Low-Carb, Gluten-Free Recipe

My idol, Peg Bracken (author of the 1960s bestseller The I Hate To Cook Book) suggested Irish Coffee as the all-purpose dessert. As she pointed out, by combining dessert, coffee, and after-dinner drinks, it saves remarkable wear-and-tear on the hostess. Of course, you can drink it just because you like it, too! If you turn on the coffee maker as you sit down to dinner, you can serve this quite quickly afterward.

Every taste is an acquired taste. If you’ve just recently gone low-carb, say as a New Year’s resolution, you may be overwhelmed by the sheer difference from your old diet. I encourage you to do so rather than using low-carb breads and such to make your low-carb diet resemble your old diet. Those can be useful. Bridge foods helping you to find a new normal, but not only are they, yes, processed foods often overpriced and sometimes deceptively labeled.
