Cakes
Some culinary creativity can make the difference between feeling resentfully "diet-deprived" and making a smooth transition to a lifetime of healthy eating habits.
And while there are some pretty good low-carb convenience foods out there, for many of us, "convenience foods" are what got us in trouble in the first place. So while bars, shakes and pre-packaged meals can serve as fillers and emergency foods, they should never be seen as a substitute for healthy, whole foods. The less processed, the better results you can expect. Low carb recipes make your journey to success smoother, so let's get cooking!

A cake story...

Most recipes that I come up with are usually for only 2 servings. This serves a double purpose:
1. If it's really good, and I get carried away, then the *damage* isn't as horrific as scarfing, say,6 servings of cake, muffins or whatever.
2. If it's really bad, and I end up tossing it in the trash, then the loss of my LC ingredients isn't quite as costly.
Anyway, I digress...
Several weeks ago, DH asked if I would bake him a chocolate cake. Since I don't buy, use, or keep the standard boxed cake mixes in the house anymore, I decided to try and make a LC (2 servings) chocolate cake that would lure my DH over to the *dark side* of LC!! 
So, after a few tweeks, I came up with 2 different cakes from essentially the same basic batter.

Wow! This is moist and dense and extremely good. A very nice, high fiber, very low carb dessert. Right now I'm thawing some strawberries to top a slice for later today, perhaps with a bit of whipped cream or even sour cream. Can't wait.
