Cool & Creamy Cole Slaw

Many times upon hearing that we stick to a low-carb way of eating, people will remark about how difficult that must be and/or that we must eat a lot of specialty things. Well, truth is our diet is pretty ordinary. If you were a guest in our home you may not even know -- we often feed guests low-carb (even desserts) and they don't know it, lol. Many recipes are perfectly low-carb with some minor tweaking -- especially what I call *Old-Timey* salad recipes -- this Cool & Creamy Cole Slaw is just one of those!

Garden Scramble

We are at the point that everyday we are taking a stroll thru the garden and harvesting what is ready. Our onions are all in and daily we are picking zucchini and tomatoes -- and other goodies are not far off. That means planning meals around what is on hand.

Low-Carb Zucchini Muffins

The garden is in full swing -- we are harvesting tomatoes for table use daily (a couple more weeks before canning and salsa production levels) and zucchini -- LOTS of zucchini. Before I became a low-carb zealot my favorite things to do with the over-abundance of garden zukes was muffins and breads.

Individual Dark Chocolate Brownie Cakes (and Ice Cream)

With a title like that, it is hard to imagine this is a low-carb post......

BUT it is!!

Mexican Meatloaf

If there is anyone still out there reading -- THANK-YOU!! I have had some computer difficulties and some changes recently. The last few years have been years of change for me....change continues. I have relocated 2 hours (and a new state) away. Change can be good and this one is GREAT. More to come.

Recently a friend told me about a new favorite for her family -- Mexican Meatloaf.

Italian Meatball Bake w/Zoodles

Italian Food isn't usually what you think of when you *think* low-carb BUT there are many pasta-less options. One of my favorites is Zoodles -- julienne cut zucchini -- very pasta like in consistency and very flavorful. A fantastic side to this Italian Meatball Bake recipe!!
