Thanksgiving this past year was the first Holiday meal where I had no control over the meal. I was invited to a meal of my friends and their family, none of whom knew about my gluten/dairy intolerances. Bit of a tricky situation that many of us with this diet restriction will face at one point...

It’s very easy to lose track of how simple the Slow Carb Diet is. Keeping a blog of all the food I eat helps keep variety in my diet but also has broken the “eat the same thing over and over” rule. To be honest, I felt that I had an obligation to be producing new material...

I conquered one of my fears. I ate (and enjoyed) Brussels Sprouts on my own. I don’t know what it was, the strong smell, the texture, something that really turned me off to them.

I found this product while I was hunting for a dinner idea at Whole Foods. My meal turned out so well that I decided to share it with the rest of the world. The Frontera Brand sauces are mixes you add to your own ingredients. Accompanying the taco sauce pictured above, I also purchased the...

I eat tons of eggs every week. Between my household of two, we go through 2 dozen eggs a week! It’s a great way to get protein in the morning (and throughout the day as well) to feed your muscles and promote weight loss. My “sunrise eggs” are a variation of my usual morning...

The Black Bean Spinach Salad is one of my favorite salads of all time. It’s simple to make, great tasting, and easy to take to pot lucks or other food gatherings. The bacon gives a nice smokey flavor that balances out the beans and spinach. There are a lot of ways to dress it up, so be...
