Drunken Artichokes
An easy “steamed” artichoke recipe for my friend George.
Keto Clam Chowder
This is an easy alternative to Clam Chowder that tastes as good as the original. Instead of potatoes we use a low card alternative like celery root or cauliflower, or they can be omitted completely. It’s creamy with just a hint of spice to warm you up on a cold day.
