Warning: Pork Rind Stuffing (With Update)

The following recipe might perhaps serve as a warning, rather than a suggestion. As mentioned in my previous post, I wanted to make a low carb stuffing, and had planned to use low carb bread as a substitute for regular bread. Then it came to me: pork rinds! They would make a wonderful bread substitute. [...]

My Low Carb Thanksgiving

It’s the weekend before Thanksgiving here in the US, and I’ve put together a list of what I am going to make. As is the case with me, I am the only person at the table doing low carb, so the recipes have to be acceptable to them – or it be realistic to run [...]

Recipe: Fast and Easy Baked Chicken Thighs

Simplicity is the name of the game here. It’s meant to be a recipe for when you don’t want to cook. 3 or 4 chicken thighs – I get mine ‘IQF’ – ‘Individually Quick Frozen’, which means I pull a bag out of the freezer, grab some thighs, and I’m done. Trader Joe’s has great [...]

Recipe: Lazy Guy’s Baked Cod Alfredo

I purchased some wild caught cod and wanted to make my own sauce, which I typically make from mayo, parm cheese, and butter – but I had already made the Ricotta Cranberry Cream concoction and didn’t feel like pulling out another bowl.

Sugar Possibly Shortens Your Life, and Even Worse – It Causes Wrinkles

I love when I find articles that confirm my personal biases. No deep thinking or cognitive dissonance required, no need to try and refute the conclusions. Life is good. Anyway, a pair of articles came to my attention this week. The first, from Science News Daily, cites research on worms that concludes that excess sugar [...]

17 Days in Ketosis – Punching the Clock

A brief update. For the first time in ages, I’ve been in ketosis for almost three weeks. I don’t think I’ve had such a long, unbroken run since I lost my weight originally – 6 years ago. Maybe – just maybe – this time might be the one that I peel off the extra pounds [...]

Gallery of Regrettable Food

Somewhat off topic: many, many years ago I stumbled across this site – a labor of love by a writer from the midwest. He’s a fellow with a number of curious interests, and one of them is collecting old cookbooks. The result is the ‘Gallery of Regrettable Food‘ – a fond (and maybe not-so-fond) look [...]
