Raspberry Vinaigrette is one of my favorite Low-Carb Gluten-Free salad dressings. In the summer time, I use fresh berries compliments of my neighbor's garden (shhhhh...don't tell her). I am not willing to pay the price for fresh berries shipped in from who knows where in the winter, so I buy the frozen, organic raspberries from my local grocery store. This dressing is light and fresh and always puts a smile on my face.

I’ve come up with the occasional grocery store game. My favorite is “Count The Sugar.” I’ll grab an item generally purported to be healthful and count the varieties of sugar in it. For example, the folks at Metamucil have been touting their Meta Health Bars as a wholesome alternative to candy or cookies, stating outright that they are “heart healthy” and implying – though never actually saying – that they will aid weight loss. So when I saw Meta Health Bars at the cash register on a day when there was a considerable line, I grabbed one and played the Count The Sugar game.

It doesn’t matter if you’re Italian (Sicilian actually) like me or just the average American–we all love pizza. Before our dedication to low carb living, I’m sure we all had pizza at least once per week (and more likely 2 or 3 times each week). But all that pizza crust probably was a major contributor to our obesity before low carbing. That’s why when LC Foods asked me to review their Fresh Baked Low Carb Pizza Shells I was ready–boy was I ready.

This makes two Garlicky Creamed Mushrooms Fat-Fast “feedings” - warm the second one up in the microwave. Or, if you prefer, add one serving to a steak or chop for a family member who is not Fat-Fasting. Up to you.
