Low-Carb Chocolate And Peanut Bark – Replace MMs today!
Those who know me, know I absolutely love chocolate! Chocolate with orange flavour, chocolate with salt, chocolate with caramel, hot chocolate, chocolate raisins, you name it. Chocolate with nuts is no exception, and one of my favourite combinations is chocolate with peanuts! Before going on a low-carb diet me and my husband would buy those M&M type chocolates and eat them when we were watching a movie on date night. Now that we’re on a low-carb diet, shop bought chocolates are out of the equation. But I have found a diet-friendly substitute: chocolate peanut bark (in our case it is low-carb because it’s sweetened with erythritol, but you can use…

Now you may already know this, but although I love chocolate, I’m also quite health-conscious and at the moment I’m following a low-carb eating plan.

Healthy Egyptian Meal – This Is A Hit With The Kids!
Hi all! Today I thought I would share a recipe I made last week, and which was a huge hit, despite the fact that there was no meat in sight! Now we’re not vegetarians by a long shot, but I do make vegetarian meals occasionally. This recipe in particular is actually based on an Egyptian recipe I remember one of my brothers used to make when I was a child. He always loved making exotic dishes. 😀 I don’t actually have that recipe written down anywhere, so I just used my basic cooking instincts plus my memory of what the different elements were: green lentils, tomato sauce and poached or…
