I know you’re all getting ready for the holiday season and that normally means food. Lots and lots of food. And potential to pack on a few pounds that never really go away. No one wants that, do they? Keep the menu lean and healthy with one of these holiday recipe ideas put out by [...]
This is a guest post from Jason of Finding My Fitness It’s crazy to think that you can go to the grocery store and see Christmas decorations already (at least here in the U.S.). Around this time, I usually love to start drinking egg nog. There’s a problem though. I can’t stand it anymore. That’s [...]
Superbowl can be a landmine of bad food choices on the Slow Carb or Paleo diet if you don’t plan for it. You can also stick to the plan pretty easily and eat some killer food if you’re up for a bit of prep. Here’s a few ideas to have a Slow Carb or Paleo [...]
Happy holidays, Slow Carbers. This will be the last post of 2011 so I thought I’d leave you with a festive recipe so you can enjoy a healthier version of one of my favorite holiday recipes. You may have noticed a huge slow-down in posting over the last few months. I’ve been quite busy with [...]
This recipe for stuffed mushrooms makes an awesome main course served with stir-fried veggies or great nibbles if you’re throwing a party.

It originated from Rick Stein’s Mediterranean Escape cookbook. This is definitely a “comfort food” sort of meal. It has all the simplicity of [...]

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 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 [...]
This recipe was a favorite of mine long before the Slow Carb Diet. I originally found it in my mom’s Cooking Light magazine. It has been reposted here at myrecipes.com. This is one of those healthy recipes that you actually forget is healthy. It’s always a crowd pleaser, and quite honestly, it’s so good that when I [...]
