Worcestershire Sauce is a perfect example of the hidden sugars that you should look out for while eating a Slow Carb Diet. 1 Tablespoon contains 3g carbs and 2g sugar. It’s easy enough to forgo Worcestershire in favor of other spices and seasonings, but what’s a girl (or guy!) to do when a recipe is [...]
I discovered this (Greek) recipe through an Asian-born, Australian, food-blogger, which I found delightfully amusing because the longer I stay in Melbourne, the more I see the blending of different food cultures. It originated from Rick Stein’s Mediterranean Escape cookbook. This is definitely a “comfort food” sort of meal. It has all the simplicity of [...]
For those of you who are fairly conscientious of nutrition labels, I’m sure you’re already aware of all the nasty things that come in pre-made taco seasoning, including sugar, MSG and some other odd “starchy” sounding things. Mc Cormicks Ingredients are as follows: SPICES (INCLUDING CHILI PEPPER, CUMIN, OREGANO, AND RED PEPPER), ONION, WHEY SOLIDS (MILK), SALT, SUGAR, [...]
This is a mild but flavorful curry. It’s great served with lentils or daal or you can add lentils or chickpeas straight into the recipe. I followed a recipe I found online and have translated it into US measurements – visit the site directly for metric conversions. The recipe requires quite a few ingredients but [...]
I’m always looking for alternative breakfast ideas for the Slow Carb Diet. With leftover chilli sitting in the fridge at least once a week, I thought, why not turn the chilli into breakfast – a great way to get protein, beans and veggies in quick. This omelette takes less than 10 minutes to prepare and gives [...]
Chilli is often a staple for those of us on a Slow Carb Diet. It’s family-friendly, party-friendly, super-easy, and by making a batch or two early in the week and portioning it out for lunches, you have your weekly meals planned. While chilli is a familiar food, everyone seems to have their own recipe. Here’s [...]
I’m going to start off by saying that these lentils aren’t for everyone, but if you need to change things up a bit with your menu – they certainly do that. I’d been making my favorite Spiced Bacon Lentils for weeks, and my boyfriend finally flipped out and told me I had to try cooking [...]
If you haven’t noticed by now, I’m a bit obsessed with curries. I could quite easily eat them 7 days a week and fill the whole blog with them, but I imagine that not everyone else feels the same way. This curry, in particular, caught my eye because it of the rice wine vinegar and [...]
This is a great side dish to serve with your Slow Carb meals, especially when you’re having company for dinner. I was having guests over for a pork roast and wanted a side dish that could replace mashed potatoes (not an easy feat!) I decided a pumpkin and carrot mash would give our plates some [...]
I found this recipe in a roundup of NY Times “Minimalist” recipes. I cooked the pork a bit longer than the recommended 3 hours, and it was flavorful and tender, as expected from a cut of meat that cooks for hours over a low heat. I served the pork over a roasted garlic and butter [...]
