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 [...]

Do Low Carb Diets Fail Partly Because of Social Pressure?

Posted on January 23, 2012 by lowcarbconfidential

The other day, before the start of yet another meeting at work, someone brought up Dr. Oz. One person said: “I always used to think that drinking skim milk was good for you, but Dr. Oz said you should drink 2%.” It was said as a revelation, a shock. I couldn’t help myself: “You know, [...]

MiO Drink Mix (sorry -’Water Enhancer’) – A Replacement for the Sodastream Soda Mixes?

Posted on December 29, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

  I have already stated – somewhere – that as part of my 2012 resolutions I was going to try to ditch the drink mixes. the reason I’m writing about MiO, however, is because my resolutions are not necessarily your resolutions, and I thought you’d appreciate an honest review. Prior to going on vacation, I [...]

10 Pounds Lost: An Introduction

Posted on January 3, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

I have chronicled my efforts at weight loss before. I don’t like the word ‘journey’ – it sounds so romantic: I imagine swelling movie music, perhaps standing nobly, chin up, on the deck of some beautiful ship, below a brilliant blue sky, sailing to some magical place, perhaps with a woman (in my case my wife, of [...]

THIS Time For Real – Bwhahahahahahahah!

Posted on January 2, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

Ya gotta love this blog if you enjoy watching the best of intentions crumble in the face of a box of cookies. Well, here we are – another year – 2011. 2010 was my worst year in all my seven years following a low carb lifestyle. In the past year, I gained 20 lbs. I [...]

Quick & Easy Low Carb Scallop Recipe

Posted on November 13, 2010 by lowcarbconfidential

Before you accuse me of a misuse of the word ‘recipe’ to describe this post, realize that I use this blog as my own reference for concoctions – if I don’t document it here, I forget. I enjoyed this, my family enjoyed it, so this faux-recipe gets posted: 1 bag Trader Joe’s frozen scallops Old [...]

Low Carb Ricotta Dessert with Vanilla and Mint

Posted on October 2, 2010 by lowcarbconfidential

For years I have used ricotta cheese as the basis for a low carb creamy dessert. Most of that time it was done artlessly – just throw some Splenda in a cup with ricotta and you’re done. Tasty, but artless. I’m trying to take foods to a higher level – my thinking is that I [...]

The Food Monotony Project

Posted on January 20, 2010 by lowcarbconfidential

Earlier in the year, I bemoaned my lack of weight loss and set a goal for the year of losing 40 lbs. – then did nothing to try to reach that goal. There’s been a number of life changes at work and at home that have put the pressure on and lately, I’ve felt that [...]

Recipe: Fast and Easy Baked Chicken Thighs

Posted on November 15, 2009 by lowcarbconfidential

Simplicity is the name of the game here. It’s meant to be a recipe for when you don’t want to cook. 3 or 4 chicken thighs – I get mine ‘IQF’ – ‘Individually Quick Frozen’, which means I pull a bag out of the freezer, grab some thighs, and I’m done. Trader Joe’s has great [...]
