Low carb love

I thought that maybe people might want to learn about what we eat.

So I thought I would provide links to the recipes I use.

so here is the Bacon & Egg Quiche recipe I use.  So I always thought when I saw the words ‘heavy cream’ in a recipe that it was thickened cream but in the USA it’s just pure cream!  I cook it in a rectangular dish so it’s great to carry while running.  mmm yum

We are both pretty no fuss creatures of habit as far as breakfast goes we have bacon and eggs every single day.  Having said that I made myself a vegie scramble today as I just felt like something a little different.  At the moment I am still working night duty so I need great nourishing snacks and my go to snacks at the moment are either Low-carb chia breakfast Cinnamon coconut is my fave or Fennel and Ginger Grain free granola both on the Ditch the carbs site linked below.  The granola is very fiddly but soo worth the effort.

The other great low carb/keto recipe sites I have found are Mad Creations, Wholesome yum, Ditch the Carbs and Low Carb Love.  They all have different great recipes.  I just pick and choose depending on what I want to make at the time.

Mad Creations has THE BEST keto ice cream recipe that is sooooo easy and so creamy.

I have also rediscovered my slow cooker, in fact, I purchased a bigger one $35 at Woolies.  Can’t beat that right!.  There’s nothing better than chucking all the ingredients into the slow cooker, set & go and come back to a house filled with awesome aromas!

So two books I use a lot are Easy low-carb slow cooking by Robin Donovan (subtitled A prep-and-go cookbook for ketogenic, paleo & LCHF diets) and low-carb meals in minutes by Linda Gassenheimer cause my beloved likes to be able to prepare meals with a minimum of fuss and time.  He is a great cook and does probably 60% of the meals in our home.  I like to make bitsy, fiddly things like Mad Creations’ savoury crackers or chocolate caramel slice.  So we are a good team, that way we are fed and there are always a few treats in the house.

For electrolyte replacement while running we are currently using Endura low carb it tastes great not too sweet.  We used a lot of different other drink options when not low carb and found after hours of sipping on them they became very unpalatable.
