I’m so excited about growing a garden this spring/summer! Normally I don’t have a green thumb and end up killing everything I try and grow. This year I decided to get a Tower Garden and try it out. I like to think of the Tower Garden as “brown thumb” proof because it steps you through the whole…
Chocolate and Candied Orange Peel Ice Cream
In April I attended Paleo f(x) in Austin, TX. It was a great opportunity to listen to leading experts, doctors, and scientists in the paleo and low carb communities. Plus I got to meet and spend time with some amazing blogger friends. Austin is also a major foodie city and one of the things we…

How’s the weather in your area? It’s really starting to heat up here in South Carolina, so it’s nice to have a cold treat to enjoy on those hot Spring (or what feels like Summer already) days.

Mediterranean Spiced Carrots
It’s always nice to have a handful of homemade spice mixtures on hand to jazz up the typical veggie side dishes I eat. Making your own spice mixtures ensure that there are no added fillers, preservatives, or sugar. This Mediterranean spice mixture has a lot of the flavors of the Mediterranean and is versatile for many…
Carolina BBQ Chicken Wings (Paleo and Low Carb)
Living in South Carolina means lots of BBQ…it’s a pretty big deal here. What makes barbecue different in South Carolina is that the sauce is mustard based instead of ketchup based. I love it so much better! The problem is that most commercial Carolina barbecue sauces are usually filled with high fructose corn syrup, tons of sugar,…
Grain Free Swirl Brownies (Paleo)
My friend Carol wrote this fabulous ebook called, Indulge. It has delicious grain free dessert recipes and one of my favorites is a flourless brownie recipe.

Instant Carob (or Chocolate) Pudding (Dairy Free and Paleo)
So what exactly is carob? Carob powder is made from the dried pods of the carob tree and is a substitute for chocolate. It has a rich chocolate like flavor. Chocolate is high in histamines and I am trying to eat a low histamine diet to help control and heal my skin and Rosacea symptoms. When…
Parmesan Herb Chicken (Grain Free and Low Carb)
Chicken is one of my favorite things to eat. These days I usually opt for the bone-in, skin on chicken since that is what comes in my monthly meat share….and most importantly it tastes so much better. When I do end up eating boneless, skinless chicken breast I have to find some ways to give…
No Bake Caramel Cheesecake (Grain Free)
When I made my Caramel Nut Butter Bars, I absolutely loved the caramel sauce and wanted to use it in other desserts.

Italian Noodle Soup (Paleo and Gluten Free)

Pesto Burgers (Paleo, Low Carb, and Low FODMAP)
I have lettuce wrapped burgers pretty often since they make such an easy dinner. And although I’m a creature of habit and could eat the same thing for dinner over and over again, I do eventually get bored with the same ole thing. Pesto is usually reserved for zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash, but the other…
Mashed Rutabaga (Paleo and Low FODMAP)
I have used this time during our 30-Day Clean Eating Challenge to experiment with different veggies. Because of SIBO, I’ve had to adjust my diet to eliminate vegetables that are high in FODMAPs. The normal veggies I love were causing me to have digestive distress particularly in the form of bloating. I have been branching…
Roasted Spiced Radishes (Paleo and Low Carb)
When I first changed my diet I started by lowering my carbs and one of the best substitutes for potatoes was radishes. At first I wasn’t going to try it because most of my experience with radishes was in raw form in salads. Yuck! I definitely wasn’t a fan of raw radishes, but I decided to…
Herb Crusted Pork Loin (Low Carb and Paleo)
I usually get all my meat from a local farm that has grassfed beef plus pastured chicken, pork, and turkey. It’s so convenient to be a part of the “meat share” and each month and I pick up the meat at the farmer’s market once a month. It’s already packaged and I store it in…
Spiced Chicken Wings (Low Carb and Paleo)
Today is Day 8 of our 30 Day Clean Eating Challenge. So far so good for me and while my diet normal consists of clean low carb and paleo eating, I had indulged on a little too many grain free treats over the holidays. Plus I’m trying to get rid of SIBO so it’s best for me…
Taco Lettuce Wraps (Paleo and Low FODMAP)
So you may be thinking that the little packet of seasoning you usually buy for tacos can’t be all that bad for you. Have you flipped over the package and read through the ingredients? Store bought taco seasoning contains ingredients that are far from real food and add unnecessary carbs and sugar to the mix….
Clean Eating Side Dish: Carrot Purée
It’s always nice to have some different veggie options to turn to when you’re wanting something a little different.

One thing I have learned over the years is that you have…
Bacon Wrapped Smokies (Low Carb and Paleo)
Yesterday was my 3 year blogiversary! Wow, it’s so hard to believe that over 3 years ago I started my journey to health and then decided to document my recipes and journey through this blog. What started out as a little hobby to fill some free time and to have a place to store recipes ended…

Most of the recipes filling my newsfeed are for sweet treats…
Caramel Pecan Clusters (Paleo and Low Carb Option)

No Bake Cranberry Cheesecakes (Grain Free)
When I think of Thanksgiving cranberries are always a part of the food celebration. As I kid, I remember opening the can of gelled cranberry sauce. When I think about it now, it’s kinda a gross, but I loved the taste of it. Making cranberry sauce with fresh cranberries is so easy and it tastes…
Ginger Snap Cookies (Grain Free)
It’s nice to have a few different options for holiday desserts. Some people like the traditional pies that are usually served during the holidays, but some people (like me) love cookies. Cookies make a great addition to the holiday table, especially with the seasonal flavors like ginger and cinnamon. And the good news is that…
20 Thanksgiving Desserts (Paleo and/or Low Carb)
A big part of Thanksgiving dinner is the dessert.

Braised Short Ribs (Paleo and Low Carb)
As you may know, I’m currently working on getting rid of SIBO.

I’ve had to adjust my diet because foods…

Mashed Celery Root (Paleo, Low Carb, Low FODMAP, SCD)
Good ole celeriac, aka celery root. It’s the ugly duckling of the vegetable world. Its weird looking exterior makes people pass right by it in the grocery store. A lot of people have no clue how to prepare a celery root. Luckily, a few years ago I decided to try celery root for the first…

Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Cookies (Paleo and Low Carb)
Hazelnuts have been gaining popularity over the last few years, but it’s one nut that I honestly never really used much. I guess I was always a little intimidated by hazelnuts.

Watermelon & Cream Popsicles (Paleo and Dairy Free)
The other week my CSA came with a deliciously ripe Watermelon.

Lemon Basil Grilled Chicken (Paleo and Low Carb)

So I had to turn to…

Grain Free Graham Crackers and Graham Cracker Crumbs
I used to eat graham crackers all the time. I’d either slather them with peanut butter (hey I didn’t even know almond butter existed) or dip them in milk. It was always a nice treat! Well, since I cut out the grains I needed a subsitute that would hold up to the original and I…
Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream

Glazed Blueberry Biscuits

Cheesy Zucchini “Rice”
Me and dairy haven’t gotten along in many years. I used to fill the void by downing tons of those Lactaid pills or by eating fake dairy. Eventually I had to add more and more of those pills for it to even be effective. One day I decided that it was ridiculous to take so…
Slow Cooker Onions
To be honest I have never really liked onions. Sure I’d eat them if they were chopped up really fine and thrown in a dish, but I never really made onions to eat along side my meals. I was also pretty disappointed when my CSA was filled with onions every week. What was I going…

One of our favorite meals to make is pulled pork in the slow cooker. It’s so easy to throw all of the ingredients into the slow cooker and come back 12 hours later to tender and juicy pulled pork. I definitely recommend a bone-in Boston butt to help maintain the juiciness of the pork. Also,…
Strawberry Lime Granita
Today I wanted to share a delicious summer treat that doesn’t require an ice cream maker. A Granita is similar to sorbet, except you scrape the mixture every so often so that the ice crystals are larger in size. This produces a lighter frozen treat, almost like a slushie. I was lucky enough to receive…
Grilled Chicken Teriyaki
Summer is a great time for firing up the grill, so I wanted to bring you a delicious recipe to enjoy. I’m a big fan of chicken teriyaki, but store bought teriyaki sauce is full of high fructose corn syrup and preservatives. No thanks! For my teriyaki sauce I used coconut aminos. If you aren’t…

These Ice Cream Sandwiches are the perfect vehicle for either Vanilla Ice Cream or if you’re daring Frozen Chocolate Custard. I have a confession though…..these beauties were supposed to be Red Velvet Ice Cream Sandwiches. …
Buffalo Wing “Hummus”
It’s always great to have different dips around for all of the summer BBQs. Instead of serving the dips with chips, sliced veggies or even homemade grain-free crackers, make a great option.

Sparkling Watermelon Cooler
The other week I went to pick up my weekly CSA vegetables, when they handed me a watermelon and said “Congrats it’s your lucky day…a free watermelon!” My first thought was that I couldn’t even remember the last time I had eaten watermelon. I have stayed away from it for years because of the higher…

Chocolate and Bacon Candies (Low Carb and Paleo Friendly)
I recently polled the Living Low Carb…One Day at a Time Facebook fans and asked “What’s better than bacon?” There were a ton of responses, but the most common answer was chocolate.

Frozen Chocolate Custard (Low Carb and Paleo Friendly)
Before low carb and paleo, one of our favorite things to eat for dessert in the summer was Chocolate Custard from Rita’s Italian ice and custard shop.

Bread and Butter Pickles

I love my ice cream maker….seriously it’s always running in the summer, but sometimes I forget to put the extra ice cream bowl in the freezer the night before I want to use it. Luckily, I threw together this easy frozen dessert that doesn’t require an ice cream maker. This Frozen Almond Butter Mousse comes together…
Onion and Bacon Jam
Onions have been a big part of my CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) box so far this year. At first I was a little disappointed because I hardly ever used onions in my cooking because I never really liked the taste. One good thing about a CSA is that it forces me to go out of…
Hormone Balancing Strawberry Tulsi Gelatin Bites

Paleo Fried Green Tomatoes (Low Carb)
As soon as I saw the the green tomatoes in my CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) box, I just knew I needed to make fried green tomatoes.

Strawberry Lime Sorbet (Low Carb)
In South Carolina summertime always means two things: 1) It will be hot the ENTIRE time…plus into the Fall and 2) Berries are fresh and in seasoning. Ok, well strawberries are more of a spring thing, but you can still catch some fresh strawberries in the early parts of the summer. Luckily for me there…
Paleo Blueberry Barbeque Sauce
Blueberries are in season here in South Carolina so I’ve been making a lot of recipes with the blueberries from my CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) box. Every week I like to post a picture of my CSA box on the Living Low Carb…One Day at a Time Facebook page and asked, “What’s the first thing…

When I first saw that basil was in my CSA box this week my first thought was pesto. I had just made Arugula Pesto and still had some leftover so I needed to make something different. The smell of the basil was so fragrant and powerful! It reminded me of a big bowl of spaghetti. …
Almond Butter Coconut Cookies (Low Carb and Paleo)
It’s always nice to have an easy cookie recipe. One of my go-to cookie recipes to make is Chocolate Dipped Almond Butter Cookies. One request I get a lot is from people wanting to substitute liquid sweeteners, such as Stevia, in the cookies instead of using Swerve. The problem with that is the Swerve adds…

Marinated Golden Beets and Why Beets are Good Carbs
Ok, so apparently I’m not a beet expert. I had high hopes of making Red Velvet Brownies using the beets that were in my CSA box this week. Those ruby red beets were going to give my brownies the red color they famously have. So to prepare the beets, I needed to roast them first….
Coconut Chips Two Ways and Why You Should Add Coconut to Your Diet

Arugula Pesto and Why You Should Eat More Arugula
Last week in my CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) box I had a mysterious bag of lettuce. I wasn’t exactly sure what it was so I grabbed a leaf and began to chew. Whoa!! It was peppery! After many hours of watching the Food Network I knew that peppery lettuce had to be Arugula. The only…

Turnip Cauliflower Mash and the Health Benefits of Turnips

Chocolate Muffins in a Minute (Low Carb and Gluten Free)
Throughout the years I’ve been low carbing I’ve never really been a fan of Muffins in a Minute (MIMs). The low carb MIMs I have tried in the past were usually spongy and never really appealed to me. Well, the desire to have a quick breakfast (or dessert) muffin forced me to create a MIM…
Pistachio and Herb Tapenade Pork Chops (Low Carb and Paleo)
Pork Chops make an appearance on our dinner table quite often so I like to try different things to add some variety to our plates. Tapenade is basically a pesto or paste made from olives.

Zucchini Lasagna (Low Carb and Dairy Free)
I’ve been lactose intolerant for about 10 years now and most of the time I don’t really feel like I’m missing out on anything because I can’t eat cheese, cream, etc. But every once in awhile I get the urge to to revamp dishes that contain dairy into dairy free versions. I made dairy free…
Bacon Wrapped Green Beans
I’m definitely a fan of wrapping things in bacon! As you can tell from my Bacon Wrapped Chicken Thighs and my Bacon Wrapped Butternut Squash Bites.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts (Low Carb and Paleo)
I’ve always thought these little veggies were called Brussel Sprouts. Little did I know they are actually called Brussels Sprouts, which makes sense since they originate from Brussels. These tiny veggies have people all over the world divided. It seems as if your either love them or you hate them….there is no middle ground. When…
Glazed Coconut Cakes (Low Carb)

Cioppino (Seafood Stew)
This time of year I always enjoy trying out new seafood dishes. I haave been hearing a lot about Cioppino, which is a fish stew that originated in San Fransisco. The good thing about this stew is that you can use the base and add whatever seafood you enjoy. I recommend a thicker cut of…
Asian Style “Noodles” (Low Carb and Paleo)
It’s always good to have a variety of ways to prepare vegetables so that you do not get stuck in a rut. I have really enjoyed spaghetti squash this winter, but I usually end up just making spaghetti with it. I decided to step outside of my comfort zone and make an Asian style noodle…

Mint “Cheesecake” Brownies (Low Carb and Dairy Free)
Once of my favorite combinations is brownie and cheesecake. Since I’m dairy free I’ve had to get creative with the cheesecake portion of my recipes.

Corned Beef and Cabbage Stew (Low Carb and Paleo)
I’m part Irish, so growing up my mom made two things every year for St. Patrick’s Day: Corned Beef & Cabbage and Irish Soda Bread. As a kid I never really liked either of those dishes. The cabbage always tasted funny and the Iris soda bread wasn’t sweet enough. Though I’m sure if I ate…
Dijon Pork Breakfast Skillet (Low Carb and Paleo)
Dijon Pork Breakfast Skillet Today’s recipe is Dijon Pork Breakfast Skillet, which is perfect for breakfast, and is paleo and low carb. My favorite breakfasts are ones I can make using one pan.

I can’t believe it’s finally here! I have been working hard for months developing/testing recipes, taking photos, and editing the book and it’s finally ready for all of you.
