Simple Mushroom, Onion & Garlic Gravy
I have never been one for dry food. I love a good gravy, sauce, or a little butter to bring a meal together. This mushroom, onion, and garlic gravy is the kind of simple extra that can make steak, chicken, vegetables, or cauliflower rice feel much more satisfying. INGREDIENTS 1 tablespoon olive oil 8 oz button mushrooms, cut in half 2 medium yellow onions, sliced 1 rounded tablespoon minced garlic 1½ cups beef broth 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce ½ teaspoon garlic powder ½

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

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
