LOWER CARBOHYDRATE RECIPE SUGGESTIONS

Table of Contents: Lower Carbohydrate Recipes

RECIPES WILL BE DENOTED by:  *Low Carb

Recently I have had a request, well actually it sounded more like a plea for help, for some suggestions of recipes that are lower in carbohydrates.   Please, please, please keep in mind that I am NOT a dietitian, NOT a nutritionist, NOT a home economist.

I am just a wife, a mother, a sister, and a grandmother that enjoys cooking and conjuring-up new and hopefully good recipes.  And then, only when I’m in the mood; otherwise, we’ll be going out for dinner!

The gentleman asking for suggestions is participating in Alabama’s newest weight loss program called “Scale Back Alabama”.  He said that he had 10 weeks to go to loose his desired weight and had run out of ideas. Could I please help?

You may have to add and subtract ingredients from these recipes to suit the particular diet that you are following.   But, if you have carefully studied your diet literature, you will be able to adapt these recipes both successfully and deliciously.

Now, I love to “talk about recipes” with anyone remotely interested, but I have been given some mighty lectures about  “using butter when margarine is better for you” or “using margarine when butter is better for you”, ad nauseaum …..
