If you are a low-carber, following a gluten-free and grain-free diet, the traditional hot cereal or porridge for breakfast is not an option. So I developed this simple and healthy alternative, which is also tasty and full of nutrients.
Topped with berries, sugar-free syrup, or with a good pat of organic butter, it’s a warming and satisfying breakfast, especially now during the cold wintertime.

Be prepared to Thanksgiving and the holiday season with this delicious low-carb relish! This sweet and tart sauce, with all its intense flavors, is a perfect companion to turkey, chicken or ham. In fact, to any meat or fish.
This is a great make-ahead sauce. You can prepare it a day or two before, the flavors get even better when they can marinate for some time. Just reheat the sauce before serving so that all the tiny crystals of erythritol dissolve. If you prefer to serve the sauce cold, I give some hints how to sweeten it in that case.

Luscious Low-Carb Lavender Lemon Bars — that is a lengthy name! I just wanted to choose as describing name for these extra delicious and extra tangy tidbits as I could. Actually, I wanted to include the word ‘little’ there as well, but that would have been an overkill. Moreover, you can cut as big or small bars as you want to. I think I prefer small bars anyway, since these delicacies are heavy stuff what comes to both taste and richness.

There are those rainy summer days when I don’t want to leave the house but get warm and cozy inside. Maybe I heat the oven and bake some of my all-time favorite munchies for comfort. This superb crisp bread is one of my all-time favorite munchies. Crunchy, tasty and crispy, without gluten and as healthful as possible, it might become one of your all-time favorite munchies as well.
Munch this crunchy crisp bread just like that, or with butter and cheese. For real comfort, top it with sugar-free strawberry or raspberry jam. My favorite way to eat this bread, in addition to load a slice with butter and cheese, is to crumble it over my breakfast yogurt — it’s just like granola, but not sweet, though.

Dipping strawberries in chocolate is so last season — serving the dipped strawberries as pops is so this season! And now is the season for strawberries, which makes this recipe hot, like the weather outside.
These neat treats are great for any summer party. Decorated with heart-shaped sugar-free marzipan, they are especially great for weddings. You can also add your preferred seasonings or sweeteners to the chocolate dip: for example rum, vanilla stevia — or both!

“Now, this tastes exciting!”, my husband exclaimed with enthusiasm. I had made several iced tea experiments and this one seemed to please our palates most.
If you like cherry and vanilla (and who doesn’t!) this iced tea is sure to kill your thirst in a most refreshing and exciting way. Sweet cherry is simply part of summer with its fruitiness, vanilla stevia gives an elegant hint of this fantastic flavor while lime juice plays an important role in freshening the flavors with a tangy yet smooth kick of citrus.

This accompaniment is just made for those hot and lazy summer days when you don’t feel like spending too much time in the kitchen and when you don’t want to have anything too hearty and heavy.
This crunchy cucumber side dish is a fresh combination of sweet and savory, with a notable touch of nourishing raw apple cider vinegar. Cucumber’s old companion, dill, completes the relationship between this two-man team. H’m, veggie team.
You can prepare this salad beforehand, but as it’s fresh pickles, you don’t need to wait for days or weeks before enjoying — this tangy tidbit is ready within two hours.
