Keto Low-Carb Anchovy & Olive Crackers started with a recipe I saw in a Spanish cookbook. I wasn't going to use wheat flour, of course, but the flavor combination seemed interesting -- and it is!

Do you know how much I love you guys? I love you so much that when I discovered that my Mastercook program had somehow eaten this recipe, I looked it up in 1001 Low-Carb Recipes and typed it all in again. This is a little carby, but so unusual, delicious, and seasonally appropriate that I wanted to get it to you while the little sugar pumpkins are still in the grocery stores. This would make a fine side dish with simple, warmed-up leftover turkey.

This Low-Carb Mixed Veggie Stuffed Burgers is a way to sneak a few veggies into that special someone who may dislike them (like kids... or your spouse). Don't let the name fool you - while not stuffed to the brim, you do notice the nice mix of flavors without it overpowering the burger. When I had my hubby try this, his reply was “ Oh yeah! Mmmmmm!” Translated, that's “Heck ya! Gimme More!” in hubby speak.



This Low-Carb Cajun Chicken Packets Recipe is one of my favorite methods of outdoor cuisine. Packet cooking can give you everything you need in a meal, with little hassle and virtually no clean-up.

Keto Low-Carb Spicy Avocado Dip (Spicy Guacamole) is a simple appetizer or dip that will work well to tame those “When is the food gonna be done?” questions. And the beauty is that you can fix it up ahead of time to reduce some of the heavy lifting on the day of your cookout. This recipe fits my small family, but it's easy to double, or triple, this recipe for bigger crowds.

One of their most popular products was Keto Ketato, a low-carb substitute for instant mashed potatoes. While I did not care for Keto Ketato made according to package instructions, I found small quantities of them wonderful for adding a believable potato texture and flavor to Low-Carb Fauxtatoes, aka pureed cauliflower.

Happy National Stuffed Mushroom Day! Here’s hoping you either have these things in the house or aren’t snowed in and can get to the grocery store. Both mushrooms and Parmesan cheese are rich sources of umami, making these mushrooms deliciously savory and satisfying. Triple or quadruple the recipe and you can take ‘em to parties!

Low Carb Thanksgiving Dinner can be a blessing or a curse. I still think that if you are going to have an Indulgence, you should indeed do so very infrequently, and that it is imperative to plan for it. It's the question of whether it's actually a good idea to accept this and build it into one's dietary life that I now question. Dana Carpender shares more Low Carb Thanksgiving tips and recipes for getting through the Thanksgiving holiday.
