I am sure that most of you have eaten London broil, so this ‘experiment’ is most likely a big ‘duh!’ for most of you, but for me, London broil was a ‘once-in-a-blue-moon’ meal as a kid - and pretty much I haven’t eaten it since.
Over the weekend, I stopped on the way home from work [...]

I have been making these for years - I don’t know why I haven’t posted this one yet. When my family and I go to the beach, we always make these because they are so portable. They beat regular hard-boiled eggs because they need no extra flavoring - the flavoring is already in them.
Here’s the [...]

Chocolate is supposed to be good for you - if you can avoid the high sugar found in most chocolate. For years, I’ve gnoshed on the Lindt 85% dark chocolate, and though I never was a big dark chocolate fan, this is really good dark chocolate and I always buy it.
If you just can’t stand [...]

The conscripted members of the Low Carb Confidential Taste Panel (my wife and two daughters) cast a wary eye at some of the things I prepare. Long experience has told them that to accept my innocent-sounding invitation to ‘take a taste’ puts them in a bind, as what was offered might indeed be yummy - [...]

I was thinking about low carb substitutions - when you are jonesin’ for a bagel - what do you replace it with? I have my own list, but I know you folks out there could certainly come up with a bunch as well - my list would be no better than anyone else who’s been [...]

I’m big on personal responsibility, and I have to admit that I am the weight I am now simply because a part of me doesn’t want to weigh less.
At the beginning of the year I had managed to put on [...]

OK, this time I think I did it. I Googled it, and NOBODY has used “Carbin’ Footprint” as far as I can tell. I’m copyrighting it here and now, so if you want to use the term legally, send me an email and we’ll talk.
So anyway, I was thinking about how it’s been over a [...]

Last night as I was going through the grocery store sale papers in preparation for this week’s shopping trip, it struck me just how simplified my life has become since going low carb.
One of my favorite things to do is shop. Whether for food, or electronic gear, or something someone asked me to find a [...]

All the members of the Low Carb Confidental Taste Panel love PF Changs Northern Style Ribs. These are a dry rubbed ribs - no gooey BBQ sauce here. We wanted to try and create this at home, but I couldn’t find a recipe that even claimed to be close to their recipe.
I decided to make [...]
