Looking for lowish carb cooks

a lot of what i make is lower carb (hubby is diabetic). BUT we dont always eat the same thing for dinner (esp if i have leftover from eating out earlier in the day), so what i eat may not always be what he eats.

I was trying to do lower carbs (100 net carbs or less) for a while but I started to get bored and added some more carbs back in. But I find that the more carbs I eat, the more I crave so I want to try reducing again. Today, looks like I'll come in at about 90 net carbs. One challenge for me when I try to eat lower carbs is eating enough fiber. Would love other friends interested in lower carb eating.

TracyS so glad you don't juice out the fiber.. it is vital as you know. and having a 1/2 cup of your favorite rice on occasion seems smart vs a total cut.

I found several great websites by motivated LC people..no matter what carb level or food, a ton of free info is out there. as for pastry/bread foods..now with Almond flour,coconut flour and use of Stevia natural sweetener there is a LOT you can eat. Even a 'cornflakes' cereal made with coconut flour and cinnamon.

RULED.ME is a guy who creates TONS of great "Keto" recipe,like "Cake in a Cup" a one portion serving of dense cake in under 3 min, and MANY sites show using bagged shredded cabbage/carrot/ veggie mixes as a "crack slaw" adding meats & other food is fast and easy

I made these flourless avocado cookies the other night: http://thesmoothielover.com/healthy-avocado-chocolate-cookies/

And they are very moist and tasty! They actually taste more like brownies than cookies. I used bananas instead of the coconut sugar, and semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of dark chocolate (which balanced out the bitterness of the dark cocoa powder pretty well). I got about 12 cookies from my batch at about 55 cal a cookie!

I make crustless quiche all the time which is low carb. I typically eat it for breakfast but often eat if for other meals or as a snack (especially a late night snack). There are so many ways to make it - eggs, egg whites, or both beaten with some almond milk or occasionally skim milk. I often crumble Morningstar Farms veggies sausage patties into it or occasionally some chicken sausage or lean ham. I always include veggies - my favorites are spinach, broccoli, and/or kale and often include onions, sometimes tomato. I like cheese it, but don't always add it. Reduced fat swiss, sharp cheddar, pepper jack, and feta are favorites. Sometimes I'll add some slices of white, red, or sweet potatoes but that brings up the carbs. And then depending on what I put in it, I vary the seasonings - freshly ground black pepper, paprika, cayenne, garlic, etc.
