Keto Soul Bread – Original Recipe
Personally, I have not made this bread because I don’t do well with dairy. However, this bread is popular and tasty, unlike many low-carb, gluten-free bread recipes, so I have decided to document it here. Here is where I got this recipe. Here is another version. It’s great to read the comments on these pages…

Read MoreChicken Congee: Experimenting with Rice on a Low-carb Diet (Recipe)
Chicken congee! Lots of chicken and broth… and rice, too, of course. Topped with a little sesame oil, chili oil and soy sauce.

Read MoreCan I Eat Rice on a Low-carb Diet? (Chicken Congee Recipe)
You can eat anything you want on a low-carb diet, as long as you keep the DAILY TOTAL carbs at 20 grams or less.

Read MorePork Loin Roast, Parsnips, Tomatoes
Centre cut pork loin roast (Instant Pot), sautéed baby tomatoes, boiled parsnips, homemade gravy.  I am experimenting with parsnips as they don’t bother my gut like the lower carb brassicas do (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, etc.). You’ll notice that I only have ~100 gm of parsnips on my plate (~18 gm total carbs). The…
Read MorePork Loin Roast Centre Cut – Instant Pot (Recipe Link)
Amy and Jacky put a lot of work into testing Instant Pot recipes. Here is a link to their recipe for pork loin centre cut roast. Note: Pork loin is NOT the same as pork tenderloin. Pork loin is a larger, wider, flat meat from the pig’s back. It can be boneless or bone-in. It…
