Eggs are a great source of protein, so why not add a little Hollandaise sauce and turkey bacon (I don’t eat pork) and have a low carb Eggs Benny!

You will need to poach your eggs, and crisp up your turkey bacon, you will want this to be just finished as your Hollandaise is ready. Place the turkey back down on the plate, poached eggs on top of the turkey bacon, then top with the Hollandaise sauce. Yes, traditionally it is served with an english muffin or bagel – but that is not in the spirit of low carb – so we leave it out! But you can add it back easily for those in your household who can enjoy this dish without the low carb part.

My Hollandaise recipe:

Ingredients:

1 cup butter (melted)

4 egg yolks

2 Tbsp lemon juice

1/4 tsp salt

Small dash of Dijon mustard

Fresh Parsley chopped

Fresh Tarragon Chopped

Instructions:

Mix the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, mustard, parsley and tarragon.

Slowly add hot melted butter (be careful when melting not to burn!)

Whisk all ingredients together until thick.

Serve immediately over your poached eggs, turkey bacon.

Also wonderful over blanched asparagus and a small amount of cherry tomatoes which you can use instead of bread!

Topping with grated cheese is also good!

This recipe is quick and easy, and you can easily store the sauce to use later so that it’s even quicker and easier after that.

It’s a perfect low carb recipe that tastes delicious!

The first thing I get asked when people realize that I have been on this health, diet, lifestyle change is:

“What do you eat?”

People have the misconception that I don’t eat fresh vegetables – or vegetables at all.

And when I tell them what I do eat, the very next thing I get asked:

Where did you find the recipes?

Truth is, years of growing up with a mother who is an amazing cook, years of working in restaurants, and years of experimentation… I come up with the recipes mostly myself. Yes, it is a foundation of classic cooking, experience, and old recipes changed so that it fits my healthy low carb lifestyle – but mostly – it comes from my brain.

There are old classics made new (Want Garlic Mashed Potatoes? How about Garlic Mashed Cauliflower – I can’t get away from sharing when I bring them to work, people smell them and have to have some – and I’m great with that), some are experiments gone Horribly right (Don’t ask what went wrong).

So I decided I should share my creations.

Like them, love them, hate them… They are here for you to try.

These are also recipes I make into quick meals!

I make my own ‘frozen dinners’ where I cook certain things on mass and freeze them. So I can grab a healthy home made lunch or dinner from my freezer and take it to work and simply reheat. Doing this not only do you have something so healthy and good for you, but something on your diet – that everyone wishes they were eating! Much better than take out – or some canned crap!

So here I will start sharing my recipes, ideas, creations, and how you can turn them in to one off meals or a pre cooked freezer full of healthy goodness.

So stay tuned!

(My diet and lifestyle is not for everyone. Please consult a Dr, trainer, or health expert before doing a low carb lifestyle change. If you live in the Victoria BC area, I can refer you to my trainer. But if you are just wanting to enjoy these recipes as part of your regular day – Good Eating!)
