KETO EGG AND BACON CASSEROLE
Having worked nights as a nurse and ended my shift about 7am, I would be hungry but not too tired to cook. This has always been my favorite time of the day. I am wide awake and, on the drive, home I am mentally going over my "to do" list. This is the time when I feel like I can do just about anything. My husband, on the other hand, is not a morning person. He is a teacher and being such works five days a week. He stumbles out of bed at the last minute, showers, takes his meds

SEA BASS WITH ROASTED RED PEPPERS AND WHITE ONIONS
I just thought that I would try something different. I didn't know that this was even a recipe until after I cooked it and decided to google it just to see. As I'm sure I've told you before, Michael is lactose intolerant and so many low carb recipes have milk, cream or cheese added to it. Sometimes it is difficult to find simple recipes without these items. I have never been one to eat many different types of fish because I don't appreciate a strong fishy taste or smell. This

BBQ SPARERIBS, SUGAR FREE
Last night I made the most delicious spareribs that I think I ever prepared. It was amazingly simple but did take 2.5 hours to cook.

INGREDIENTS Uncut rack of ribs (I used baby back ribs) Soy sauce Garlic powder Onion powder G Hughes Smokehouse Sugar Free BBQ Sauce-Hickory Flavor* DIRECTIONS Heat oven to 250 degrees Spray non-stick spray on large casserole dish Place ribs, meat side

MUFFIN IN A MINUTE
I love breads and this muffin is no different. Although this muffin may satisfy for a moment it also reminds me of the One who said, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst." John 6:35. INGREDIENTS 1/4 cup flax meal 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 1/2 teaspoons Splenda (or Monk fruit) 1 large egg 1 teaspoon butter 1 teaspoon cinnamon DIRECTIONS Put dry ingredients in coffee mug and stir Add egg and butter mix (

POBLANO SAUCE
Born and raised in upstate New York then lived in Central New Jersey for 30 some years, I would never have tasted or even contemplated trying to cook a poblano, let alone make a sauce. I had never even heard of a poblano pepper until I moved to deep south Texas. Learning about different cultures and foods is so gratifying. I am proud to say that I can cook Mexican food that is incredibly delicious and low carb at the same time. Philippians 2:3-4 says "Do nothing out of selfi

ALMOND FLOUR PIZZA CRUST
This pizza crust was my second attempt, and it really was delicious. The first time I did not put in the yeast and I'm glad that I did this time. It gave the crust a bread like taste. The total Net Carb count per slice was 7.68 grams with the plant-based cheese. If you were to use real mozzarella cheese the Net Carb count per slice would be 4 grams. As you know, my husband is lactose intolerant and that is why I opted for the plant-based cheese. The first time I made this cru
