I have now completed Day 17 of Whole30. For some reason I have really felt like making chili and stews lately. Yes, I realize it is extremely hot in the middle of the South Carolina summer, but I am ready for fall. Since I am staying away from nightshades right now, I needed to come…
[Update] Sloppy Turkey Joes (Low Carb and Gluten Free)
[Updated 07-26-12] Tonight’s cooking adventure was inspired by Rachael Ray’s recipe. The recipe is a play on sloppy joes. I made the following modifications to make the recipe lighter and lower in carbs.

Buffalo Chicken Burgers with Cucumber Slaw (Low Carb and Gluten Free)

Homemade Dill Pickles (Low Carb and Gluten Free)
My latest cooking adventure was Low Carb Homemade Dill Pickles. Cucumbers are one of my favorite snacks and lately I was looking for different ways to munch on cucumbers. Store bought pickles often have added sugar and unnecessary ingredients. It’s very easy and quick to make this perfect summer pickle recipe.
Low Carb Bacon and Cheese Stuffed Hamburgers
My latest cooking adventure is Low Carb Bacon and Cheese Stuffed Hamburgers. It had been awhile since I had a juicy burger, but I was a little hesitant to make one at home. Normally my burgers end up dry and taste like cardboard…YUCK! The perfect solution to this was to stuff the burgers full of…
Low Carb “Potato” Skins
Tonight’s cooking adventure was “Potato” Skins. I was inspired by I Breathe…I’m Hungry’s Loaded “Faux-tato” Skins recipe (https://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/2012/02/loaded-faux-tato-skins.html).
