Keep calm! I’m just a beginner, this is a little practice in my sourdough journey. I forgot to dust the dough before scoring, can you tell? So I improvised and used my fingers to dust around it.🤭

Personally, I’m fascinated by the fermentation process. Sourdough seems to sit better with me, so I’m happy to enjoy a slice or two as part of my low-carb lifestyle.

I’m baking another one over Thanksgiving long weekend, so hopefully I can perfect it a little more! 😀

A few good tools, like my @thermoworks Gravitas kitchen scale and thermapen, silicone trivet and universal lid definitely help me feel more confident with my baking. Dm me for details or check my bio, they have some good deals.

Do you enjoy sourdough bread while eating low carb?

➡️🍂 Swipe through the fall vibes!

I didn’t realize it, but my morning walk along a local river and trail must have inspired breakfast! 🍂😊

All those gorgeous fall colours and textures had me coming home and putting together a quick Sunday fry-up with eggs, crispy bacon, buttery mushrooms and leafy greens over half a toasted croissant. So yummy! 🍳🥓🍄‍🟫🍃🥐

Canadian trails really are something else this time of year. 🍁 So much colour, beautiful scenery and as its salmon run season we also spotted a few salmon making their way upstream 🐟 (Swipe til the end)

Fall is definitely my favourite season! 🍂🍁
How about you?

Swedish Meatballs!… just my version with ground turkey using almond flour instead of breadcrumbs, served with mash, carrots, green beans, gravy and cranberry sauce. It’s a week-night favourite and so perfect for those chilly autumn nights ahead. 🍁✨

I’m usually mindful about what goes on my plate and try to keep things low carb while staying active daily. Sometimes I find a great low-carb swap, or I just use what I have and pay attention to the amounts. Balance, right? 😉

I considered cauliflower mash, but have you seen the price of cauliflower lately? 😌

Recipe below 👇🏽 Let me know if you try it!

Turkey meatballs:
1 lb ground turkey
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
½ cup almond flour
⅓ cup Parmesan (grated)
1 egg
Salt, oregano, allspice, nutmeg + pepper

Mix, chill for 20 minutes, roll into meatballs and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.

Quick gravy:
Make a roux with 2 tbsp butter + 2 tbsp flour. Gradually add 2¼ cups chicken broth, then whisk in ¼ cup cream and 2 tsp Bisto gravy powder (or any gravy granules) . Let it thicken and season to taste. Then add the meatballs. Enjoy!

Just dunking my Orange and Cranberry Biscotti into my coffee… as it’s National Biscotti Day AND National Coffee Day. ☕️🍊😀

What are the chances? ✨✨

I took my existing low carb lemon biscotti recipe on my blog (I use almond flour) and gave it a little fall twist by swapping the lemon for orange zest / rind (finely chopped) and added unsweetened dried cranberries. 🍊🍂 Perfect for a little fall baking and even better with coffee!

I also put my @thermoworks Gravitas Precision Kitchen Scale to the test, and so far I’m loving it! 💙

I couldn’t decide between a cheesy omelette and a fried egg… so I made both 😃

A quick brunch before heading out the door, using my induction cooktop (it’s so fast!). I had nothing to scoop it all up with, so I made some quick chips using @sonoratortillas net zero tortillas.

Just brushed them with a mix of hot sauce & oil, then air fried them until crisp. 👌

It's my same go to ingredients 🙃, just put together a little differently 😂

Staying low carb means either eating fewer slices of pizza… or making a low carb crust so you can eat the whole thing 😀🍕🥦

I used almond flour, cottage cheese, egg, broccoli and chia seeds. Just a few swaps from an existing broccoli pizza crust recipe on my blog that I’m giving a try!

It came out as a soft, tender pizza base with crispy edges, and I really liked the texture and flavour 🥦🍕more on this one soon!

While I was back in the UK, the family came to visit… and of course, I had to feed them! 😂🇬🇧

Stuffed twice baked potatoes for 15, loaded up with fresh mixed veggies, taco seasoning, cheddar cheese and garnished with chives (don't ask me why I chopped them long… I have no explanation 🤦🏽‍♀️)

Nothing fancy, just 2 big trays of comfort food, with some coleslaw, sour cream and a big salad my sister brought along.

We’re quite a bunch! Siblings, partners, kids and even the kids’ kids. ❤️🥳

Lazy Chicken Tortilla Soup, loaded up with all the good stuff while keeping it lower in carbs. Plus, when my Instant Pot does all the work, my only job is the toppings…I did mention it was lazy, right?

I’ve added the recipe below 👇

INSTANT POT LAZY CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP
Serves 4

YOU’LL NEED
• 2 chicken breasts
• ½ red onion, diced
• 1 red pepper, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 can diced tomatoes (14 fl oz)
• 5 cups chicken broth
• 1 tbsp cumin
• 1 tbsp paprika
• 2 tbsp Southern Spice Blend (or taco/fajita seasoning)
• Salt & pepper
• 1 tbsp cornmeal, optional

TOPPINGS 🌶️🥑🧀
Low-carb tortilla strips, avocado, jalapeños, cheese, sour cream, green onions, paprika & lime.

METHOD
Add veggies and garlic to the Instant Pot. Place chicken on top and sprinkle with spices. Add tomatoes and broth.

Pressure cook 5 mins. Once done, let naturally release for 10 mins, then carefully release remaining pressure.

Remove and shred the chicken. Optional: mix cornmeal with a little broth to make a paste, then stir back into the soup to thicken slightly.

Return chicken to the pot, season to taste and serve with ALL your favourite toppings. 👌

Such an easy dump-and-go Mexican tortilla soup, full recipe is on my blog (in bio) or dm me. I’ll share a step by step reel soon ✨

How would you top yours?

I made low carb hoisin sauce 🙌🏼 and now I’m obsessed with bringing a favourite restaurant experience home! 🤎

This Peking-style chicken has that perfect mix of sweet, savoury, slightly spicy and aromatic flavours, with juicy chicken thighs grilled until beautifully charred. Add cool, crisp cucumber, fresh spring onions and a drizzle of that rich hoisin sauce, then wrap it all up in low-carb tortillas (or traditional Chinese pancakes if you prefer).

Quick and flavourful, let me know if you try it 🙌🏼

✨ Low carb
✨ Naturally thickened without using xanthan gum
✨ Gluten-free when made with gluten-free soy sauce or tamari

LOW-CARB HOISIN SAUCE
(1 cup)
¼ cup soy sauce
4 tbsp erythritol/monk fruit sweetener
2 tbsp natural smooth peanut butter
2 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp grated ginger
1 tsp crushed garlic
1 tsp gochujang
1 tsp Chinese five-spice
¼–½ cup water

METHOD:
Add everything to a saucepan and whisk until combined (start with 1/4 cup water then add it as needed). Bring to a slight boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally. Let cool, the sauce will thicken further.

PEKING-STYLE CHICKEN
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
⅓ cup homemade low-carb hoisin sauce

METHOD:
Marinate chicken in ⅓ cup hoisin for 15-30 minutes. Grill on the BBQ until nicely charred and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Rest, then slice thinly.

Full deets for the hoisin sauce is on my website, linked in bio. ⬆️

Save this for your next weeknight meal! 🔖

I wanted to share 5 of my best brunches from my wellness highlight to my feed, but somehow I couldn’t narrow it down.😆

Mostly low carb and built around a good balance of protein, fibre and healthy fats, with lean meats, tuna, eggs, colourful veggies and fruit making regular appearances. 🥑🥚🥬🍓

So lets start with Brunch 1:
Greek yogurt with seasonal fruit and golden berries, which were SO juicy!!! 💛✨

…➡️15 slides later! 😆

Hopefully, you found some tasty and healthy brunch inspo! 🥑🍳☕️

Did anything catch your eye? 👀
