Sometimes you just don't feel like a hot side dish. For those times, a simple side salad with low-carb croutons is the perfect answer. I have chosen a Paleo bread for the croutons, which is all natural as well as low-carb and gluten-free. If you have a different bread you prefer, please feel free to use it.

Kentucky Hot Brown is a traditional recipe for a hot turkey sandwich. It can be served as an entrée or a sandwich. If I'm making a sandwich, I like to roll it up in a large Romaine leaf instead of using low-carb bread, but the choice is yours. It's delicious any time of year, but remember it's also a great way to use up your turkey leftovers after Thanksgiving.

Nothing tops a salad better than a nice tasty low-carb crouton. If you're like me, you want the extra crunch and you want it without all the chemicals and preservatives in commercial brands. Best yet, if stored properly, these low-carb croutons will last up to 6 weeks!

Occasionally, I miss bread-bread sticks to be more specific. This Crunchy Sesame Garlic Bread Stick recipe satisfies that craving every time. They are pretty simple to prepare and are best served hot out of the oven. The best part is that any non-low carbers in the family will never miss the real thing!

One my favorite things about this Low-Carb Gluten-Free pork roast recipe is that it makes 2 delicious meals. You get to enjoy the first meal while the second meals cools. Then just pop it in the freezer for serving at a later date. Though this recipe requires a bit more preparation than most of my meals, I can promise you it's worth it!

Fish Fillets Almandine is pretty versatile. I chose Halibut because it is a thicker, meatier, fish but you can feel free to use whichever type of white fish you prefer. Haddock, Cod, and Sole also work very well in this recipe. The seasonings are all to taste so that we don't lose the fresh flavor of the fish. The almonds add a nice crunch and give the recipe more texture.

This Low-Carb Gluten-Free Pizza Frittata recipe is perfect when you only have yourself to worry about feeding. It is a single serving of rich, gooey, yumminess. Most importantly, it doesn't take long to prepare. If you're in a rush, you can use canned or jarred mushrooms instead of fresh; if you do, there is no need to sauté them. You can also substitute your own favorite pizza toppings for those I've suggested. This frittata can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
