Coconut Cauliflower Rice
Cauliflower rice is a delish and healthy, low-carb option for rice lovers. I love this Coconut Cauliflower Rice recipe that infuses coconut oil and milk into it. Carbohydrates elicit the biggest insulin response, increasing your blood glucose levels. Increased blood glucose levels can eventually lead to insulin resistance when eating starchy carbohydrates chronically. Once insulin is produced by your pancreas, it sets off to manage the incoming glucose (sugar) by directing it to your cells and other parts of your body. The issue is when your cells are stuffed and can’t use anymore insulin it’s sent back into the bloodstream and eventually stored as fat. There’s no reason to continue eating rice if you have an insulin problem when you can eat delicious cauliflower rice recipe.

Low-Carb Egg Noodles
My Low-Carb Egg Noodle recipe is a delicious way to bring “pasta” back into your life using whole food ingredients that are grain-free, flour-free, gluten-free and have less than three grams of carbohydrates per serving. This recipe is also tailored to people who eat a paleo, keto and carnivore based diet. Using pasture-raised eggs ensures that you are getting all the bioavailable nutrients prepackaged in a form that your body can use optimally. Eggs provide us with choline, protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Choline is a precursor to acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter essential for brain health, gene expression and nervous system functions. Eggs also contain cholesterol which our body needs in order to manufacture hormones, and may help raise our “good” HDL levels, an important component to lower our risk of heart disease, strokes and other health issues. This low-carb recipe is easy to make and you will find unlimited ways to use them.

Asian Slaw
This nutritious and nourishing Asian Cole Slaw recipe with healthy fats and a soy-free dressing is delicious and satiating. Using organic produce is always the most healthy option, minimizing the toxic load your body would otherwise obtain from conventionally grown vegetables. Adding healthy fats to vegetables is a must so that those fat-soluble vitamins (A,D,E,K) get absorbed and used by your body. Choose healthy oils, such as avocado oil, as a neutral base, staying away from industrial seed oils that damage your cellular health. Most cole slaw recipes include sugar, but not here. Sugar is the root cause of all chronic disease, addicting and easy to swap out. This healthy Asian Cole Slaw recipe is great on tacos, as a base of Asian meal bowls and delicious mixed with kelp noodles for a fresh side dish.
