This low carb shredded Asian beef is another one of those recipes that tastes better than it looks. My husband took a look at this post as I was writing it and said the same thing. So bare with me here and imagine a shredded beef dish that has a sweet Asian sauce much like Mongolian beef you get at a Chinese restaurant.

This is a recipe that is perfect for the Instant Pot or even a slow cooker. Just brown the meat, pour over the sauce and let it cook away. You can eat this over rice, cauliflower rice or as is. You could even make a really good sandwich if you aren’t watching your carbs.

When I was growing up my grandma used to make a dish called kofta which was like a burger shaped like a hotdog and put on a skewer to be grilled. I was in the mood for kofta and thought I’d share it on my blog. However they are not that attractive looking to be honest, so I decided to shape them into patties and call them grilled Middle Eastern Lamb burgers. They are very flavorful and you can eat them without a bun therefore making them an easy low carb dinner!

First of all have you ever had fattoush? It’s the Middle Eastern version of the Italian panzanella salad. Usually it is made of cucumber, tomatoes and other vegetables with pieces of fried pita bread in it. It also uses a spice called sumac. I made some fattoush recently for my sister’s dinner party and I remembered how much I like it. However you know I try to keep it low carb so the pita bread is out. So today I substituted the chicken for the bread and it came out wonderful! My husband scarfed it up for dinner!

It’s all about zucchini in the summertime. It seems to be the easiest thing to grow and the most prolific. However my husband will only eat it fried and my son will only eat it in the form of zucchini bread (and that’s a new development). So I end up eating most of it or trying to sneak it in dishes where they can’t see it (meatloaf for instance). This summer I’m trying to find more things to do with those big green clubs in hopes my family will jump on board and start to like zucchini too. So I came up with these savory zucchini waffles.
