Because I happen to know that a huge number of you will have leftover ham in the house come Sunday night, and most of you will have hardboiled eggs on hand, too. Since low carbers ain't gonna eat ham sandwiches, or egg salad sandwiches, either, I thought I'd come up with a couple of new recipes to help you clear out the fridge without messing up your diet. Here they are!

It's egg season! We tend to forget, because of battery egg farming techniques, that eggs really are a seasonal food - kept in natural lighting conditions, hens lay far fewer eggs in the winter, and more in the spring and summer. That's why eggs are associated with Easter: They've been a symbol of spring since - well, forever.

Cauliflower is the low carber's best friend. (Well, after meat and eggs.) Why? Because it stands in for so many other things, and does the job so well.

Many of us agree. Salt is easily the most popular seasoning. There's a good reason for this: Salt is an essential nutrient; without it we'll die.
