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…
Skinny Chicken Enchiladas
Because Skinny Enchiladas! That’s what’s for dinner! I’ve been craving Mexican food, but after a day of eating maybe-not-so-healthy (family in town), I wanted something that would keep me on track. So Google to the rescue, and I found this lovely skinny chicken enchiladas recipe on Skinny Taste that I used as a base. I…
Asian Turkey Meatballs
So we were watching My Kitchen Rules on Hulu the other night, and one of the competing couples made Asian Turkey Meatballs. It Sounded. So. Good. So I had to make them. I figured I had a vague idea of what should go in them but wasn’t sure about ratios etc. Trusty Google came to…
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…
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,…
Cauliflower Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
My husband does keto and sometimes, he gets a craving for things that normally don’t fall in the low carb category. So what do I do? I search the internet! I found this recipe for caulflower bread and yes, it’s amazing. I filled mine with pastrami, gouda, and some spicy brown mustard instead of…
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…
