning and chili powder is actually a fairly healthy seasoning, with significant amounts of several beneficial nutrients such as [...]
I chose to use the high protein pitas instead of traditional Tostadas as they are less than half the carbs, considering beans tend to be higher in carbs. Even though beans are higher in carbs than meat they are much lower in fat, zero cholesterol, high in fibre and rich [...]
Three out of four people in the house love mushrooms so I make them frequently in different forms. This hearty veggie dish is very filling and even though there is no meat you will still need a sharp knife to get into it. The original recipe had Tempeh instead of [...]
You are probably looking at this recipe and wondering why anyone would want to cook something that is bitter. Well stay with me for a second and give this funny little veg a second chance. It is a tropical and subtropical vine of the family Cucurbitaceae, widely grown in Asia, [...]
A few summers ago we took the family to New York City. It is such a vibrant and exciting city and I highly recommend that if you have the chance you need to go. We ended up staying in a great little studio apartment in the centre of Brooklyn which [...]
I adore Indian food with the deep hues, intense flavours and the tantalizing aromas. I think my apron is permanently stained with turmeric and curry. Oh, and as a side note, if you sprinkle a little turmeric on your toothbrush during your morning clean it is great for whitening your [...]
I love breakfast and I also love breakfast for dinner. This Frittata is a nice twist on a boring omelet and instead of regular breakfast I used salmon sausage. I found the salmon sausage at my local grocery store but it you are unable to find them breakfast sausage, Italian [...]
We used to live in the Beaches many moons ago and one of the local pubs (now long gone) used to serve a delicious breakfast of sausage hash, eggs and hash browns. For years I have been making the same dish not quite the same but delicious none the less. [...]
This is a great sandwich with a twist! A blend of cottage cheese and salmon make it a high protein and high calcium lunch. Substitute the whole grain bread for a Mr. Pita-High Protein Pita to bring the carbs down even more. If you prefer substitute the canned salmon for [...]
It seems that the Winter of 2013/14 is relentless with its frigid temperatures and never ending snow. This light soup is perfect to warm you after a long cold day. With more protein than carbs an zero Weight Watchers points this can be your everyday go to lunch when the [...]
Traditional pizza dough is so full of carbs that it could make your blood sugar spike just looking at it! (well not really but you know what I mean) Consider this recipe for a yummy crust and pizza alternative, high in protein and low in fat, a blank canvas of [...]
This extreamly low carb meal packs a protein punch! I used Pita Gourmet - High Protein pitas with only 10 g carbs in one pita. The flavour is fresh with a little kick. If you are not a huge fan of cilantro try substituting it for dill. Dill helps protects [...]
