The Best Southern Fried Cabbage

March 2, 2017 By elviira 10 Comments

Naturally low in carbs, this popular Southern-style side is both tasty and comforting. Cabbage is a wonderful low-carb veggie full of nutrients and health benefits. Onion is a must: there is a rare savory dish that doesn’t call for onion! So, it is also with this side dish; onion adds a lot to the flavor — especially when it’s deliciously caramelized — and simply cannot be left out. Last but not least, just the right amount of the all-time favorite low-carb ingredient, bacon, gives a cozy, full-bodied flavor and makes the dish hearty. I prefer my Southern Fried Cabbage soft, almost mushy, but please feel free to leave your cabbage crispy if you desire. This is sure to become one of your favorite keto cabbage recipes!

Simple Beef Bone Broth Recipe

September 29, 2016 By elviira 7 Comments

Here’s my simple take on one of my favorite superfoods, bone broth. It’s made from beef bones and jam-packed with many nutrients that help improve digestive and joint health.

There are many ways to include bone broth into your diet, but I prefer to drink it straight out of mug, piping hot, seasoned with an ample amount of unrefined sea salt. You could also use it as a soup base, or add it to any recipe that needs a little extra flavor or moisture.

If you wonder why I have been quiet for almost two weeks here on my blog, the reason is that I have been writing guest posts and planning for my next product. And as always, I have also posted some recipes exclusively on my Facebook page, however I’m planning a blog post about those to ensure that the readers who are not in Facebook can also enjoy those recipes.

Usually my Facebook-exclusive recipes are created on extempore basis, when I haven’t taken any progress photos and when I don’t explain very much about the development process. However, I consider the recipes as worth sharing because I’m sure that people will enjoy them. Below is a photo of my Sugar-Free Peppermint Fudge, which was originally just an experiment from scratch, but which turned out the most scrumptious and palatable treat!

Fat Burning Soup — Great for the Flu Too! (Dairy-Free)

January 1, 2014 By elviira 50 Comments

I call this “fat burning soup” because it’s low in carbs and has ingredients like cayenne pepper and coconut oil which boost metabolism and help burn fat.

This easy soup is a great option if you have made some New Year’s resolutions and want to lose some weight. On the other hand, if you are suffering from the flu or happen to be otherwise under the weather, this soup is quick to fix, it gives immediate relief and helps you recover sooner.
