Crispy Low-Carb High-Fat Treats From the Microwave

Sometimes you want something crispy. And crispy doesn’t necessarily mean the crunch of fresh lettuce. Sometimes crispy means something fried. One thing that low-carb high-fat diets don’t provide a lot of options for is alternatives to crackers and fried chips. Even the things that you bake tend to be either a little bit on the…

Invincible Coconut Chai Tea for Low-Carb High-Fat Diets

I love to follow the trends in popular nutrition. Lately I’ve been reading a lot about the Bulletproof Executive Diet, and in particular the new drink that’s becoming popular among my office mates, coffee with melted butter in it. Among the things that the people who follow the Bulletproof Executive say about their drink is that it…

Low-Carb High-Fat Coconut Snickerdoodles

I was feeling like something sweet this morning. It was probably more habit than actual appetite. Normally on my low-carb high-fat diet I don’t feel like anything sweet. The diet tends to suppress the appetite for sweets, so I don’t find myself craving a lot of things. But it was a hot, lazy morning, and…

Low-Carb High-Fat Cooking With Shirataki Noodles

You may have noticed people talking about shirataki noodles lately. These noodles are made out of vegetable fiber, and they contain virtually no carbohydrates, but they have a texture and consistency vaguely similar to noodles in the mouth. To be honest, they’re a little bit chewier, almost crunchy, but not quite. In my opinion, when…

Low-Carb High-Fat Latkes

Latkes are pan fried vegetable pancakes that harken back to my family’s Eastern European…

Low Carb High Fat Almond Shortbread Cookies

I used to be a baker, and despite the health advantages and the wide range of new food options, one of the things I miss while being on a low carb high fat diet is the time I used to spend baking. Over the years, I developed a number of very useful techniques. Now that…

Low-Carb High-Fat Moussaka

Sometimes a traditional dish turns out to be very easy to convert to a low-carb high-fat version. One of my husband’s favorite dishes to cook is moussaka. This is usually an eggplant or potato based dish, built around meat and tomato sauce, and served either warm or cold. Just by tweaking a few of the…

Creamy Low Carb High Fat Coconut Flour Cake

(Be sure to see the notes at the bottom for the latest updates to this recipe!) Since I’ve been following a low-carb high-fat diet, I haven’t really found myself craving sweets. The pattern I follow includes a six-hour cheat window once every week or two. If I ever feel the need for something that’s not…
