Super simple low-carb pancakes

Super Simple Low-carb Pancakes with a side of bacon

The need for super simple low-carb pancakes People new to the LCHF diet and life-style often miss their customary carb-laden comfort food. Personally, I think the best approach is to move on, embrace your new way of eating, and not try to recreate in low-carb form all the breads, pastas, and baked goods you used to enjoy. But a few exceptions may be good for your morale, and not hurt your carb count much or at all. … [Read more...]

First pound

By JA September 27, 2017

2-egg cheese omelette with salsa

Send up the sky-rockets! My "Keto Diet Reboot" has produced a one pound weight loss. Well, sort of. After the first day, the scale showed a half-pound gain. Then, after the second day, the scale showed a one pound weight loss. So, for the duration, I've lost a net of a half-pound. It's a start, I guess. I'm not putting much stock in it yet. Was it water weight or body fat that I lost over-night? Or lean muscle? I don't know. A month or so from now, maybe I'll know. By then, I'm expecting my … [Read more...]

Easy Eggs Florentine

By Jim September 13, 2017

In my low-carb, high-fat reincarnation, I find myself cooking more and trying new dishes. No longer can I slap ham and cheese between whole-wheat bread, garnish with potato chips, and call it lunch. A bit of creativity is in order. But only a bit. I am a simple man. My method as both a cook and a writer is the same: I simplify.  As a writer, I compose a sentence, and then go over it to remove words. I’m hell on adjectives and adverbs. Call it the “blue pencil” approach (or maybe the "Twitter … [Read more...]

Berries in heavy cream

By Jim September 4, 2017

For dinner one summer night, I ate a chunk of slow-cooked roast-beef, some raw veggies, and as a treat, a bowl of halved fresh strawberries, whole fresh blueberries, and two table-spoons of heavy whipping cream. Berries are the only kind of fruit I eat anymore. (I count the avocado as a berry, one that brings its own creamy fat.) I calculate that the berry bowl contained 137 calories, 9 grams carbs, 2 grams fiber, and 10 grams fat. All of the fat and the majority of the calories came from the … [Read more...]
