Low carb vegan empanadas Oh wow, these empanadas! They have crispy edges, crumbly buttery dough and a nice hearty filling. I didn’t think it would be possible to make something like this with low carb flour, let alone without gluten. I’m loving it. Once you get the hang of rolling out and shaping the dough, these are surprisingly easy […]

Silken chocolate mousse, low carb vegan This tofu mousse is a real life saver if you are craving low carb dessert. It’s super creamy and nicely soft and firm at the same time. You won’t taste the tofu at all. If you want a stronger chocolate flavor, add more tofu. A serving has about 4 g of net carbs and 8 […]

Low carb vegan nut bread This recipe came from a loose leaflet that I found in an old cookbook that we got from David’s granny. I love getting inspiration from these old family recipes. First I veganized it by repalicing the milk and eggs with alternatives, and then I made it low carb by replacing the wheat flour with my […]

Vegan blue cheese I used to love blue cheese before I went vegan, so I really wanted to make a vegan version which has the same creamy texture and deeply savory, tangy flavor. This vegan version doesn't taste exactly like a real moldy blue, but it does a good job at filling that tangy, creamy, savory hole in my life. Even the color is a little blue-greenish, thanks to the pumpkin seeds.

Vegan vegetable moussaka, low carb Moussaka is a really delicious Greek casserole. It's usually made with potatoes, but if you leave those out and use some more eggplant, it becomes a lovely low carb casserole. In stead of the usual bechamel sauce I topped it off with some home made almond cream. The subtle almond taste really gives this dish something special.

Vegan crispbread lunch Don't worry! Everything in this picture is 100% vegan. The Wasa fiber crispbread is a bit of a carb splurge, but it only has about 4 grams of carbohydrate per slice. You could make this with the special Atkins brand crispbread (also vegan!) which only has 2 grams of carbs a piece.

Tofu garlic-herb cream cheese, vegan This tofu-based cream cheese is a new favorite. It's like vegan Boursin! It's a really quick recipe too. Just wizz everything in a high speed blender or foodprocessor, dump it into a container and put it in the fridge overnight to firm up. No long fermentation or hard to find ingredients. I've already brought it to a few potlucks and family events and everybody likes it, vegans and omnis alike, so it's a real winner!
