Sometimes, you need a no-fuss way to deal with dinner. This is when a one dish meal comes in handy. My Packet Up Dijon Fish Fillets are Low-Carb, Gluten-Free, delicious and nutritious and take less time to make then it will take for you to pick up carry-out. During the hot summer months when you don't want to heat up the house, you can throw the packets on the grill. Here's the exciting part-you don't even have dirty your plates. You can serve the meal in its foil packet!

On a hot summer day the thought of cooking is incomprehensible. This is when the freezer section of my grocery store becomes my best friend. Instead of standing at the kitchen counter cleaning and preparing the shrimp, I simply purchase it already prepared and frozen. You can do your own prep of the shrimp during cooler months and freeze it yourself, but let's be honest, none of us is really thinking about summer menu planning in February. This Simple Shrimp Salad Low-Carb Gluten-Free Recipe is light and refreshing and the perfect meal for the dog days of summer.

This Low-Carb Gluten-Free Southwestern Breakfast Casserole is delicious and perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a brunch for friends and family. Because it cooks in the crock pot, you can go about your day while it cooks. It also stays fresh very well in the refrigerator if you want to make it on a Sunday and use it for a week's worth of breakfasts.

This Low-Carb Keto Gluten-Free Lemon Garlic Chicken Breast recipe is special because it allows you to cook for a larger crowd, or to freeze leftovers for use in the future. In the variations, I have listed other recipes in which you can use these delectable chicken breasts. This is one of my favorite recipes not only because it allows me to cook and freeze, but because these chicken breasts have a bit of zing to them and because they are broiled, they tend to stay very moist inside.

This Lemon French Dressing Low-Carb Gluten-Free recipe is perfect for any type of salad. It is tangy and refreshing and a definite crowd-pleaser. I like to keep some on hand at all times. It also makes a great marinade for chicken or fish.

Sunshine Cantaloupe is a fun and whimsical dessert recipe. It's a great make-ahead recipe and stays fresh in the refrigerator for several days. You can use any flavor sugar-free Jell-O gelatin you like and I guarantee that young children will go crazy for this dessert.

Apples tend to be pretty high in sugar so I try to avoid them as much as possible. However, Low-Carb jicama slices (zapple) soaked in a fruit flavored drink mix, give me the same textural mouth feel and crunch as an apple without all the sugar of an apple. Jicama has become very popular so finding it at your local supermarket shouldn't be difficult. Many times you can find it pre-cleaned and sliced. If you can find it that way, go for it!

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!
