Cauliflower is the low carber's best friend. (Well, after meat and eggs.) Why? Because it stands in for so many other things, and does the job so well. Most low carbers know about fauxtatoes - pureed cauliflower served in place of mashed potatoes. But that's only the beginning of cauliflower's many charms.

Many of us agree. Salt is easily the most popular seasoning. There's a good reason for this: Salt is an essential nutrient; without it we'll die. But just as Americans "know" that fat is bad for them, they "know" that salt is bad for them.

Clearly we can't count on bananas for our potassium! But where will we get it?

Thanksgiving was Thursday. Maybe you took an Indulgence Day, maybe - like a growing (or, more accurately, shrinking) group of low carbers, you kept on low carbing right through the feast. I heard from a lot of people who had fauxtatoes and sugar-free pumpkin pie. Regardless, you probably have some leftovers kicking around. You're not going to be eating turkey sandwiches, or at least I hope you're not. So what to do with your leftover bird?

As a Yankee, I'm used to stuffing made from wheat bread, but if your roots lie in the South, you've likely grown up on cornbread stuffing. You'll need to make your own cornbread if you want to keep the carbs reasonably low. Here's a lower carb recipe for a good Southern-style cornbread.
