I love zucchini noodles and I eat them all the time. To be honest, I make my family pasta and I eat the zoodles. I haven’t won them over yet with the zoodles. Anyway, I was in the mood for a good creamy sauce for my zoodles when I remembered that many low carb recipes use cream cheese to make sauces and though I’d give it a try.

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!

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)!
