A Full breakfast can be GI friendly.
It's odd. Breakfast is something I prepare everyday. Ever since my mother-in-law arrived to stay with me for the summer, my own personal routine has greatly improved. This includes a low glycemic index breakfast which, if you scan quickly enough yo...
Recipe: Faux-mashed potatoes using Cauliflower
So last week I commented on finding recipes that are atkins-inspired for low carb diets but was frustrated with the high-fat content that is NOT necessary for some recipes to taste good and still be low carb. mashed cauliflower is the perfect example...
BBQ Season
BBQ Season has arrived. My wife is visiting from San Francisco this week, and I must say, I've been getting into my BBQ grill for almost all of our dinners. A fresh salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegrette to accompany our grilled meats along wi...
