When I began removing all the processed foods from our pantry, I was very hesitant to let go of my Huy Fong Sriracha sauce. But as I read the ingredient label, I knew it had to go. So what's a girl to do when her favorite condiment is no longer allowable? She begins experimenting and makes her own. Bear in mind that most sriracha is fermented. Because I don't have the patience to wait, I created a version that does not require the fermentation process. This Low-Carb Gluten-Free sriracha sauce will last about 2 weeks in the fridge or much longer in the pantry if you can it. You can of course make a big old mess of wings and use it up immediately.

Nothing is more refreshing on a hot summer day than a nice cold glass of Low-Carb Iced Tea. I like to incorporate the flavors of summer into my tea and my favorite is Sugar-Free Peach Iced Tea. Of course, if peach isn't your thing you can use your favorite fruit flavor. I suggest making this tea the night before so you give the flavors time to marry. If you're having a party and you want something with a little kick, feel free to add a dash of tequila to the glass and you can call it a low-carb margarita.

I prefer a light and refreshing Low-Carb dessert after a heavy meal and fresh fruit is usually my preference. If you don't care for my fruit choices, feel free to substitute with your own favorite low glycemic fruits for the Cantaloupe Wedges. Adding the Swerve Granular Sweetener to the fruit gives it a bit of extra sweetness as well as macerate the fruit which allows the natural sweetness to shine. I have found that frozen organic blueberries work best in this recipe.

Many of my friends have gardens or farms, Which is a very good thing because I have a very black thumb. I have come to rely on the bounty of produce they gift me each summer and fall. My family will not eat plain old tomatoes but we will all eat Low-Carb Gluten-Free salsa. This recipe is my answer to no tomatoes on our salads. I like the more subtle taste of Serrano peppers, but if you prefer jalapenos then go for it. If you are a canning person, go ahead and make as much as you like and can it for use in future months or to save for hostess gifts. I promise your host will thank you for it!

This Traditional Greek Vinaigrette Dressing Low-Carb Gluten-Free Recipe was my first attempt at recipe creating, primarily because I don't care for the taste of store-bought dressing. This vinaigrette can be used as a dressing or as a marinade. I like to marinate chicken in it overnight. Not only does the chicken come out flavorful, but it's incredibly moist. Enjoy!
