Maintenance
Curried Ground Lamb and Veggies
I love lamb! This ground lamb was sauteed with onions, mushrooms, canned diced tomatoes, frozen Asian cauliflower rice and spices for an Indian flavour. I served it with buttered Brussels sprouts and parsnip fries. Not super low-carb, but I do fine with some carbs on maintenance.
Read MoreMeat Sauce and Brussels Sprouts
I often make a sauce with ground meat and veggies. This one is lamb, Italian-seasoned sausage meat, cauliflower rice, diced canned tomatoes, spinach, onion and seasonings. I also steamed some Brussels sprouts, which I absolutely love, and slathered them with butter.
Read MoreTofu Greek Salad
I have to avoid eating a lot of dairy, so this Greek salad uses marinated tofu instead of feta cheese. Note: For some really good fat, I added an entire diced avocado after this photo was taken.

A big salad is such a versatile low-carb meal! This winter salad has Romaine lettuce, seasoned shredded chicken breast, a small amount of sweet potato, tomatoes, red peppers, red onion, salsa mayo, Aleppo pepper flakes and salt. I warmed up the chicken and sweet potato in the microwave.
Read MoreSalad, Egg Bites and Bacon
A simple meal since the salad was made ahead. I heated the bacon and the bacon/cheese egg bites (Kirkland brand from Costco) in the air fryer. The salad looks kind of muddy in the photo as I mixed in some leftover sweet and sour red cabbage which always turns whatever it’s added to pink!
Read MoreDeli Ham and Egg Bites
An easy, light meal using Kirkland’s Bacon and Cheese Egg Bites from Costco (heated in the air fryer) and Piller’s Black Forest Ham slices. I added some leftover roasted parsnips (reheated in the air fryer) and some tomatoes. The parsnips are not super low carb, but they work for me as an occasional treat on…

Good price on a large pack of nice, big sausages at Walmart! Here are three of them next to some homemade pink coleslaw. Yummy!
Read MoreSteak and Parsnip Fries
These lovely steaks were on sale at Safeway. I air-fried them and they were so tender and delicious! I also made some parsnip fries in the air fryer. They were amazing! The parsnips are not particularly low carb, but they are just fine for someone on maintenance.
