I Suck At Low Carb Dieting – Week 4 – Alien Hand Syndrome

Posted on March 18, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

Reflecting back at the previous week, I made some decent progress. I shed 8 lbs., which isn’t shabby, though I’m not too impressed as most of the weight was most likely water retention from a blowout the prior week. A major event was getting my ass to the gym every day last week and the [...]

Some Hidden Low Carb Recipes That Should See the Light of Day

Posted on March 2, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

When I started low carb in 2003, Lowcarber.ca was the place I hung out. Recently, a commenter mentioned a chef named Karen Barnaby who had a low carb cookbook. The name rang a bell. I went to Lowcarber.ca, and – yes! – the same woman – a chef at The Fish House in Vancouver, Canada [...]

I came across this blog – Low Carb for Two – when Lauren, the blogger, left a comment here. This blog has only been around a few weeks, but in that time, Lauren has managed to whip up a slew of recipes, detail her successes and failures – and take a boatload of pictures of [...]

Low Carb Crock Pot Brisket (With Pictures)

Posted on February 7, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

The kid and I had planned to cook a recipe for brisket from one of the cookbooks put out by America’s Test Kitchen, a concern that does what I do, but only on a large-scale – buys lots of food and ruins a lot of it – in order to come up with the perfect [...]

Kitchen Experiment: Making My Own Sauerkraut (With Step-by-Step Pictures!)

Posted on February 6, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

I have been enjoying real, fermented sauerkraut this past week. There are apparently a number of reasons why eating real fermented vegetables might be real good for you – probiotics, bio-availability of nutrients, yada, yada, yada. Check out this link from Mark’s Daily Apple if you want a good overview of the health benefits. I was just [...]

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 [...]
