It is a wonder that hibiscus tea has not caught on in the United States. Hugely popular through the Caribbean, in Africa, Southeast Asia, and in the Middle East, it is a glorious, brilliant red with a tart and fruity flavor. Hibiscus tea also has health benefits, including but not limited to lowering blood pressure and blood sugar. It is also loaded with antioxidants.

This is the time of year when people go absolutely looney for Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte coffee drinks BUT they don't want all the added sugar and poor ingredients Starbucks uses.

What you get is a creamier, smoother hot coffee drink with half the calories and 2g of net carbs instead of 52g!

Bottled Caesar dressing is so often harsh, but this is rich and mellow. In the Fat Fast Caesar Dressing Recipe from Fat Fast Cookbook 2, I used two anchovies because I only like a hint of them, but my husband, an anchovy fiend, said he’d love it with another anchovy or two.

Nothing is more refreshing on a hot summer day than a nice cold glass of Low-Carb Iced Tea. I like to incorporate the flavors of summer into my tea and my favorite is Sugar-Free Peach Iced Tea. Of course, if peach isn't your thing you can use your favorite fruit flavor. I suggest making this tea the night before so you give the flavors time to marry. If you're having a party and you want something with a little kick, feel free to add a dash of tequila to the glass and you can call it a low-carb margarita.

Mulling Spices are perfect for creating mulled cider, wines, or teas. This aromatic blend of spices is a great choice for everything from holiday parties to warming your insides after a long day of sledding.
