HOMEMADE LOW-CARB TORTILLAS
Soft, Flexible, and Made with Just 6 Simple Ingredients. These homemade low-carb tortillas are easy to make and surprisingly versatile. They are soft, flexible, and work well for tacos, wraps, burritos, quesadillas, or even as a flatbread. Best of all, they are made without cheese and use simple pantry ingredients. This was the first time that I sucessfully made homemade tortillas. My husband, Michael, even gave me the thumbs up. Ingredients · 1½ cups fine almond flour

Garlic Chayote and Edamame Skillet
I wanted to create a side dish that was a little different from the usual low-carb choices like riced cauliflower or salad. While those options certainly have their place, sometimes we all want something warm, hearty, and satisfying that still supports healthier blood sugar goals. Combining chayote and edamame created a dish with great texture, good fiber, and added protein while keeping carbohydrates lower than many traditional side dishes. Chayote, also known as vegetable p

Why Does My "Diabetic Diet" in the Hospital Seem High in Carbohydrates?
One of the most common questions people with diabetes ask during a hospital stay is, "If I have diabetes, why am I being served so many carbohydrates?" Many hospitalized patients receive a consultation with a Registered Dietitian. The dietitian's role is to assess nutritional needs and help create a meal plan that supports healing, recovery, and overall health. In many hospitals, this results in a "consistent carbohydrate" meal plan rather than a low-carbohydrate meal plan. A

LOW CARB CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
I love enchiladas but the tortillas have way too many carbs for me. This was one of the first recipes that I learned to make from scratch...except for the low carb tortillas. INGREDIENTS 10 Low carb tortillas (I used Mission brand) 16 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese 16 ounces of shredded chicken breast (I used a rotisserie chicken to save time) 1/2 bunch of green onions sliced (optional) Chopped cilantro for garnish *Easy Low Carb Enchilada Sauce (1 full recipe) DIRECTIONS

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

Entertaining can be difficult when it comes to eating low carb. You want a meal that is delicious for both you and your guests, but you also want to stay within your carb range.

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

TIPAPIA AND VEGETABLE SKITTET STIR FRY
Trying to include dishes for my husband Michael, who is lactose intolerant, can be very challenging. Many low carb recipes come with sauces and cheeses. This one is a pleasant surprise. It is simple, flavorful and delicious.

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
