Low Carb Lunch

I have been meaning to post this low carb lunch I had when I was discovering some newer dishes. This is a hamburger with cauliflower mash and eggplant pizza. It was very satisfying and filling as I remember.

Low Carb Lunch

I had a low carb lunch the other day. I had been eating a lot of starchy and  sugary things and decided to try to make up for it with this lunch. It was leftover baked chicken with baked zucchini and carrot strips. It was quite filling. The zucchini and carrots are a nice combination if you haven't tried it yet.  That is just a saucer by the way, not a dinner-sized plate!

I also baked my own top sirloin roast beef yesterday. I'll use the leftovers for sandwiches instead of buying deli meat as they are loaded with nitrites and sodium. Well, it's a nice change for however long my momentum lasts! I have a good friend who has always fed her family the healthiest food. For example, they will eat salad without any dressing and actually like that. Wouldn't you know it, she has developed a high cholesterol level in middle age (due to family history)!  The irony of this story is that you can eat badly and live longer than someone who has tried their best to live a healthy life!

And Marie at The English Kitchen is having a fabulous giveaway of Jamie Oliver's new cookbook, 15 minute meals...I'd love to win that.
