“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 [...]

Inspired by someone who did something somewhat similar (whose link I promptly lost), I happened to have one of those ice trays that allows you to create long, thin ice cubes to fit in drink bottles – and came up with this: 1/2 jar of Trader Joe’s Almond butter 2-1/2 scoops of chocolate low carb protein [...]

I’ve been experimenting with quick-to-prepare simple meals that can be put together in 5 minutes or so. Having no time is part of it, lack of coherent meal planning is part of it, too. As I’ve been eating salads for lunch lately, I got a little tired of vinegar and needed a break, so decided [...]

Kale?!? This green, leafy vegetable appears at the top of the list for nutrient density – calorie for calorie, it packs the more nutrients than nearly any other food you can buy. As part of my project to eat less of better foods, I decided to try it – but I don’t know how to [...]

A screenshot from the iPhone app ‘Lose It’ I started what I’m calling the Food Monotony Project on Tuesday, Jan 19, and since that day I’ve eaten mostly to plan. The thinking behind this goes back to a blog post I wrote in July of 2008. I forget a lot of my posts, but the [...]

Looking back can be interesting, if kept to a minimum, so I thought it might be interesting to see what were the most popular posts of 2009. Here goes.

Julia Child’s kitchen utensils – not mine. The following recipe might perhaps serve as a warning, rather than a suggestion. As mentioned in my previous post, I wanted to make a low carb stuffing, and had planned to use low carb bread as a substitute for regular bread. Then it came to me: pork rinds! [...]

Where did they get these stiffs? This picture is so phony as to be unreal. How long are they going to sit there without food on their plates? Why is the woman looking off in the distance like that – is she about to have a seizure? Why does the room they are in remind [...]
