With a garden full of mint, a new bottle of Jameson, and the Kentucky Derby scheduled to run, what’s a resourceful Southern gal to do but whip up a batch of mint juleps? A traditional julep, of course, is made with sugar, but otherwise there isn’t much too low-carb hostile in them, so I set…
The Spanish tradition of tapas has taken the world by storm, which for low carbers is a good thing! So many of the little bites are in and of themselves friendly to a low carb devotee out for a nibble and a glass of tinto! Take this one, for instance, that appeared in Chef Jose…
