Grilled Ranch Chicken (Low Carb and Gluten Free)

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

July 9, 2012 By Karen Sorenson

My latest cooking adventure was Low Carb Buffalo Chicken Burgers with Cucumber Slaw.  I mentioned before when I made the Grilled Buffalo Shrimp that I was obsessed with buffalo sauce and that hasn’t gone away yet.  My fiancé is not a fan of buffalo sauce, so I knew I needed to get in one more…

June 28, 2012 By Karen Sorenson

My latest cooking adventure was Low Carb Italian Style “Pasta” Salad.  Now that it is summer time I’ve been making a lot of salad recipes.  Most of my salad recipes contain mayonnaise, which isn’t good if the salad is going to be left outside for a long time.  I decided to come up with a…
