Low-Carb Low-Lactose Alfedo Sauce
I created this sauce because my husband is lactose intolerant, but I still wanted him to enjoy a creamy chicken and broccoli Alfredo bake. He can tolerate butter and a small amount of feta, so I used those along with unsweetened almond milk, plant-based cream cheese, nutritional yeast, and plant-based cheddar. This is a lower-lactose sauce, not a completely dairy-free sauce. Everyone’s tolerance is different. If you cannot tolerate feta, leave it out and use a little more pla

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
