Protein Pancakes
These pancakes are a huge favorite with our son. You can make them either as pancakes or waffles. I make them dollar-sized and he just gobbles them up almost straight from the pan/griddle. Ingredients 6 eggs 1 cup cottage cheese (I use 6% milk fat when I can find it) 1 cup oats 2 tsp…
Low Carb Beef Stroganoff Meatballs
This recipe was almost perfect as is. The only things I changed was that I used tapioca starch instead of xantham gum and I used a leaner beef because that is what I had on hand. I am not a fan of the sliminess of xantham gum so I trade off a higher carb count…
Low Carb Fish Tacos
This dish is a mishmash of several recipes, including my own spice mix for the fish. I made this with 2 lbs of cod but that was NOT enough. Next time I will aim for making 4 lbs as it was highly popular and we ran out much too quickly. I don’t measure the spices…
Thai-Inspired Lettuce Wraps
I wanted to make something that would be really easy, quick, and would fit my macros on either a rest day or a lifting day. And filling. I get so hungry in the evenings, that I need something that’s going to fill my belly and sate my hunger while still allowing me to stay on…
Roasted Rosemary and Thyme Sweet Potatoes
So I needed something to take to a BBQ that wouldn’t cause me to totally go off my “diet.” Initially I wanted to bake summery cupcakes (because really, who doesn’t like cupcakes) but I knew that would lead to WAY too much temptation. Thus I opted to make something savory instead. Since the Comfort of…
Herb and Citrus Roasted Chicken
I came across this recipe when looking for the Italian Pasta Salad and it looked sooooo good that I just had to try it. This recipe is also from The Comfort of Cooking. While I made my husband’s with the bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (as the original recipe calls for) but made mine with boneless,…
Italian Pasta Salad
We do a lot of potlucks at work, which is ironic because my section caters to the Department of Health. And let me tell you, while our food is scrumptious, it’s usually anything BUT healthy! Which is just fine by me, because I like to take these opportunities to bake treats and get them the…
Healthy Eggplant Parmesan
Recently I bailed my father-in-law out of trouble when he forgot that we were supposed to go to this fancy, Italian restaurant for dinner on Mother’s Day and he managed to double book himself. I offered to cook for the family instead, so he could do both things, and to also help my mother-in-law stay…
