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.

Nothing says low-carb like bacon! This Low-Carb Gluten-Free Hot Bacon Dressing recipe is going to become a fast favorite! Added to greens or red leaf lettuce, it makes a beautiful wilted salad. It also makes a nice dipping sauce.
