Desserts
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!
Stuffed Strawberries...
Submitted by Shelleyg on Tue, 04/15/2008 - 19:04.
I bought some of the BEST strawberries at the market a few days ago. I wanted to do them *justice*, and not shortchange them by only adding whipped cream! LOL!
So......I stuffed them! My mom used to do this when I was growing up. She called them *special dessert strawberries*
Easy and quick.
Lemon Bars

I threw these together this morning, and they turned out pretty good. Next time I'll use a larger lemon for more zest and a deeper flavor. These are small bars, but when you need a bit of a sweet treat, they hit the spot.

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.

Strawberry Milkshake
Submitted by LCE Guest on Sun, 03/14/2004 - 06:00.Most LC ice cream brands include sugar alcohols as ingredients - remember that these are a "your mileage may vary" item, and you may need to count those carbs as well. Nutritional information included counts all carbs, including sugar alcohols.
