Kitchen Experiment # 19 - London Broil in Marinade

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 [...]

Chocolate Bark with Coconut Oil

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 [...]

Kitchen Experiment #18 - Demented Mock Potato Salad

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 - [...]

Help Test a New Online Low Carb Program

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 [...]

How Big Is Your Carbin’ Footprint?

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 [...]

The Utter Simplicity Of The Low Carb Shopping Trip

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 [...]

Kitchen Experiment #17 - Spicy Dry-Rubbed Ribs

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 [...]

Beef Stroganoff with Cabbage Noodles

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 [...]

Some Of The Pod People Are Starting Low Carb All The Time

I’m always amazed and impressed at the number of people out there in cyberspace whose search engine queries are about what one experiences when starting Atkins or some other carbohydrate-restrictive diet.  It usually results in a high number of daily page reads of a post LCC wrote last August.  I tend to forget about those strange feelings [...]

Tales From The Syndrome X Files, Episode 3: The Twilight Zone Diet

“Listen to me, LISTEN to me!  I’M NOT CRAZY!”
I woke from a dream just a few hours ago and, after contemplating for a while, a concept struck me that is so bizarre that it might just be possible.  I was so excited about getting it down on paper (well, this white stuff on the monitor, anyway) that [...]
