Low Carb Cooking
Low Carb Recipes
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 Fresh Idea for Strawberries
Strawberries are often the first fruit we low carbers add back into our daily eating plan and what a great choice they are. Fiber, vitamin C, potassium and even calcium are found in this little powerhouse of a food.
Whether you like your strawberries with whipped cream, over cheesecake or blended into a morning smoothie, they are probably a staple in your low glycemic household. But, as wonderful as all these options are, what else can a hungry low carber do with these declicious ruby jewels? Plenty.
Baked Brie, Low Carb Style

I love fall. The weather is temperate, the fun of the holidays is around the corner, and I feel like cooking again. Cooking is one of my favorite things but when you live in the desert, summer just isn't the right time for it.
Lately, I've been thinking of my favorite fall comfort foods and decided I was ready for some baked brie with all the trimmings. Only this time, it was going to be fast because I was going to prepare the almonds and garlic on the stovetop and melt the brie in the microwave.
What could be better than preparing a yummy gourmet snack in under 15 minutes? Not one thing.

What do you do when you get tired of shrimp scampi? Break out the champagne! Grab some extra large shrimp, a little shallot and tarragon and you'll be good to go.
This dish was a hit at my house, I hope you'll like it as well.
