It's Almost Spring! Time for Eggs! -  I just love eggs. I am fortunate to be able to get a weekly share of super-fresh eggs from a local farm, and they are delicious.

New Video: Low-Carb Flax Bread - 
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video must be worth...well, even more! There is a new video on my site demonstrating how to make my flax meal bread. It's really easy, too! I call this "focaccia"-style bread because it is baked flat on a sheet pan, and then cut up into whatever sized pieces you want. This video demonstrates how it is made. For written instructions, check out the Recipe for Low-Carb Flax Bread.

Low-Carb Foods for Lent -  Do you follow certain food traditions for Lent? Perhaps you forgo meat on certain days, or animal products altogether. There's no doubt that the tendency is to substitute high-carbohydrate foods in place of the protein, but it needn't be that way. One thing to do is to eat more fat if you're cutting back on protein. For example, add more oil in your salad dressings and vegetables. Also, find high-protein substitutes for meat dishes. I have recipes on this site to help, and you can also check out this collection of Lenten recipes compiled by About.com's Guide to Catholicism, Scott Richert. There are some good low-carb ideas as well as those higher in carbs.
