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!

Pork Satay with Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce

Sawat dee kha! This phrase is the traditional "hello"greeting of Thailand. The Land of Smiles. Thailand is one of my favorite places to go because the people are kindest, the shopping is to die for and the food is colorful and bursting with flavor.
Chinese is actually my overall favorite Asian cuisine but nothing beats grilled up pork strips with a spicy sauce made of coconut milk, peanut butter, and nam pla (fish sauce). Actually, this dish is made in many Southeast Asian countries including Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. What I'd like to make for you today is my own low carb version of a classic Pork Satay with Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce. If you like peanut butter and coconut, you're sure to be in heaven!

A couple of months ago, we (my husband, two stepsons and I) were sitting around the living room getting ready to start a movie when the youngest (22) asked me if I had any dessert planned. Nope, not that night I told him, just a movie and a diet soda. Evidently, that didn't cut it.
Grilled Salmon with Pomegranate Glaze

Salmon is my favorite fish. I LOVE it. Grilled, poached or sautéed, I’ll eat it any way I can get it. Many times all I need is a spritz of lemon and a pinch of sea salt and I’m ready to dig in.
Then there are times when I feel like something special and decidedly uncommon. A dish you can’t get on a standard menu while dining out but yet is so sinfully simple to prepare. What am talking about? Grilled Salmon with Pomegranate Glaze!
