    I’m not trying to fuss but I’m on a LCHF way of eating now & a handful of these recipes are not low carb friendly. To those sharing & those new they may not know because they’re on a website. Thank you.

      A few may not be as low in carbs as some dieters may like, but they are low carb (or at least low carb versions of favorite dishes). For instance, someone on induction (Atkins) wouldn’t be able to eat many of these, but that’s because the carbs are so restricted. I’d recommend that anyone put the ingredients into a carb counter/nutritional calculator first before trying a new recipe. 🙂 And, as always, if you see an ingredient that isn’t as carb-friendly as you’d like, substitute it with your own!
