Low-Carb Sandwich Bread
Right from my oven There is something special about homemade bread fresh from the oven. If you enjoy the hearty texture of traditional rye bread but prefer a milder flavor, you'll love this loaf. This low-carb sandwich bread has a satisfying chew, slices beautifully, and is sturdy enough for sandwiches and toast while remaining tender and flavorful. This recipe was tested using fresh eggs from our own hens, but store-bought large eggs work beautifully, too. Whether served war

Low-Carb Sausage, Cauliflower & Rotel Skillet
Sometimes dinner isn't planned. Michael and I hadn't had a chance to go grocery shopping, and we were running low on food. So I looked at what we still had in the house: ground sausage, a head of cauliflower, a red onion, frozen mushrooms, Rotel, tomato sauce, garlic powder, and cheese. It was enough. Because many of the foods we normally keep on hand can be used in lower-carb meals, I didn't need a special trip to the store to make dinner. I could take what was available and

Hungarian-Inspired Low-Carb Beef Goulash
Inspired by a classic recipe. Adapted for my kitchen. Many of our favorite recipes have a story to tell. Goulash is one of them. The original Hungarian Gulyás dates back centuries and was prepared by cattle herders who slowly cooked chunks of beef with onions, water, and later the rich paprika that became a hallmark of Hungarian cooking. As the recipe traveled across Europe and eventually to America, families adapted it using ingredients that were available to them, creating

Low-Carb Bacon-Wrapped Tilapia
My picture of cooked Low-Carb Bacon-Wrapped Tilapia with 4 pieces of bacon on each fillet. The secret to this recipe is starting with frozen fish. Baking the fish from frozen gives the bacon time to slowly render and become crispy while the fish cooks gently. As the bacon cooks, its smoky flavor has time to season the fish, creating a tender, flaky fillet wrapped in crisp bacon. This simple technique is what makes this recipe so delicious. INGREDIENTS 4 frozen tilapia fillets

Spicy Rotel Cabbage
Having just made some Cole slaw and cut up more cabbage to ferment for Sauer kraut, I looked and saw how much more cabbage I had left over. I had the option of giving it to the chickens (they love cabbage) or making a side dish to go with the stuffed peppers I had just prepared to put in the oven. This is the recipe I decided to go with. Serves 4-6 Ingredients 1 small head cabbage, shredded (I used a 1.5-pound cabbage) 1 can Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, und

KETO FRIENDLY BLUEBERRY MUFFINS WITH ALMOND FLO
I love to cook but when it comes to baking, I seem to have trouble getting it right. My blueberry muffins come out too juicy or not quite done on the bottom. So, I decided to try something different with the blueberry muffin recipe that I had. I figured it could not get any worse, so I put cinnamon into the recipe. Why cinnamon? I had heard that there was a dare (yes, a dare) that no one could swallow a teaspoon of cinnamon. Probably because it absorbs all of the moisture in
