Di Bauer 1,519

Who said cranberry is just for Thanksgiving? When Low-Carb Gluten-Free cranberries are fresh and in season, I buy extra so I can stock my freezer for year round use! A low-carb cranberry relish can be used as far more than a side dish. It makes a great topping for ice cream or low-carb pancakes and is super tasty mixed into some Greek yogurt. But my favorite use by far for cranberry relish, is on top of a burger. Try it and I guarantee you'll be hooked.

Nearly Naked Lamb Patties Low-Carb, Keto, Gluten-Free Recipe

Di Bauer 1,210

I'm almost embarrassed to call this a recipe. The truth is that lamb has a very unique flavor and adding a lot of ingredients to a lamb patty only muddies the flavors. I would rather have lightly seasoned lamb patties that highlights the lamb. You can add toppings to the burger which can enhance the flavor of the meat or you can simply serve more seasoned side dishes with it to compliment the flavor of the lamb. Personally, I prefer the later. Whichever you choose, these Keto Low-Carb Gluten-Free Nearly Naked Lamb Patties are sure to please!

Di Bauer 1,367

Nothing is easier than throwing together a Simple Italian Tossed Salad to compliment a meal. If you're in a rush, make your life a little easier and use the pre-washed bagged Italian salad. You can add anything you want to it and it makes a lovely presentation. Save the “goodies” like cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes, etc., for a meal that does not already include 2 cooked vegetables.

Fish Florentine Low-Carb, Keto, Gluten-Free Recipe

Di Bauer 1,613

Fish Florentine is not only quick and easy to prepare, but it is incredibly healthy - Low-Carb and Gluten-Free. You get iron from the spinach as well as omega fatty acids from the fish. The taste is so good that it will even tempt those who may not usually enjoy spinach or fish! If you're not a fan of Sole, try substituting your favorite fish in its place. Flounder also works very well in this recipe.
