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…

Skinny Chicken Fajitas

Last week I was craving Mexican food so badly again.  I almost caved, but I somehow managed to stay on track.  It was a pivotal moment in my recent “diet” history as I’ve been having a hard time once the going gets tough.  Then I sorta go into F-it mode and find every excuse in…

Pumpkin Spice Pronuts

It’s all things pumpkin spice season!  I’m most definitely one of those white girls who goes hog wild for pumpkin spice.  That and salted caramel are my kryptonite.  So when I saw this recipe for Pumpkin Spice Pronuts, I was super happy! They came out nice and fluffy and are a great treat that won’t…

Pumpkin Spice Casein Cookies

Cookies.  Because who doesn’t like cookies, right?  And these have the added benefit of keeping your muscles from deteriorating overnight thanks to the casein.  Because drinking casein is gross and I can’t stomach it. I got the recipe from the Facebook page for the Renaissance Periodization group.  It’s super simple to make and even my…

Low Carb Ruben Sandwich

I recently went back to doing a spell of low carb and of course, one of the first things that I always miss is bread.  I love bread.  Especially bread fried in butter and with cheese.  So when I stumbled across this recipe, I just had to try it.  It was wonderful!  The bread is…
