I promise you I'm not going to be one of those people who posts about healthy food every day, but I really am working hard to make some changes in my life right now, so I get excited when I find things to make that a little easier. My personal goals are to stop eating so much sugar/white flour/processed food, and seeing as how I hate cooking, that can be a little difficult.
But I just found this website and I think I'm going to have to do a little more cooking in the future: Candice's Low Carb Recipes. Warning: it will make your mouth water. It is mostly baked goods - cookies, muffins, cupcakes, pies and the like, but a Snickerdoodle with only two carbs per cookie? Holy Shiites! She's even got a grilled cheese sandwich recipe, and I'm so trying her lasagna next week. My only complaint is that she doesn't update ten times a day!
Speaking of low-carb eatin', I came up with my own recipe today. OK, so it's not really a recipe, and I didn't exactly come up with it, but it's about as close as I come. It's actually a take-off on a recipe from another one of my favorite healthy eating websites: Dashing Dish.
I bought these low-carb tortillas at Kroger the other day. They are made of oats and soy flour and have tons of fiber. They're really good - I use them for tacos, fajitas and even in place of a hamburger bun or to wrap a sandwich.
As suggested in the original recipe, I cut the tortillas into little circles (I used the lid to my Naturally Fresh salad dressing jar, because it was the perfect size.) I put each one of them into a regular size muffin tin and sprinkled some Parmesan cheese on it, and then I put a teaspoon of store-bought pizza sauce, a piece of pepperoni, and a chunk of fresh mozzarella. Mine didn't look nearly as good as Katie's at DD, but they were yummy! And they're so quick and easy. I'll definitely be making them again. (I snapped this with my iPhone before I ate them...)

Those tortillas? Canola oil, wheat gluten, xanthan gum? Yup that's processed food.
Yes, I am aware of what's in them. Nowhere did I say they were not processed.
