Brown Butter Cucumbers

I have to be honest and say that i was unsure how this would turn out the first time that i made this. That said, it has been added to the site, because it’s just that good.

The brown butter cucumber actually end up being more like a warm relish that you can add on top of whichever protein you’re cooking. The cucumber soaks up all that flavor from the browned butter, making every bite savory.  It’s a great low carb way to have a delicious meal. We’ve made this to go with chicken and with fish like mahi or swordfish.

Creamy Bacon Pea Salad

Traci helped find this recipe back when i first started trying to lower my carb intake. And in fact, this recipe was one of the recipes that help to drive the creation of this blog. We get asked for this recipe, without fail, every time we bring it to an event.

It takes a little bit of preparation time, but its totally worth it. I also  recommend letting it rest for a day to allow all the flavors to meld in with the mayo.
