Summer's Not Over Yet! Before summer's over, make sure to enjoy some homemade ice cream! Ice cream is one of the easiest things you can make- and easy still when it's low carb. The only thing you have to swap is the sugar- for good old erythritol. Other than that, you've got free reign over [...]
A Low Carb Cake as Light as Air! Pink lemonade is a great flavor combination of strawberry and lemon, but not just as a drink, but as desserts too! It's also my feeble, desperate attempt at holding on to the last shreds of summer before the brutal winter season is upon us. (I operate on a [...]
Caramel and chocolate go together like... Caramel and chocolate! They're a classic flavor combination and work beautifully when ooey, gooey, melted, and flowing.

Summer Grillin'! If there's one thing that crosses my mind when I see a grill, it's "I gotta throw some mushrooms on there!" Living in an apartment in Brooklyn doesn't allow for much grilling in the summer but we've got friends in rural places. Whenever we visit our Staten Islanders we're chopping veggies and marinating [...]

Soup in Under 15 Minutes! It goes without saying that we love cooking, but some nights we're too busy or too tired to prepare dinner.

The Secret's in the Breading! Everyone loves Chicken Parmesan! Whether it's on a sub or on a plate of spaghetti, it's delicious in every way!

Pure Decadence. Of the many varieties of low carb cheesecake one could enjoy, chocolate cheesecake stands out.

An Acquired Taste! Escargot is up there next to oysters, alcohol, coffee, anchovies, smelly cheese and even dark chocolate as an acquired taste. However, unlike the rest of these acquired tastes, snails are actually quite mild in flavor and have a great texture. Mushrooms and cooked snails have an almost identical texture; in fact, I [...]
Keto Meatballs With a Twist! We love eating new foods, but it's more challenging to make new foods!

We discovered a new way of [...]
