Low Carb Kale and Beef with Mexican-Style Seasoning

Posted on February 4, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

I get up early, and have ample time before work to putz around. Not having anything good to eat for my lunch, I thought I’d cook something up with the ground beef I defrosted in the fridge. The stuff is expensive, so I tend to want to use it in a dish that uses it [...]

Awesome Roast Garlic Chicken

Posted on January 29, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

This isn’t mine – I found this one over at The Fork Left Behind. I tried this recipe and followed it to the letter – which I don’t usually do. I salted the bird and let it sit in the fridge for 3 hours, then let it sit covered on the counter top cover for [...]

Kitchen Experiment – Low Carb Kale and Bacon Crustless Quiche

Posted on January 26, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

Inspired by a Quiche that Lee Kirsten posted on her blog, I decided to make one, so I riffed off her recipe a bit, using what I had at hand: 5 oz. package of baby kale the wife bought on sale and I could imagine no one eating 5 strips of bacon leftover from some [...]

Italian Chili – My Recipe for Beating the Cravings of Pasta and Pizza

Posted on January 22, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

Last night I made this, it came out quite good, and I thought I would share. This is yet another variation on what I’ve done before. It provides a meat and vegetable-filled dish similar to a chili or stew in consistency, and, covered in grated parmesan cheese, it not only awesome, but fills that hole [...]

Kitchen Experiment FAIL: Low Carb Crock Pot Chicken Curry

Posted on January 15, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

I was WAY out of familiar territory here, and now have a pot full of food sitting in the fridge I know no one will go near. I can’t even begin to pretend that this one has any redeeming qualities. Experiments sometimes lead to failure – and this one was a big failure. This was [...]

Kitchen Experiment: Low Carb Coconunt Pumpkin Muffins with Stevia

Posted on January 14, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

This is one of my go-to recipes since conjuring it up in October, 2011. I’ve made it no less than a half-dozen times. Now, however, I have made a resolution for the year to ditch artificial sweeteners, and have done well – but this recipe, I think, does need some sweet. A reader recommended stevia, [...]

Thank You, Anthony Bourdain: It’s About the Food

Posted on January 7, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

I am an idiot. I only have a slight edge over some other idiots in that I am open to discovering that I am an idiot, so that I might actually learn something new, or discover, sometimes to my horror, how something I thought I knew was so blindingly wrong. For the past month, I [...]

Why I Don’t Buy Supermarket Ground Beef Anymore

Posted on January 5, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

There’s a wonderful/horrible chapter about hamburgers in Anthony Bourdain’s book ‘Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook‘, a brutally, if not violently,  honest and profane look at himself, food, the business of cooking and resturants, and a host of other things surrounding the world of food. If [...]

My Core Foods

Posted on November 6, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

I have a habit of noodling through an idea, then failing to follow through on it. Luckily, this blog helps me record these ideas when I come to revisit them from another angle. One of these ideas is the notion of food monotony I wrote about in January of 2010. I’ve come to disagree with [...]
