  • I'm low carb and cook often for myself and one of my friends who is also gluten/dairy free along with being low carb. One of our favorites is to swap out endive for taco shells and make tiny "tacos" using a spoonful of taco meat (ground beef mixed with homemade taco spice from alton brown's recipe, omitting cornstarch and…

  • I use one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Nordic-Ware-60120-Microwaver-Popcorn/dp/B00004W4UP/ref=sr_1_5?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1358101847&sr=1-5 It pops about 1/8 cup of kernels in the microwave, and honestly it pops better without the oil.

My mom made me a bunch of smoothies too, but…

  • My absolute favorite is white peaches or nectarines topped with fage, greek gods or trader joe's plain greek 0% with just a little drizzle of honey, though it's more of a summer love.
