| Gluten Free Low Carb Broccoli Casserole |
Lately, I have been working on creating
low carb recipes. I have been studying what ingredients are considered
to be low carb and which ones are not. Meats of all kinds (beef, pork,
chicken, etc.), and fish and shellfish are considered to be low carb, as
well as most vegetables that grow above ground, except for vegetables
like peas, corn, lima beans, etc. which are not recommended. Also, to my
surprise, when eating a low carb diet, it is also recommended to use
full-fat dairy products rather than regular or low fat because the
manufacturers often add sugar in the production of them.
So far, we have been eating a low or no
carb diet for about a week now, and the family and I are liking what is
occurring. I’m not getting hungry during the day, so I am not munching
to fill that void, and the pounds are beginning to drop away. Even
though I never really used low fat products, I did try to watch the
amount of full fat items that I used in my past recipes. I have to
admit, I am enjoying not worrying about that right now. I know that
after a bit of this trial period, I will have to find balance between
what is now, and what was, but for now, I am enjoying this process.
So, for the next few weeks, I will be featuring not only gluten free recipes, but also low carb recipes, and this is my first in the series. This Gluten Free Low Carb Broccoli Casserole was simply divine and delicious. We enjoyed it very much, and I know you will as well!
