Tandoori seasoning that can be used guilt free without having to worry about added nasties. Unfortunately it seems spice blends often have sugar, starches or seed oils added and often they will have all three! But you can make your own spice blends to use without having to worry about whether anything extra has been…

Low Carb Fish Pie
This Low Carb Fish Pie is adapted from Jamie Oliver’s Fantastic Fish Pie recipe and has been totally converted to a low carb compliant version! A simple yet extremely tasty pie, this Low Carb Fish Pie was brilliant and it was actually a bit difficult not to have some more from the pie dish. I…
Baked Custard
This Baked Custard comes from my Portuguese Custard Tart recipe and uses the custard filling. I had some leftover when I made the tarts so thought since the custard is the best part anyway, lets try making just that! These turned out brilliantly and the carbs were quite a bit lower than the Portuguese Custard…
Pastéis de Nata (Portuguese Custard Tarts)
This recipe is my childhood, except without all the sugar and wheat flour! I spent my whole life eating these at every important occasion as well as having batches made for school events. This is based off my grandmother’s recipe, which is THE BEST! If you’ve only ever eaten shop bought Portuguese Custard Tarts then…
Fathead Cauliflower, Spinach and Feta Gozleme
I have always loved gozleme in all its forms and it was a food I bought frequently before going low carb and still one I missed a fair bit. I used to think that it was just that dough, if I could get around the dough somehow then I could make it. Then realised that…

Fathead Cinnamon Scrolls
My whole life I have LOVED cinnamon scrolls! I love the taste of the cinnamon swirl inside, there’s just something about it that tastes fantastic to me. Growing up, my grandmother usually made ‘Folar’ which is a Portuguese sweet Easter bread with cinnamon swirl through it. I remember trying to eat around the cinnamon parts…
Curried Konjac Noodles with Seafood
This is similar to a fried rice really, except with noodles and using mainly prawns and fish for protein. This is a really simple yet tasty stir fry, packed with vegetables and using konjac noodles. If you’re not a fan of konjac noodles, you can always sub zoodles instead but the carb count will be…
Homemade Ginger Paste
Although I usually don’t mind prepping ginger from scratch, the convenient tubes of ginger paste were another item I bought frequently and which I later found out were full of nasty added ingredients. This Ginger Paste gives you all the convenience without the sugar, starches and seed oils added in. Because it’s stored in the…
