Caprese Eggplant Rolls

Caprese Eggplant Rolls

Who needs pasta shells when you have eggplant? Thinly sliced and rolled eggplant filled with ricotta and other cheeses makes a great healthy, hearty casserole dish. I topped this one with sliced tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and chopped basil for Caprese salad inspired flavours. These eggplant rolls make a great side dish or vegetarian meal.

Roasted Tomato & Pecorino Frittata

Roasted Tomato & Pecorino Breakfast Frittata

There is just nothing like a fresh tomato right out of your own garden. It’s far sweeter and juicier than store-bought tomatoes and you can pick it at the peak of ripeness. But even if you are not growing your own, you can get great flavor out of tomatoes by roasting them in the oven.

For several years, I tried to grow zucchini without much success. I now realize that in our zeal for the long green summer squash, we over-crowded our plants. This year, we cut back to 3 well-spaced plants and I finally understand the end-of-summer zucchini glut. So I am now on the lookout for healthful, low carb zucchini recipes...

Grilled Zucchini Lasagna

Grilled Zucchini Lasagna

Using thinly sliced zucchini in place of noodles is a great way to reduce the carbs and amp up the nutrition in lasagna. But you really have to get as much excess moisture out of the zucchini as possible, so that you don’t end up with a soupy mess.

Mocha Truffle Ice Cream Bars

Mocha Low Carb Ice Cream Bars

I created this recipe after a reader requested a low carb version of the SkinnyCow Mocha Truffle Bars. Because I had some coconut milk open in the fridge, I decided to have a go at making them dairy-free as well. They were outstanding and a huge hit with the kids!

Cedar Planked Salmon

Cedar Planked Salmon with Garlic Scape Pesto

If you love garlic, you will love garlic scapes. They are the part of the garlic that grows above ground and they have a fresh garlic flavor that is somewhat milder than the bulb. They are in abundance at many farmer’s markets right now, so consider picking up a few to make this delicious garlic scape pesto...
