What I'm working on right now is to get some low carb blogs in my Google Reader, and then I can read new blog posts every day. As I find some recipes I like, I pin them to a "low-carb" board on my Pinterest.

I'm still looking for good blogs, but so far I like

I also read her book "How I gave up my low-fat diet and lost forty pounds" which I liked and had tons of good info, but no recipes. She has several recipe books that I'm considering getting, going to check first to see if my library has them. Her blog isn't great to pin to, since often there aren't any pics, so I have to use a traditional browser bookmark. I made a low-carb folder in my bookmark system first to make them easier to find,

I also have Atkins and South Beach in my diet book library, so will be pulling those out and looking through them. I made a yummy low carb Asian slaw last night!

Annie's Low Carb Asian Slaw
1 small head Napa Cabbage, about 5 cups, shredded
2 cups (5 ounces) broccoli slaw, without dressing if included
1/2 cup Mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Seasoned Rice Vinegar
1 teaspoon Siracha (Asian hot sauce, may sub other hot sauce)
2 teaspoons Dark Sesame Seed Oil
3 packets Splenda, or sweetener of choice
6 tablespoons Sliced Almonds

Mix together the shredded Napa cabbage and the broccoli slaw in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayo, vinegar, Siracha, sesame oil, and Splenda. Taste and adjust sweetness or spicyness if you like. Pour dressing over salad in bowl and mix well. You can mix the almonds in, or sprinkle one tablespoon over the top of each serving.

Optional add-ins:
Ground ginger in the dressing
Chopped cilantro
Chopped green onions
Toasted Sesame Seeds

Dana Carpender and George Stella have big LC cookbooks. Stella has some recipes on his site:

The Atkins account on Pinterest puts up a lot of interesting recipes that they post to recipies.com:

Also on Pinterest you can see other people's "pin boards" where they have put their favorite LC recipes by searching Low Carb:

I recently found this lady's site. I think she's the one who "invented" the chicken-and-cheese pizza crust. She's got some really great ideas:

I have the "original" (I think?) her "500 Low Carb Recipes from Snacks to Desserts" book

http://www.amazon.com/500-Low-Carb-Recipes-Snacks-Dessert/dp/1931412065

It was my bible last time around on Atkins (2002-2003) before the Internet was so very chock-full of delicious LC recipes. I used it earlier this year to come up with an appetizer for a party. I also started going through it to mark recipes I know I'd like.

To be honest tho I haven't really used it in the 6 months I've been back on Atkins. But it's no slight against the book - I don't much of anything and when I do it's usually because I've been inspired by something online.

But you can't go wrong with Dana's books. I'd recommend this one, the 500 recipe one, because it's so utterly complete!

I love this site :
