15 Deliciously Low Carb Casserole Recipes



Fall is almost here!  Can you believe it?  I feel like I was just planning our summer adventures yesterday.

Now it's time for cozy sweatshirts, bright, colorful leaves, pumpkin picking and casseroles.  Casseroles?  Yes, this time of the year tends to be incredibly busy for parents.  The easiest dinners I know how to make that don't involve my crock-pot are casseroles.  I love being able to just toss a bunch of ingredients in a baking dish to cook in the oven while I get other things done.


Back to School shopping with my new Preschooler!



  My daughter is entering preschool this fall so I know there will be some activities and skills that we'll need to reinforce at home so that will eat up our free time.  If I can spend just a few less minutes standing at the stove then I'll do it.  For me, the answer is casseroles!  

And without further adieu, here is a round-up of 15 deliciously low carb casseroles!

Easy Low-Carb, High Fat Lunch Menu


How is it June already?  It really snuck up on me which is why I am getting this out so late.  May was incredibly busy and kind of a blur with all of myraces, but I wouldn't have traded it for the world.

Are you ready for some healthy eats?  Me too! With the weather heating up this month, I tossed in some cold dinner options.  My husband also requested lots of beef and being a lover of red meat I couldn't deny him that request.

As always, tell me what you made and how it turned out!

Bon appetit!

May (Low-Carb, Gluten and Nut-Free) Menu

How is it even May?  This year is just flying by, but I am glad that summer is almost here.  My
Not a short list of allergens.  
family and I have several fun weekend trips and special events planned.  Now that I am aware of what all of my allergies are, I'm going to have to really plan on what I eat (or when I don't eat) on the road.  Staying low carb, gluten free and high fat while I traveled has always been tricky, but doable, but with so many allergies to fruits and vegetables, my options are even more limited.  Luckily, I always have intermittent fasting to fall back so if I need to fast longer than normal (16 hours a day), I can.  You can bet I'll be putting together a list (in blog form too) of what to pack so I don't cheat (too much).

May is shaping up to be an extremely busy, but fun, month for us.  I have 3 races (Cinco de Miles, Gate City Half Marathon and Boston's Run to Remember).   There is also Mother's Day and my daughter's first ever dance recital.  Not that this is any different from usual, but I am going to try to keep my recipes as easy and quick to cook as possible.

Since I do have so many races this month and the weather should be better, we'll most likely pick up some pre-marinated meats from our local butcher shop, Mr. Steer, to grill so I didn't include recipes for those nights.





Are you ready for this month's list?




And, just to make my nutritionist happy, I'll be adding lots of vegetables to my diet as well.  Veggies, veggies and more veggies!

Here is a new one I'd like to try:  Roasted Spiced Radishes.

Easy, Healthy Slow-Cooker and Casserole Recipes

Recently, I was tested for food and environmental allergies. I created this dinner menu before I got those results so there will be some tweaking for sure in the months to come.  My 2 biggest allergens besides almonds and hazelnuts are broccoli and BHA (a food additive).  I'm actually allergic to broccoli.  Who knew such a thing existed?  I'm like the idol of millions of small children. Needless to say, I have a lot of reading and learning to do.  I feel like as an adult I've had to re-learn how to eat too many times to count!

Oh well, whatever makes me feel better, right?

Bon Appetit!
