In an effort to find more vegetables my son might like I’ve been trying to make veggie fries. I started with rutabagas, then jicama and lastly celeriac or celery root. These easy, healthy low carb fries were a winner with me and my hubby but my son was not yet convinced. But let me tell you, off the three, the celery root made the best fries. They are not as bitter and earthy as are other root vegetables and have a great consistency inside. This vegetable is definitely going to be on our table more often!

Quite a while back I had a popular recipe for sausage & cheese muffins that both my hubby and I loved. They were a very tasty breakfast or snack to have on hand for low carb dieting. As I’ve been talking about lately, we are cleaning up our diet and have eliminated nuts and dairy for while to see how we feel. Well that takes out those tasty muffins that use almond flour and cheese. So I came up with these delicious low carb sausage egg muffins in it’s place. I use coconut flour and no cheese so each muffin only has 0.7g net carbs and 70 cals!

I’ve been craving this recipe for awhile now. I bought these little cups at the dollar store and used them for my low carb jelly bean gelatin and since then have wanted to make an appetizer with them. I thought they would be perfect for a 1 serving Cinco de Mayo dish.

The result was so good that we ate these Mexican shrimp cocktail cups for dinner! My husband ate a few in a tortilla and I ate mine right out of the cup because you know how I like to eat out of a cup.;) Best of all for me is that each cup is only 2.0g net carbs (and that’s with 2 shrimp)!

If you are missing those tasty, crunchy bits of bread on your salad, try these seasoned garlic keto croutons! You only need 4 ingredients to make these low carb croutons that are full of flavor. Only 0.3g net carb per serving.

These low carb croutons are made from halloumi cheese. Not only do they get lots of flavor from the garlic and seasonings, but the cheese itself has a great texture for salads. While they are not crunchy, they are chewy and salty and a great substitute for bread croutons.
