How to Be a Well-Bread Low-carber

The Low-Carb Cook's Nook Presents...
Hey, man, can you spare some BREAD?

What is the most common answer to this question:
"I love this diet, but I really miss _____"?
The answer is "BREAD."
No matter how you slice it,
regular bread just isn't part of the LC way of eating.
Isn't that crumby?
So don't loaf about...
Get your buns over to the lowcarbcooksnook for our chat topic, Low-carb bread ALTERNATIVES! We'll talk about LC bread products on the market, as well as make-it-yourself alternatives including bread machine recipes, muffins, tortillas, dumplings, biscuits, cornbread, quickbreads and more.
No, it doesn't go against the grain.
Let's rock and roll!

A Saucy Little Chat!

The Low-carb Cook's Nook Presents
A Saucy Little Chat!
The basics of our diet are pretty simple:
meats, eggs, veggies, nuts, low-GI fruits, and low-carb dairy, right?
We call it our WOE or WOL, Way of Eating/Way of Life.
Well, for many of us,
plain old chicken or fish or beef or pork can get boring after a while.

Take a peek at this week's topic: sauces, gravies, and toppings.
What can we do to perk up our meals without carbing them up?

We will discuss ways and products for making and thickening gravies, recipes and food combinations that might be new to you: the tricks of getting saucy in your Low-carb Cookery.
