You won't find recipes for steak with salad or an amazing salad with turkey breast here. If you don't know how to cook a steak, you can go allrecipes.com or similar. They have 13,000 steak recipes. (Unbelievable, isn't it? I wonder if they're all different?) Also, I don't really find it helpful to copy recipes from somewhere and just leave out the potatoes.
I trust my readers' creativity, so most of the recipes I've shared here are specifically low-carb and should be a jumping-off point for you to develop your own low-carb kitchen. They are mainly about how to create satisfying low-carb versions of traditional foods like bread, and also how to satisfy your sweet tooth on a low-carb diet. In addition, we've tried to include tips for dealing with special low-carb ingredients like almond flour or gluten.
Bean Puree with Smoked Pork
Published on: Apr 17 2022, 21:10
It's amazing how different preparation methods can change the flavor of a food, not only with the spices and other ingredients used but with the overall texture. Green beans are usually boiled, seasoned with bacon, or used in soup or salads. But we tried making a puree with green beans, and it tasted fantastic - not heavy or earthy like you might expect, but light and fresh. Green beans are very good for a low-carb diet. They actually contain a high percentage of carbohydrates, but most of these…
Bacon Dumplings

When I claim that I've been eating low-carb for three years, that's not entirely true. There are exceptions, especially when traveling; the chance to try new foods in foreign countries is just too exciting. My wife is much more consistent since her blood sugar can go haywire if she eats more carbs than usual. She had problems with hypoglycemia before going low-carb, leading to situations where she needed to eat right away but had no food on hand. That no longer happens now that she's on a low-carb…
Bacon Blossoms

Arrange your bacon blossoms in the bottom of an oven-safe dish. Before the dish goes into the oven, place a small piece of Brie on top of each sprout, making sure to include some of the Brie's rind. Combine 100 ml of the Brussels sprout cooking water, 100 ml broth, and 100 ml cream and pour the mixture into the dish. This is not so much a sauce as a way to ensure that the sprouts don't dry out. Bake uncovered at 400° F (200° C) for 20 minutes. When we tasted the finished dish, it exceeded all…
Asparagus with Pancakes
Published on: Nov 20 2022, 22:21
My parents always taught me that you should never waste food, and this is one lesson that I've taken to heart. When ordering in restaurants, I always say up front that I don't eat potatoes, rice, or bread, so that I can avoid leaving them uneaten on my plate. One of my quirks when cooking is to scrape every trace of the ingredients from used mixing bowls and pots. I once let a pancake burn because I got distracted by trying to get the last drops of batter from the bowl. That's why it's always annoyed…
Asparagus Tart
Published on: Nov 18 2021, 19:45
My wife and I love asparagus. When it's available in the springtime, we eat some almost every week. Of course, being a low-carb fan raises the question: how should we prepare it? Last year we prepared Jerusalem artichokes more often, but this year we've focused on asparagus - sometimes with a minute steak, always with homemade Hollandaise sauce, but even asparagus by itself is satisfying! Last week we wanted a little more variety, so I came up with the idea of an asparagus tart. Unfortunately…
