Yipee! Go Karen Go! Please keep us advised of the publication date.
Karen, if you do write a low carb vegetarian cookbook, I'll bet it would be a great hit! ...I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!
etoiles, one thing I have learned in trying new lower carb recipes is that if I critically compare low carb to the original versions I will always be disappointed.
What I do now is I think of low carb eating as a culinary adventure, separate and apart from the way I used to eat. I know that I feel so much healthier eating the way I do, and I know I can NEVER go back.
When I bake (or buy) low carb breads for example, I know the texture will be more spongy and different than regular breads. So I've learned to appreciate low carb breads for what they are, a tasty substitute for something else. The funny thing is, though, tastes really do change. I really enjoy low carb breads now because they are high in protein and very filling and leave me sated, where a piece of regular bread just starts those hunger cravings that can turn into binges. That in itself is worth it to me. The same with the new low carb pastas. Sure they don't taste the same as regular pasta, but they still taste good and are very filling.
I really appreciate all the new low carb recipes and products that are coming out, because this is the way I will eat while I am still here on this green earth!
So here's to good eating!
