Most of us think side dish when thinking about slaws. But I'm here to tell you that a slaw can be transformed into a wonderful main dish just by adding a few ingredients. This is a very flexible Low-Carb, Keto, Gluten-Free Lemon Garlic Chicken Slaw Recipe with several optional ingredients that you can add if you have them on hand and leave out if you don’t. It’s a great take-along lunch, quick dinner, or snack.

This Low-Carb Keto Gluten-Free Lemon Garlic Chicken Breast recipe is special because it allows you to cook for a larger crowd, or to freeze leftovers for use in the future. In the variations, I have listed other recipes in which you can use these delectable chicken breasts. This is one of my favorite recipes not only because it allows me to cook and freeze, but because these chicken breasts have a bit of zing to them and because they are broiled, they tend to stay very moist inside.

Fish is a great meal choice because it contains lots of healthy fatty acids. But as we know, healthy does not mean bland. This Low-Carb Gluten-Free Broiled Flounder with Zesty Lime Cream is absolutely divine! It is rich, creamy, and refreshing.

This Lemon French Dressing Low-Carb Gluten-Free recipe is perfect for any type of salad. It is tangy and refreshing and a definite crowd-pleaser. I like to keep some on hand at all times. It also makes a great marinade for chicken or fish.

Sunshine Cantaloupe is a fun and whimsical dessert recipe. It's a great make-ahead recipe and stays fresh in the refrigerator for several days. You can use any flavor sugar-free Jell-O gelatin you like and I guarantee that young children will go crazy for this dessert.

Apples tend to be pretty high in sugar so I try to avoid them as much as possible. However, Low-Carb jicama slices (zapple) soaked in a fruit flavored drink mix, give me the same textural mouth feel and crunch as an apple without all the sugar of an apple. Jicama has become very popular so finding it at your local supermarket shouldn't be difficult. Many times you can find it pre-cleaned and sliced. If you can find it that way, go for it!

Sometimes you just don't feel like a hot side dish. For those times, a simple side salad with low-carb croutons is the perfect answer. I have chosen a Paleo bread for the croutons, which is all natural as well as low-carb and gluten-free. If you have a different bread you prefer, please feel free to use it.

Kentucky Hot Brown is a traditional recipe for a hot turkey sandwich. It can be served as an entrée or a sandwich. If I'm making a sandwich, I like to roll it up in a large Romaine leaf instead of using low-carb bread, but the choice is yours. It's delicious any time of year, but remember it's also a great way to use up your turkey leftovers after Thanksgiving.

Nothing tops a salad better than a nice tasty low-carb crouton. If you're like me, you want the extra crunch and you want it without all the chemicals and preservatives in commercial brands. Best yet, if stored properly, these low-carb croutons will last up to 6 weeks!

Occasionally, I miss bread-bread sticks to be more specific. This Crunchy Sesame Garlic Bread Stick recipe satisfies that craving every time. They are pretty simple to prepare and are best served hot out of the oven. The best part is that any non-low carbers in the family will never miss the real thing!
