I know, I know. Another thinly disguised low carb high fat recipe. But if you’ve been reading the mystery, low carb is all she wrote. Look: I lost 60 pounds on this diet (no pix, sorry), and now it’s a way of life that’s been touted by such august writers as Gary Taubes. I’ve no intention of going off it.
Not ever.
But it’s not easy to be on this diet and keep kosher at the same time. Food boredom constantly threatens to sabotage me, and real food requires real time spent in the kitchen on food preparation. The good news is that I am loving this food and so is my family.
Here is a side dish you’ll love.
