New Cookbook, New Series Launched

coverLC15-Mexican2_96

I’m excited to launch a new series of little cookbooks that I call Low Carb 15.  Simply, it is a little cookbook with fifteen recipes covering one subject or category with delicious adapted to low carb recipes.  Since it is almost Cinco de Mayo, I launched with one of my favorite food types — Mexican Food!

I love it and have had to come up with adapted recipes to help keep me in maintenance mode.  I sure don’t want to go back up in weight and it is a struggle all the time to not fall off the low carb path and indulge in some of the great food out there. Sure, I do fall off now and then, but I always try to snap back to the low carb intake. But it’s my mission to these days to try to adapt as many recipes for favorite foods to a low carb version.

This booklet has fifteen great recipes for tried and enjoyed Mexican and Tex-Mex food.  It includes two recipes for soup, two for desserts, one for a spicy cheesy cornbread made with low carb flours, and the rest are main course items.  A few of the recipes have been posted on this blog, but there are several new, never posted ones that are exclusive to this book.

The booklet is only available on eBook.  At the moment, it is available from Smashwords (see widget above) and Amazon Kindle. It will be available on iBooks, Barnes and Noble, and Kobe soon.

So check it out and treat yourself to a copy.  If you like it, please review it. Thanks.  And happy Cinco de Mayo!

Low Carb Sweets Are Possible!

Just in time for the start of the major holiday season that begins with Halloween and runs through New Year’s almost non-stop, my new low carb cookbook “Sweets by the Seasons” is coming out!  Today, in fact!  It’s up on Amazon and at Createspace and ready to help you stay on track during the holidays.

Low carb desserts are absolutely possible and they are very good.  Granted, they don’t taste like cakes and cookies made with wheat flour, but they have great flavor of their own and I actually prefer many of them over the flour ones, particularly when I know they aren’t going to add unwanted pounds to my body or wipe out all the good work I’ve done over the last few month to get my weight down and keep it there.

Cranberry Almond Shortbread Torte

This book will give you over 55 recipes for cakes, cookies, candy, pies and other goodies to carry you through all the holidays and special days in between.  I think there are more like 64 or 65 recipes in the book.  I kept adding them in up until publication date!  A few are posted on the Bistro site, but the majority are new and not posted here or anywhere else by me.  They are exclusively for the book.  Delicious recipes like Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, Cranberry Almond Shortbread Torte,

Dresden-style Stollen bread made low carb.

Lemon Poppyseed Pound Cake, Dresden-style Stollen Bread and so many more.  Great-tasting food that will almost make you feel guilty until you realize they don’t have that many carbs!

So, check out my launch page for more information (and my first ever book trailer video!) and links or go directly to the Amazon link to Sweets by the Season for the Kindle and the Amazon or Createspace links for the print version.

Because low carb doesn’t have to be boring…
