ABC (Avocado Bacon Cajun) Meatballs

ABC Meatballs | Low-Carb, So Simple

I admit it, I’m not a genius — but this dish sure is! Making a healthy dinner is as easy as ABC — literally. You need only 5 ingredients and a few minutes to prepare this delicious, family-friendly meal.

These meatballs check all the boxes. First of all, they’re full of taste. Rich avocado provides a creamy texture and good fats; ground beef is a great source of protein; and Cajun seasoning adds a sharp kick that complements the mellow avocado and acts as an all-around flavor enhancer. And no dish would be complete without bacon, right?!

You can use other flavorful seasonings apart from Cajun (whether they start with the letter C or not!) Take a look at my experiments with different seasonings in this post and choose your favorite ones. And there are more tips for variations at the end of the post, as always.

Low-Carb Hazelnut Butter Cookies (Egg-Free)

Low-Carb Hazelnut Butter Cookies

Hazelnuts are wonderfully low in carbs and they taste delicious in various dishes from savory salads to Nutella and other sweet stuff. However, their taste is somewhat powerful and that’s why they need something else to tame down that characteristic flavor. Hazelnut cookies, for example, cry for something milder tasting in addition to hazelnut flour. If you use only hazelnut flour, the cookies taste pretty strong, almost too strong, at least that’s how I find it.

Well, mainstream recipes would naturally use wheat flour in addition to hazelnut flour also for binding, but that’s an inferior option, if you ask me. After so many people ruining their health with excess amount of carbs, starch and grains, I really cannot recommend wheat flour. Luckily almond flour is a perfect option for low-carbers and people who follow ketogenic diet. Almond flour is mild in taste and it accompanies hazelnut flour extremely well. That’s why these delicious Low-Carb Hazelnut Butter Cookies contain both flours in perfect harmony — together with real butter that makes any cookie a mouth-watering delicacy!
