We like to keep the amount of carbs that we eat low as that makes us all feel better. It helps with staying focused and it also helps with having a good amount of energy to get through the day. I’ll share some of my favourites below.

The other day I asked on Facebook what the people’s biggest problem was to eating healthy. I got a lot of comments. Many were about the amount of carbohydrates or grain containing foods they ate. So I promised one of the ladies, Patty, to write a post and share it and tag her in my post on Facebook about it. So this is for Patty. I hope you enjoy the recipes. I have more, but I figured 2 would be a good starting point.
