Steak, Roasted Veggies, Tomatoes

By Andrea Wilson | October 21, 2025 | Comments Off on Steak, Roasted Veggies, Tomatoes

A lovely steak that was on sale at Safeway. I paired it with roasted cauliflower and rutabaga (swede) and a few baby tomatoes. Simple and easy! I used the air fryer for the roasted veggies and the steak (not at the same time).

By Andrea Wilson | October 17, 2025 | Comments Off on Air Fried Pork Chops, Cauliflower and Tomatoes

Pork chops done in the air fryer are really nice. I also roasted some cauliflower in the air fryer using the same seasoning as I used on the pork chops, and cut up some baby tomatoes to add some colour.

Always Buy Meat on Sale!

By Andrea Wilson | September 23, 2025 | Comments Off on Always Buy Meat on Sale!

 Honestly, there’s almost no reason to buy meat at full price. Safeway always has meat on sale here in the Vancouver area. Freeze meat that is at its due date immediately and use it at your leisure. I will divide the ground beef into smaller packages and freeze them. I will probably cook the pork…

Luncheon Meat Salad

By Andrea Wilson | September 23, 2025 | Comments Off on Luncheon 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.

Huge 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…

English Banger Sausages with Sweet and Sour Red Cabbage

By Andrea Wilson | August 27, 2025 | Comments Off on English Banger Sausages with Sweet and Sour Red Cabbage

Thus is a delicious low-carb meal. I made a double batch of low-carb German Sweet and Sour Red Cabbage which I paired with my favourite English Banger Sausages from Save-on-Foods in the Vancouver area. Note: I made this recipe low carb by substituting allulose for the sugar. I used 2/3 of a cup of allulose…

By Andrea Wilson | July 17, 2025 | Comments Off on Boerewors (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.

Crispy air-fried chicken legs and a side salad of kale with citrus dressing, topped with goat cheese crumbles. An amazing low-carb meal!

Low-carb, High-protein Smoothie or Meal Replacement (Coconut Vanilla Flavour)

By Andrea Wilson | July 8, 2025 | Comments Off on Low-carb, High-protein Smoothie or Meal Replacement (Coconut Vanilla Flavour)

 You can make a smoothie to your own specifications! Here’s another one that’s really yummy! Combine: 12 oz. any low-carb beverage (coconut, oat, soy, etc. – read the labels!) I usually buy unsweetened so I can control the sweetness I usually buy unflavoured, but vanilla flavour can be used in this recipe 1 T coconut…

Huge Tuna and Egg Salad

By Andrea Wilson | July 7, 2025 | Comments Off on Huge Tuna and Egg Salad

This huge salad is delicious and filling! The protein consists of one can of flaked tuna (sustainably caught) and three hard-boiled eggs. One of the easiest and most satisfying low-carb meals is a big green salad mixed with with whatever protein you like. Almost any protein will work!
