A delicious low-carb alternative to a traditional cheesesteak sub. You can add any of your favorite cheesesteak add-ins to the filling: onions, peppers, jalapeños.
I like to use this pre-sliced shaved beef steak. It makes for a quick and easy dinner prep. I usually give this pre-shaved meat a coarse chop so that there are no large slices of beef.

All of the delicious flavors of pizza, without all of the bread. This makes a fun alternative to traditional pizza, even for the one child who doesn’t let me fill hers with sausage, pepperoni, or mozzarella cheese. But then- she also doesn’t eat pizza, so at least she likes a basic version of this meal.
To make these chicken rolls, it is important to pound the chicken breast thin between layers of plastic wrap. If you are starting with a large breast, you can either cut it completely in half into two thinner pieces before pounding, or you can butterfly the breast first before pounding.
I like to fill them with pepperoni, cooked sausage, and just a little bit of sauce and cheese. Here are a few process pictures (ignore the skinny little roll on the end without any of the delicious meat inside).

After a week spent outside in the beautiful sunshine and warm weather (in mid-February!), the temperature has taken a nose dive this weekend. That makes this a perfect time to make a hearty curry for (maybe?) this last venture into winter.
Chicken Tikka Masala is a spice-filled, tomato-based Indian curry full of delicious tender chicken.
I use a Tandoori spice blend from Spiceology to marinate the chicken before roasting it and adding it to the curry base. You could also use a prepared tandoori paste, or a mixture of garam masala, turmeric, coriander, and Kashmiri chili powder.
Serve over rice with naan bread, if desired. Recipe for homemade Naan Bread:

We had some leftover smoked pulled pork in the freezer, and I decided to use it to top some jalapeño popper appetizers. Now I will always set aside pulled pork so I never have to make them any other way!
I didn’t have any barbecue sauce prepared when I decided to make these, so I mixed the pork with just a bit of some homemade enchilada sauce that I had on hand, and we really liked it that way. Whichever you choose, use just enough to barely moisten the pork.

Chicken breasts cooked in a coconut milk yellow curry and seasoned with dried and fresh basil.
I left the chicken in serving-sized pieces and served over brown rice and roasted asparagus. Without the rice, the meal is a perfect low-carb main dish.
You could also cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and stir-fry with other vegetables (any selection of: asparagus, zucchini, red peppers, green beans, pea pods, carrots, mushrooms) and serve the dish in a bowl as a curry/soup.

DAY 12: Sugar-Free Orange Shortbread
These are my favorite sugar-free cookie. The shortbread cookie is soft and delicate, and not overly sweet. Drizzling the orange cookies with sugar-free dark chocolate combines two of my favorite flavors.
