Dana Carpender 887

Recently, on a website I frequent, there was a discussion of Halloween plans. There I first encountered the concept of "trunk-or-treat," a Halloween event that is apparently gaining popularity across the country.

Zapple Wedges with Jicama Low-Carb, Keto, Gluten-Free Recipe

Di Bauer 594

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.

Kentucky Hot Brown (Hot Turkey Sandwich) Low-Carb Keto Gluten-Free Recipe

Di Bauer 1,107

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.

Low-Carb Caesar Salad Dressing Recipe

Andrew DiMino 1,420

Though Caesar dressing is so simple to make, most people purchase it bottled from their local grocery store. This recipe comes together in minutes and is so rich, creamy, and delicious that you'll wonder why you didn't make your own before now! Not only is the main component of a Caesar salad, but it makes a spectacular marinade for both fish and chicken.

Di Bauer 1,055

One my favorite things about this Low-Carb Gluten-Free pork roast recipe is that it makes 2 delicious meals. You get to enjoy the first meal while the second meals cools. Then just pop it in the freezer for serving at a later date. Though this recipe requires a bit more preparation than most of my meals, I can promise you it's worth it!

Low-Carb Keto Fish Fillets Almandine Recipe

Di Bauer 1,341

Fish Fillets Almandine is pretty versatile. I chose Halibut because it is a thicker, meatier, fish but you can feel free to use whichever type of white fish you prefer. Haddock, Cod, and Sole also work very well in this recipe. The seasonings are all to taste so that we don't lose the fresh flavor of the fish. The almonds add a nice crunch and give the recipe more texture.
