It doesn’t matter if you’re Italian (Sicilian actually) like me or just the average American–we all love pizza. Before our dedication to low carb living, I’m sure we all had pizza at least once per week (and more likely 2 or 3 times each week). But all that pizza crust probably was a major contributor to our obesity before low carbing. That’s why when LC Foods asked me to review their Fresh Baked Low Carb Pizza Shells I was ready–boy was I ready.

This makes two Garlicky Creamed Mushrooms Fat-Fast “feedings” - warm the second one up in the microwave. Or, if you prefer, add one serving to a steak or chop for a family member who is not Fat-Fasting. Up to you.

Some people will not want to take the little extra time to make this pancake mix but if I'm going to get a better flavor, then what's a few extra minutes?

Jack, Almonds & Pumpkin Seeds LC-Snack Pack by LC Foods has only 3 ingredients–freeze dried Monterey jack cheese, dry roasted unsalted pumpkin seeds (pepitas) & dry roasted unsalted almonds. I like each ingredient separately but will I like them together as a mix? Of course I will. Here's why.

As low carbers, we are so used to not having bread that the thought of having an actual submarine sandwich is too foreign to us. I remember the amazing sub sandwiches I would get in my hometown of Rochester, NY, but they were definitely not low carb. That’s why when LC Foods asked me to review their Low Carb Fresh Baked Sub Rolls, I couldn’t wait. LC Foods sells these pre-made sub rolls in a package of 3. They come ready to eat, each one weighing about 13 oz. They look, feel and smell like real sub rolls, but only have 3 net carbs per 1/2 roll. How do they accomplish this? By using resistant starches as their main ingredients.
