Marinated Chicken Thighs with Romaine Salad
These delicious chicken thighs were marinated overnight in sheep’s yogurt (Greek yogurt works great), red onions and Indian spices. Then they were packed in a cake pan and baked for about an hour at 450F. I made enough for three meals. Note: Mine were bone-in and had their skins on whereas the original recipe uses…
Read MoreChicken Thighs, Salad and Brussels Sprouts
Low-carb is such an easy “diet”! I simply air-fried three pre-seasoned chicken breasts, then added some bagged salad and leftover Brussels sprouts. It doesn’t have to be complicated!
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.
Read MoreShredded Chicken Salad
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.

What could be simpler? How about an air-fried chicken leg and a Romaine lettuce salad.
Read MoreHalibut and Salad
A nice piece of halibut from Pomme (my local health food store) seasoned with salt, pepper and garlic powder, then air fried and served with salad.
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 MoreLuncheon Meat Salad
I keep a can or two of luncheon meat in my cupboard for “emergency” salads! It tends to be very mild-tasting, so I usually add some flavourful ingredients to the salad, like olives, salsa mayo, red onion, etc.
Read MoreHuge Winter Salad
First winter salad of the season… even though it’s not winter just yet! This photo shows the salad undressed so you can see the individual ingredients. Once dressed everything will turn pink from the cooked red cabbage and the salsa mayo salad dressing. Why do I categorize this as a winter salad? Just because of…
Read MoreBoerewors (Sausage) with Bagged Salad
Boerewors (South African Beef and Pork Sausage) cooked in the air fryer and accompanied by a bagged salad (Southwestern style). The salad is not particularly low carb, but I’m okay with that occasionally.
