Low Carb Peanut Chicken Skewers

If you follow me, you know I have been on a low carb diet. I love being able to think of new ways to eat that reduces the number of carbs. I love chicken so I need lots of recipes that are low carb and delicious.

Low Carb Mexican Casserole

I started on a low carb diet a few weeks ago. I lost 5 pounds in the first week and then stabilized for a few days and then have lost another couple of pounds. The one thing I have noticed is that although my weight seems to be at a plateau, I am losing inches. My jeans are starting to fall down. That is a good thing, right? 

One of the dishes that I have made several times is this Mexican Casserole.

Pork and Cauliflower-Potato Mash

It seems that cauliflower has invaded many of our recipes lately - pizza, mashed cauliflower, cauliflower rice and the list goes on. Cauliflower is growing as the "King" of veggies.

Maybe you are not ready to get rid of your potatoes just yet, so I thought this recipe where the mashed potatoes have cauliflower in them might be a great place to start.

Low Carb Pork Rind Chicken Tenders

Recently, I went on a low-carb diet. I am not a big bread eater so that hasn't been bad. I do miss dessert. I spend time looking at the carbs in foods now and it has been interesting learning about which foods have the most carbs.  I found this low-carb chicken recipe that is made with pork rinds of all things.

Kickin Buffalo Chicken Nachos

Nachos are great as an appetizer, but what about for dinner.  When my husband and I go out, sometimes we get a couple of appetizers to share for dinner. So when I saw this recipe, I thought why not for dinner.

Loaded Beef Chili

Looking for a hearty chili for those cool evenings or for game day, check out my loaded beef chili. The other day, I had Home and Family on while I was cleaning. Sandra Lee was on there and mentioned her Loaded Chili. 

I thought I would check it out. She used a beef roast and I just happened to have one in the freezer. I know what I am making for dinner.

Fried Green Tomatoes

When I was young, August always seemed to be the time for fried green tomatoes. Maybe because we had a big garden and my mother was tired of seeing red tomatoes or the fact that my father loved them.

Now here I am married to a man who loves fried green tomatoes too. He has to eat them all since I hate tomatoes. 

I know that tomatoes are so good for you and if you love tomatoes check out 5 Benefits of Eating and Growing the Best Tomatoes Ever.

Polynesian Chicken with Pineapple

What to do with all of those pineapples? Use them in recipes. If you follow me, you know that I am having a bumper crop of pineapples this year. You can see that post here.

We have eaten them fresh, in smoothies and frozen some. So last night I decided to add some to my Polynesian Chicken. What a great combination

Eclectic Red Barn: Polynesian Chicken with Pineapple

This is such an easy dish to prepare and you do that in one pan. 

Cut up the chicken, dice the pineapple, add in the other ingredients, stir together and bake. Easy, peasy!

I served it over rice, but you could eat it plain as well and save the extra calories. Maybe just add a vegetable.  See the nutritional information at the bottom of the recipe and you will be surprised at how few calories this recipe contains.

Sweet Teriyaki Beef Skewers

Is it hot where you are? Wow, it is hot here in southern Florida. I know it is summer, but really?

We have been grilling out a lot these days, so when I saw this recipe for Sweet Teriyaki Beef Skewers, I knew that I had to make them.

I made a few changes to the original recipe, like adding some grated fresh ginger and mango/pineapple juice instead of just pineapple juice. 



I marinated the beef for only 6 hours instead of the 24 it called for and they were still great. This would be great to do the night before so all you would have to do is grill them when you come home.

The recipe stated that the pineapple juice was optional, but I think it gave it added flavor, even though I used a mango/pineapple version.


 I love recipes that I can easily make changes to. Next time I am going to try chicken instead of beef. 

Hope you enjoy this recipe and try and stay cool!
