Dana Carpender 1,728

Keto Low-Carb Anchovy & Olive Crackers started with a recipe I saw in a Spanish cookbook. I wasn't going to use wheat flour, of course, but the flavor combination seemed interesting -- and it is!

Of all the things people miss when they start eating low-carb/keto, perhaps the biggest gap is crunchy snacks. So when I saw InnoFoods Keto Crackers, and gluten-free Keto Crackers at that, at my local Aldi, I figured, “What the heck? Try ‘em.”

Dana Carpender 1,577

Do you know how much I love you guys? I love you so much that when I discovered that my Mastercook program had somehow eaten this recipe, I looked it up in 1001 Low-Carb Recipes and typed it all in again. This is a little carby, but so unusual, delicious, and seasonally appropriate that I wanted to get it to you while the little sugar pumpkins are still in the grocery stores. This would make a fine side dish with simple, warmed-up leftover turkey.

Low-Carb Tequila Highballs are a Sugar-Free Summer Treat

Dana Carpender 3,113

For a long time, my tipple of choice has been dry red wine–Cabernet, Shiraz, Malbec, and the like, the dryer the better. Also, the occasional quality tequila sipped slowly. However, pleasant though they may be, neither of these falls into the “long, cool drink” category. I have, as the weather warmed up, found myself drawn back to the good, old-fashioned highball–a shot of liquor and a mixer over ice. I have come up with a few I enjoy tremendously, and thought I would share.

This Low-Carb Mixed Veggie Stuffed Burgers is a way to sneak a few veggies into that special someone who may dislike them (like kids... or your spouse). Don't let the name fool you - while not stuffed to the brim, you do notice the nice mix of flavors without it overpowering the burger. When I had my hubby try this, his reply was “ Oh yeah! Mmmmmm!” Translated, that's “Heck ya! Gimme More!” in hubby speak.

Amy Dungan 1,890

Keto Low-Carb Spicy Avocado Dip (Spicy Guacamole) is a simple appetizer or dip that will work well to tame those “When is the food gonna be done?” questions. And the beauty is that you can fix it up ahead of time to reduce some of the heavy lifting on the day of your cookout. This recipe fits my small family, but it's easy to double, or triple, this recipe for bigger crowds.
