Low Carb Enchiladas

I love Mexican dishes, but as a vegetarian on a low-carb diet, it can be a challenge trying to create a Mexican meal from beans.

But, I'm nothing if not persistant. I wanted a low carb enchilada that was filled with low carb chilli, so that is what I made. The secret to these is the choice of beans. Often in Mexican cooking you will use kidney beans and pinto beans. These are both high carb beans with low fibre. But the haricot bean, that's only 2g net carbs per 400g can. Perfect!

Low Carb Pizza - Dominos-Style Pizza

These low-carb pizzas taste just like a Dominos takeaway to me. You can make them however you like as meats and cheese have negligible carbs. You can also make a lot of them and freeze them for cooking later to make some quick, easy meals for the future. A great addition to a low carb diet.

You can also make smaller versions with a lower carb count. This recipe is based on making four 9" pizzas for 9.5g carbs per pizza.

Low Carb White Bread Rolls

These are perfect low carb white bread rolls that taste exactly like the real thing to me. With only 9g of carbs in each roll, they work on any low carb diet.

It took a long time of testing flours to get to these, but it was worth it because they work really well as a bread substitute.

Low Carb Yorkshire Puddings

Great low carb Yorkshire Puddings for traditional UK Sunday dinner. These are a wonderful addition to a low carb diet or a diabetic diet for those who are missing a traditional Sunday dinner.

Low Carb Scones

Strawberry and Coconut Scones

This recipe is adapted a baker, so the all processes need to be followed for it to work properly.

I estimate that it is around 6g of carbs per scone, but they are so full of proteins and fats. You probably won’t be able to eat more than one, especially if you fill it with butter or low/no sugar strawberry jam and whipped cream ^^.

This is a great addition to a low carb diet that relies on fats for energy. There are lots of proteins, vitamins and nutrients in these scones.
