Rosemary Garlic Grilled Leg of Lamb

Lamb has always been one of my favorite meats but I only recently started putting it on the grill. A boneless leg of lamb can be laid out flat and cooks quite quickly on the grill. And the flavour is out of this world. If the lamb isn’t butterflied to an even thickness, simply use a sharp knife to cross-hatch in all over (on the inside) to allow it to lay more evenly.

Patriotic Cheesecake Cookies (Low Carb)

Fresh summer produce makes for wonderful patriotic dishes. If you celebrate the Fourth of July, berries make the best additions to your Independence Day themed treats. From drinks to dessert, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries help you wave your red, white and blue and eat healthy and low carb.

Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice

This low carb side dish is a diabetes friendly take on the famous Cilantro Lime Rice from Chipotle. A quick search online will bring up numerous copycat…

Maple Rosemary Cocktail Nuts

These cocktail nuts are my lower carb take an a snack I picked up while traveling recently. The maple and rosemary combo was just too tempting to resist. The pre-packaged nuts weren’t overly sweet, despite the use of real maple syrup.

Thai Basil Chicken Wraps

Thai Basil Chicken is a dish I discovered one summer when I had copious amounts of basil growing in my garden. Although there is an actual basil variety called Thai Basil, I usually use the standard kind and it tastes delicious. Normally I do not use iceberg lettuce for any recipe because it’s virtually devoid of nutritional value, but it’s definitely makes for the best lettuce wraps.

Peanut Butter Banana Chia Smoothie

No bananas were hurt in the making of this smoothie. Don’t get me wrong, I love bananas but they aren’t exactly easy on the blood sugar. Thank goodness for extracts and flavorings. This way, I can still get all the great banana flavor without the extra carbs.

Grilled Eggplant Bruschetta

I adore bruschetta and have since the first time I tried it. But let's face it, that french bread isn't so kind to the blood sugars...

Chocolate Avocado Pudding Pops

I am usually not a huge fan of tricking my kids into eating their vegetables by hiding them in desserts. I like to encourage them to eat healthfully without resorting to such measures. But I made an exception this time because only one of them will willingly eat avocado and I feel like the other two are missing out on all the good healthy fats.

Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi with Strawberry Lime Salsa

On a recent trip to Florida, I ordered a macadamia nut crusted fish that sounded delicious. Unfortunately, it was breaded in a thick batter that rendered the flavor of the macadamias indistinguishable.

25 Low Carb Mother’s Day Brunch Ideas

Mother’s Day might be something of a Hallmark holiday, but many of us do mark the occasion in one form or another. It’s a lovely sentiment, to take time out to appreciate mothers the world over and all their hard work.
