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

Some of its potential benefits include: May support heart health: Garlic may help lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure and can modestly reduce LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels.

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

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

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

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
