Glad you found us! Lowcarbing has lots of potential for fast, nutritious meals and snacks, once we get past the notion of bread and sandwiches.

Karen Barnaby, our resident master Chef, has posted some delicious and quick menu ideas in our Tips column. At the top of this page, click on Tips in the red menu bar. Look for "Jazz up your Induction" by Karen. Or, to open a new window, click here http://www.lowcarb.ca/tips/tips001.html. Karen's latest recipe for soup is delicious and fast(I just made it the other day). Have a looky in her column http://www.lowcarb.ca/karen.html for this and more ideas ...

Try making a batch of lowcarb Revolution Rolls, from our Recipe column, again at the top of this page or http://www.lowcarb.ca/recipes/bread108.html if you're hankering for sandwich or hamburger type buns. This recipe makes a half dozen rolls, that are a little less soggy and don't fall apart quite as readily as Atkins original rolls. While you're in the recipe section, check out some of the other ideas, there's lots of other recipes for breads and muffins that kids would enjoy. Wa'il's "Shepherd's Loaf" only SOUNDS complicated; it's not really, and makes a very delicious whole grain lowcarb bread that slices easily and makes great toast.

On the subject of lunch and deli meats, here is a case of quality really makes a difference. Most of the less expensive, economy family-style lunch meats, weiners etc are full of dextrose, cornsyrup solids, starch and cereal fillers. The average national-branded weiner only has 10 or fewer grams of protein, the rest being fat, salt and filler. Although more costly, a slice of lean black forest ham or roast turkey breast might be a better choice.

Enjoy, and happy lowcarbing
