cook books

Hi All,

I just bought a few new cookbooks which have some wonderful recipes.  It is such a treat to have new recipes to spice up my diet.

so far, I've made

Chicken fried "rice" with caIuliflower rice.  Its delicious and so healthy

Mexican casserole - which is basically taco fillings over a bed of spaghetti squash.  Again, delightful and healthy.

Rueben stuffed sweet potatoes was another winner. - like a Rueben sandwich but served on sweet potatoes rather than bread - yum

Today I made a cold chicken salad with a spicy peanut sauce over a bed of spiralized cucumbers. 

they were all great recipes. 

The cook book is The Primal Low-carb Kitchen - Comfort food recipes for the carb conscious cook by Kyndra Holley. 

I have two others I also purchased, but haven't tried yet.  They are The big 15 Paleo cookbook by Megan Flynn Peterson and Skinnytaste by Gina Homolka.  They look good but I haven't tried the recipes yet. 

Do you have a cookbook that you'd recommend?  I'd love to hear your recommendations.

Thanks for the recommendations! 

thanks for the recommendations.........will have to try them soon!

This is embarrassing for me. I can't read cookbooks they are a trigger for me. No more Food Network for me. Unless it is Chopped or one of the baking shows. 

I am so so so sad to admit that I think pintrest is a trigger for me!! 

The cauliflower fried rice is so good. I like to make it without the chicken so I can have it as a side dish or as a meal when I heat it up with a left-over protein, like beef, pork or chicken or with a quick stirfry of shrimp. Doing it this way also insures that I get my 2-3 ounces of protein. 

I like to experiment and have been finding a lot of low carb recipes online at Pinterest or on Dlife (Diabetes Life). I can upload them to myfitnesspal & log the nutritional information or tweak them for my tastes/needs. Skinnytaste is one of the sites on Pinterest that I often refer to as well. 

Check againstallgrain.com.  I love her recipes... She just published a new book, but most of her recipes are still available on the site...

I have this book.  It is really great!

This site looks very interesting.  I'm going to try some of the recipes.  Thanks for the reference.
