Low Carb Confidential

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.

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.

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.

This was over 3 months in the making. I stumbled across the notion of making an old fashioned pickled egg - I had heard that these ued to be a staple in bars in the early part of the last century, which somehow conjured up romantic images of simpler times.
It’s got to be good.

Do you think of yourself as a crackpot, dear reader?
The survey that I put up 2 weeks ago shows that a lot of you have been on low carb for a while - and you’ve lost weight doing it. And part of the reason you visit the site is to hang out with other folks [...]
