This soup gives you everything you love about tacos with none of the carbs. A great thing to have on Taco Tuesdays.
This hearty seafood soup comes from southern France and includes and is also lower in fat than many other soups. The more different kinds of seafood you use in this recipe, the better.
"This has a very good flavor of all the low-carb fudges I have made.”
-K M.6777
“These brownies are as quick as they are delicious! A hefty dose of walnuts reinforces their lightly nutty flavor from the addition of almond flour. For dark chocolate lovers only.”
-norasingley
“Don’t be fooled by their size; these little bites pack a flavorful punch. Redolent of rich dark chocolate with a cinnamon-y kick, they’re topped with toasted coconut flakes and a touch of cayenne for spice.”
-norasingley
"This was really good! I topped it with diced tomato, shredded lettuce, avocado, salsa and sour cream.”
-HeatherN
“We sometimes grow spaghetti squash in our garden and thus have tried several recipes using spaghetti squash. This is, by far, the best one yet!”
-Mrs. Hughes
“Great flavor — the meat wasn't dry at all. Two suggestions: don't add the extra seasoning salt. I didn't, and it tasted just salty enough with the other seasonings. Also, cut the bell peppers in half, and stuff the halves instead of a big pepper. It makes the bell pepper easier to eat, and if you're not as hungry you can have a smaller meal. Overall, a great low-carb meal!"
-kangaroofish
"I really enjoyed these as a no-carb breakfast. Today, I am adding spinach and garlic powder."
-elaina.thiemann
“Anyone that is on a low-carb diet and misses pizza should try this.”
-Grandma Winnie

-Potatohead

-Jonathan Melendez
"Delicious! Does not taste like cauliflower at all! I topped it off with some chopped cilantro."
-DeliciousAsItLooks
“These Brussels sprouts are a cinch to make thanks to the Instant Pot. They're packed with so much flavor because of the bacon and fresh lemon juice!”
-Jonathan Melendez
“We both loved this salad. It really is easy and tasty.”
-Mia in Germany
“The sauce was delicious and it literally disappeared at the dinner table.”
-chia2160

-zoeacute302
“I boiled my cauliflower in chicken broth until very soft, drained the broth and added remaining ingredients plus chopped chives.”
-Rachael Barrett
“I followed the suggestions posted in other reviews and added the Laughing Cow garlic and herb cheese instead of the fresh garlic, cream cheese, and parmesan.”
-jtavee
"The technique is what makes this recipe. Follow the directions exactly and you will be amazed at the result (nutty flavor almost).”
-dunncarter
"We love kale at our house. This is a good way to fix it.”
-riffraff
"Bought enough asparagus for the family meal, used your recipe and ate the whole batch myself.”
-LuvBeinHere
"We loved this! I did add a scant teaspoon of dijon mustard to the olive oil/garlic blend, coating the spears before I wrapped them.”
-Diana Adcock
"I added more garlic because that's just how I am. Great dish. Went perfect with a big ole sirloin.”
-riffraff
"Normally I steam the Brussels sprouts then sauté in browned garlic butter and sprinkle with parmesan. So I figured this was just another avenue to the same thing. Wrong! These are fabulous and far superior to the way I made them before.”
-MEAN CHEF
"Very good. I simply sprayed mine with olive oil cooking spray and added a bit of sea salt. They came out perfect."
-rush_0
Collard greens are a fixture on tables in the southern United States. This recipe can be prepared well ahead of time and reheated as needed. Collard greens also freeze and reheat beautifully.
"Delish! Next time I will mix the parmesan with some garlic powder and fresh ground pepper, spray the zucchini with pan spray and dredge them in the mixture. This first time around there was more parmesan on the pan than on the zucchini!”
-I3butter
“We definitely recommend this recipe. It has become one of our favorites!"
-bears-n-beagles
"Love this. If you salt your zucchini slices and let them rest for 20 to 30 minutes, some of the moisture will drain off and make for a crispier result after baking. This will keep them from becoming mushy."
-IFortuna
It helps to use large, fully grown arugula in this recipe, which has more body and a more pronounced flavor. While the baby arugula sold in bags for salads will work in a pinch, try looking for larger leaves sold in bundles.
“The addition of the spices and the method of adding the cheese to make it crispy takes this humble vegetable over the top.”
-Sweet Baboo
"Delicious! Even the boyfriend (who kept saying, ‘but I don't like cauliflower’) ate his whole bowl!"
-swingin4a10
"We love cauliflower rice and make it often. Just wanted to let you know, it can be made just as well with frozen! I zap the bag in the microwave for about three minutes (to soften; it will still be kinda frozen) then shred it in the food processor.”
-HSingARMYmom
“Loved it for our low-carb lifestyle. Added garlic, onion, salt and pepper.”
