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 [...]

MiO Drink Mix (sorry -’Water Enhancer’) – A Replacement for the Sodastream Soda Mixes?

Posted on December 29, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

  I have already stated – somewhere – that as part of my 2012 resolutions I was going to try to ditch the drink mixes. the reason I’m writing about MiO, however, is because my resolutions are not necessarily your resolutions, and I thought you’d appreciate an honest review. Prior to going on vacation, I [...]

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 [...]

Low Carb Pumpkin Biscuits

Posted on October 5, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

I didn’t know when I started that they would turn out to be ‘low carb pumpkin biscuits’. What I knew was that I had a cupboard of items that I needed to use, and somehow, a combination of mixing them and heating them would turn it into something eatable or ballast for the trash. I [...]

The Feeder and the Fed: Losing Weight and Cheating Without Cheating

Posted on September 18, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

I have been losing weight as of late – and am wondering why. In particular, I’m wondering this because of my thinking about writing a book on the topic of weight loss. One thing I’d like to avoid is creating another me-too book that is more of the same. Diet books have been done to [...]

Experimenting with Coconut Flour

Posted on November 7, 2010 by lowcarbconfidential

  As I believe that it’s important to try new things to avoid becoming too set in my ways, I’m always on the lookout for new ingredients to mess with. Enter coconut flour. I used to occasionally bake with soybean flour, but I’ve come to the conclusion that soybean probably isn’t all that good for [...]

An Experiment in Making My Own Yogurt

Posted on October 23, 2010 by lowcarbconfidential

It started when I tried to do what, on the surface, should be a simple thing. Buy yogurt. Call me fussy, but I didn’t want low-fat milk, sprinkles, sparkles, fruit on the bottom, chocolate-chip laden yogurt: I just wanted yogurt. I went to what I thought would be my best source: the price-gouging faux ‘good-food’ [...]

Low Carb Ricotta Dessert with Vanilla and Mint

Posted on October 2, 2010 by lowcarbconfidential

For years I have used ricotta cheese as the basis for a low carb creamy dessert. Most of that time it was done artlessly – just throw some Splenda in a cup with ricotta and you’re done. Tasty, but artless. I’m trying to take foods to a higher level – my thinking is that I [...]

A List of Low Carb Recipe Sites

Posted on June 27, 2010 by lowcarbconfidential

“If I go on low carb, what the heck am I going to eat?” It seem I hear that a lot – most people think it’s bacon, eggs, butter and steak. The problem is that most people go on a low carb diet before they read up on it. They usually end up eating eggs [...]
