Thick and creamy soup!
Leek and potato soup is a popular winter soup in Europe but it too high in carbs (sorry potato but you are not welcome here). The mighty cauliflower steps up and replaces the creamy, thickness that the potato usually gives, with much lower carbs! It does not disappoint on taste either. Huzzah again for the wonderful cauliflower! The colour of the soup does not do it justice…but it is a bowl of flavour! Yummy! Tell me more Diva…
I love the combination of bananas and coconut and this recipe gives a lovely moist bread..well, it’s almost a cake. I call it a loaf because I bake it in a loaf tin, but you could equally bake it in a cake tin and call it a cake…perhaps add some frosting on top..yum! This is Gluten Free too and I used my new obsession for sugar replacement, coconut nectar! However, you could use another sugar replacement if you don’t have any of this in your store cupboard. Yummy, tell me more Diva…
Yummy! Low Carb and Gluten Free goodness!
If I told you that this was exactly the same as a doughy pizza, I would be lying. If I said that this was the best low carb and gluten free alternative I have made so I would be 100% truthful. This is so far, my favourite low carb and gluten free pizza base and was met with happy munching from my tasters. Gorgeously low carb and gluten free too! Very easy to make…who needs to pound out dough when you can whip up a lovely pizza like this. Yummy, tell me more Diva…
Coconut covered fish
This was so well recieved by my tasters, that I made extra. I shall be putting this on the list of regular dishes too, as it was fairly easy to make and a nice twist on “fish and chips” (I served this with a side of baked sweet potato fries). The sauce is lovely and can be made to have on the side with other dishes, not just this fried fish. The coconut coating is a nice change from the traditional heavy batter and helped use up my large stock of coconut too! Yummy, tell me more Diva…
For this dish, I use my own yellow curry paste, but you could cheat and use one from a jar. However, I prefer to use my own as it is simple enough to make and keeps the dish free from preservatives or any nasty sneaky chemicals. This dish is a smooth, yet spicy chicken curry that is easy to make as I bake it in the oven which seems to give a very moist chicken. Yummy, tell me more Diva…
These cookies are better cold than straight of the oven which is unusal for a cookie in my book! This is for coconut lovers and gives you a lovely low carb, gluten free cookie full of coconut goodness. These cookies are great for a Paleo diet too! Yummy, tell me more Diva…
The strong taste of Salmon goes very well with the red Thai curry flavours. This dish will tantalize your taste buds with the succulent salmon. I made my own red curry paste but you could cheat and use a paste from a jar for a quicker dish. You could also make a large batch of red curry paste and keep it in the fridge too though! This is a quick, easy and delicious dish to make ! Yummy, tell me more Diva…
Whilst shopping for my coconut flour I came across a packet of coconut nectar and was full of excitement to find another natural substitute for sugar. Coconut nectar is a great sugar replacement that has no additives or preservatives and comes from my favourite thing, the joyous coconut! Coconut Nectar is an all natural raw sweetner from the blossoms of the coconut tree.
So, off I skipped to the kitchen to try out my new found sugar replacement and did some baking…the results were delicious! Surely eating such delicious food should be bad for you!
I am sure that this is not readily available apart from your health shops so you may have to purchase this online.
As with the red curry paste, this is just as easy to make at home, then to use a jar as long as you have a blender or food processor. You can keep a batch of this in the fridge until you want to use it. Thai curry pastes make a quick and delicious curry, especially good if you want a curry, and you want it now!

Muffin in a mug!
This is classic recipe from the low carber forums and is a fabulously fast and easy recipe to make. It is perfect for a quick, healthy and filling breakfast. It is low carb and gluten free too! Also a good way to get some flax into your diet. The muffin tastes like a sweet wholemeal muffin with a dash of cinnamon. Even the chief taster who is not a flax fan likes this. You could add chopped nuts or fruit to this and even a few spices to your liking. Play around and make it your own! I like to add coconut and berries to mine…just delicious!
