LOW CARB CHEESE ENCHILADAS FOR EGG FAST
If you have ever had tamales, you know there is a specific texture to masa in a tamale, and there is supposed to be a hint of smoky spiciness to the middle meat filling. Some people may be on the verge of offended when I talk about masa without corn, for the word typically represents a corn-based dough used for all kinds of dishes, including pupusas, tortillas and of course tamales. For our version we used flaxseed meal and coconut flour to achieve the required texture.

The concept is so simple and imparts so much flavor into the chicken. It’s hard to believe we don’t use this method more often!

I never really had Americanized fritters since I grew up eating Korean fritters, like 파전 (Korean scallion pancakes) and 김치부친개 (Kimchi pancakes). So when I saw this fritter recipe, I figured it would taste very similar to Korean fritters since the concept of making them was pretty much the same but that wasn’t the case at all. These fritters were wonderfully crisp on the outside with such an enjoyable fluffy interior from the ricotta, which you never get to experience with Korean fritters since it’s made into such a thin layer. Now the best part of these fritters was the lemon flavor, which gave it that refreshing burst of flavor. And that last bit of lemon juice on top made these absolutely perfect. NOTE: To make even lower carb, sub Heavy Whipping Cream for the milk and Almond Flour for the flour.
KOREAN ZUCCHINI RICOTTA FRITTERS
Simple Korean-style egg rolls are an easy side dish for any day in Korea. We eat this every now and then because it’s quick, beautiful, and delicious and calls for only a few ingredients. NOTE: Use Heavy Whipping Cream instead of milk for lower carb

A simple Low Carb Chicken Salad for one of those days you don’t feel cooking “fancy”.
My favorite part about this recipe is that the dressing uses mayonnaise as a base.

I adore the traditional Italian Caprese salad made with buffalo mozzarella, tomatoes and basil but I wanted to create a more elaborate version with grilled eggplant (aubergines for my UK friends) to make it into a more substantial meal. Fried garlic and balsamic vinegar give this salad a real flavour punch, which I love, but of course you can use a simple dressing of olive oil and lemon instead.

Who misses biscuits? That has been one of my most missed things since being dx’d. I have tried the Golden Flax (mild wacky flavor) Coconut Flour (too cakey) Almond Flour (too nutty) and have not had any luck at finding a low carb biscuit that has the taste and fluffiness that I had come to love.
Biscuits in gravy has been one of the most often missed things since I became a diabetic and I have tried several different recipe hacks to make a version that was both delicious and diabetic-friendly.

Honey Lemon Coconut Paleo Pancakes
For this recipe, I modified a standard waffle recipe to use almond flour instead of regular wheat flour. Sometimes this works out well without having to make too many other changes. I do find that eggs may need to be increased slightly when using ground almonds instead of regular flour.
These waffles are simply amazing. They are dense, crunchy on the outside and spongy on the inside. I don’t often think that I can’t tell much difference between the grain-free version and the original version, but in this case, if I didn’t know these were made with almond flour, I would never guess it. The only small difference is that I think they are a bit drier than “normal” waffles. (NOTE: Do not add the honey for even lower carb.)

Ranch dressing is extremely easy to make and so much better than the store-bought version. It tastes better and doesn’t have any unhealthy additives and preservatives. It’s ready in just a few minutes and you can keep it in the fridge for up to a week. I didn’t use any buttermilk to make this dressing even more keto-friendly. I like using it in salads or as a dip for vegetables and crispy chicken drumsticks. You will never need to buy the bottled version again!

Tzatziki is one of the classic sauces in Greek cuisine, with as many versions as there are cooks who make it. I can get away with calling this the World’s Best Tzatziki Sauce because it was made by my friend Georgette, who’s not only 100% Greek, but also one of the best cooks I know

Queso dip – incredible cheesy, creamy and with just the right amount of heat. It’s one of my biggest weaknesses. In my dreams, I eat queso dip every day, just like you would eat soup! But since that isn’t exactly normal and most queso recipes aren’t exactly low carb, I’ve cut back. This week was a little different though, I couldn’t keep my queso cravings at bay, so I did what any low carber currently on the #MakeYouMove campaign would do and went testing recipes. And bam! I made a simple low carb version, that was oh-so-delicious.
This classic Italian sauce is creamy and rich. Traditionally the ingredients are heavy cream, butter, parmesan, salt and pepper. There are many other variations around, often including garlic, egg yolks, flour, bacon, and more! Alfredo is one of the few sauces that I’ll buy pre-made in jars, because the carb count is much lower than in most of the others.

White Barbecue Sauce is a regional favorite. A traditional Alabama BBQ sauce, this vinegar and mayonnaise based sauce has quickly become a favorite with anyone that’s tried it. It’s not what you envision when you think of barbecue sauce. At all. It’s white. It’s not sweet. It has a mayonnaise base. NOTE: For even lower carb, try it without the sugar.
Although I love real fresh squeezed lemonade (I used to get it on the boardwalk as a treat) I was never a huge lemon dessert fan. That changed when I made lemon curd for the first time four or five years ago. I made these teeny tiny lemon tarts for my sister-in-law’s baby shower. They were adorable and they were delicious. Lemon has grown on me since then. This Creamy Lemon Dessert Sauce is amazing on berries.

HOLIDAY LOW CARB RECIPES
New Years
If your New Year’s Eve just isn’t the same without eggnog, but you’re sticking to low carb eating, I have just the recipe for you.
This low carb eggnog is amazingly easy to throw together. You can use two real eggs instead of the liquid egg product. Personally, I don’t like the idea of drinking actual raw eggs. Eggbeaters are so much easier to work with, too, with no mess from cracking real eggs. NOTE: Using Heavy Whipping Cream instead of milk will reduce the carb count.
