Name: Cauliflower Pasta

It does not mean that you are on a low carb diet that you cannot eat pasta anymore. However, we need to make some changes on the actual pasta before we can enjoy it. This is what I did so I can have the “pasta” that I like while still having the low carb diet that I need. You can use this recipe whenever you make a low carb sauce, and you need to pair it with low carb pasta.

Name: Lentil Soup

I read an article from the Heart Association that lentils do wonder for the heart and blood pressure. I listed it on top of my grocery list, and I was not disappointed. Lentils taste great, but they are made even better because of their low carb content and their texture when they are cooked using the crockpot. You can have this recipe throughout the challenge, but it is best taken as early as the first few days.

Name: Kale and Parmesan

Another popular food item that I had to try was kale. It has a lot of health benefits aside from being low carb. Use this towards the end of the challenge though because it may have low carb content but it is slightly above the carb limit for the first phases of the challenge.

Name: Sweet and Sour Tofu

Whenever I hear and cook tofu, I often think of it being soft or sometimes soggy. When I ate out at a Chinese restaurant, I was surprised at how crunchy their tofu is. I asked how they did it and thankfully it was not part of their restaurant secrets. Turns out you need to prepare your tofu aside from draining and rinsing it. A tablespoon of starch is all that you need to thoroughly coat the cubed tofu and when you can fry it to create a crunchy shell but still softcore.

Name: Brussels Sprouts Dip

Another veggie that I have to sneak in for my kids is Brussels sprouts. So imagine my sheer and secret joy when I find them eating the dip with their potato chips and other snacks. They asked me what it was, and I said it is cheese dip, and they asked for more. Little they know there is about a pound of the veggie in the bowl in front of them. I joined in knowing that it had a low carb content that I wanted, and I hope you will enjoy too.
