I tried konjac rice once while doing low carb, back when I first started and bought a bulk amount. I was missing rice, not so much the taste, but the way it soaks up sauces from stir fries and curries. So the konjac rice sounded perfect to use as a replacement. Unfortunately I hated it…

Chocolate Mousse Cake
I’m really proud of this Chocolate Mousse Cake because it’s the first dessert I’ve made that wasn’t a cheesecake or using Fathead, as well as my first real baking attempt using almond meal in place of flour! I’ve been so intimidated about making proper type cakes and subbing almond meal or coconut flour because I…
Zucchini Fettucine with Lamb, Spinach and Feta Sauce
A pretty simple throw together meal that is like Bolognese with a bit of a twist using lamb and feta. This recipe uses my Homemade Passata recipe but if you use store bought passata you will need to add some more flavours like garlic, onion, basil etc. so you don’t get a bland tasting dish….
Asian Chicken Patties
These are lovely little chicken patties that are very simple to make. They can be served as snacks or with a side for a main meal. I love eating these just on their own with the shallots. They go really well with eggs too! They use Asian style flavours with some stevia glycerite to sub…
Kara-age
Kara-age is basically Japanese schnitzel or fried chicken and it is a regular item on the menu at most Japanese restaurants and sushi places. It has an addictive flavour and I prefer it served with just simple salad. Some Homemade Mayo on the side as a dipper would also work really well! Usually Kara-age is…
Marble Jelly Cheesecake
I toyed with the notion of making this Marble Jelly Cheesecake because generally I try to stay away from artificial sweeteners and while sugar free jelly is an incredibly low carb sweet treat, it happens to have a ton of those artificial sweeteners! In the end though, I decided to test it out as I…
Sugar Free Gummy Bears and Snakes
These Sugar Free Gummy Bears and Snakes were something I’d been wanting to try for ages. I’m not a huge fan of gummies myself but my brother is in love with them and I wanted to be able to make some that I could give him WITHOUT the massive amounts of sugars, artificial sweeteners, artificial…
Steak with Creamy Caper Sauce
Really simple dish that can be whipped up quickly and easily, but is also full of flavour. The sauce has a very strong flavour straight out of the pan, but tastes fantastic when drizzled over the steak and broccolini. If you like you can sub regular broccoli instead of the broccolini. I like my steak…
Japanese Burgers
Burgers are really popular in Japan and served in all different ways. These are super simple, very low carb and taste delicious. Radish is commonly used in Japanese cooking and these burgers taste fantastic with it. The radish doesn’t have the sharp bite you would expect. For this you use dried shiitake mushrooms that have…
Almond Crust Satay Chicken
I finally took the plunge and ventured away from peanut butter! That’s right, after over a year on low carb I’ve only had peanuts 2 or 3 times. I love peanuts but as a legume and technically not a nut, they can be inflammatory and so should be avoided. But there are so many low…
