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.
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 [...]

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 [...]

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.
THE EXPERIMENT: [...]

As a kid, my family was not a beef stroganoff family. I don’t think my Mom ever made the stuff. I’d certainly heard the name, but had no idea what it was.
A while back I came across a recipe for beef stroganoff that used cabbage as ‘noodles’, which I thought interesting. I finally got around [...]

Let’s (actually, let me) talk about food for a few minutes.  What I’ll be saying is, of course, my own opinion, and not to be taken as a call for anybody to change what they’re doing or how they feel about it.  It’s just something to think about.
I’ve read with interest many low carb recipes, [...]
