Spaghetti Squash w/Caramelized Onions and Browned Butter

Happy December!! I have been a little obsessed with caramelized onions lately -- Caramelized onions are a magical substance -- seriously, they can turn any dish into a feast! This dish contains 2 kinds of magic -- Caramelized Onions AND Browned Butter!

Spinach Artichoke Chicken

You know that appetizer served at the big apple chain restaurant that is served with tortilla chips? Oh, man I LOVE that stuff!!

Blueberry-Cream Cheese Crumb Cake

While never a huge fan of cake, coffee cakes are another matter altogether. Coffee cake is served on leisurely mornings with lots of coffee flowing or an afternoon get together with friends....at least to my way of thinking. 

Cranberry-Walnut Scones

As the holiday season approaches I am thinking of increased social activities and the food that comes with those activities. One in particular concern to me is a coffee date I am planning with the girlfriend of one of the sons and her dear Mom -- neither of these gals eat low carb. Extra pressure there!! In my pre-low carb days I would have pulled out one of my staples -- SCONES and coffee.

Cheesy Garlic Mashed Cauliflower

In my collection of side dishes I have several favorites that feature cauliflower. There isn't one as easy as this one and since it features frozen cauliflower, an economical one too.

Roasted Broccoli w/Toasted Pine Nuts

Nuts & seeds make such great additions to low carb dishes like this Roasted Broccoli dish. I especially enjoy them added to veggies and salads where they add both interest and crunch!
