A year of LCHF

After Keto

A year ago I was Diabetic, Hypertensive, and morbidly obese. I’ve been told, by medical experts, that I reached that point through an inability to regulate energy. Time for a change Almost exactly a year ago (a year ago this week) I started changing what I ate.  I had been eating a diet that was mostly […]

Baked Egg in lamb

Zucchini Carbonara

Zucchini Carbonara

Carbonara is awesome!  It is a roman pasta sauce made from just 4 ingredients – any old cured pork (Bacon/Pancetta/Speck/Guancale), egg yolks, Parmigiana-Reggiano cheese, and a little white wine.

Sneaky chocolate nuts

This sneaky chocolate nut recipe started off as many do, as an after thought – How to use up some excess tempered liquid chocolate. The recipe is simple take some macadamia nuts and roast them in butter, with a touch of salt then cover them in a candy coating, then completely hide them in a chocolate.

Make Lo-Carb Chocolate

‘Tis the season for Chocolate Easter is far from an easy time for Lo-Carbers – even if you can resist a sneaky hot cross bun, there is chocolate everywhere. But I’ll let you in on a secret.  Most chocolate easter eggs are made from really horrible chocolate. You can always tell bad chocolate without even bothering to […]
