Read MoreInstant Pot Turkey and Wild Rice Soup (Not Low Carb)
This Instant Pot turkey and wild rice soup is very good. However, the wild rice takes very centre stage and it’s not a taste I’m overly fond of. I guess I thought that the wild rice would take a back stage to the other ingredients in the recipe. Therefore, in the future, I think I…
Read MoreJamie Oliver’s Sticky Miso Chicken Traybake (Not Low Carb)
Jamie Oliver’s Sticky Miso Chicken Traybake https://realfood.tesco.com/recipes/jamies-sticky-miso-chicken-traybake.html This was okay, but not super great. It made a lot of rice. I used chicken legs instead of drumsticks, so I cooked the dish for longer. Also, I parboiled the broccoli for three minutes and soaked the rice in boiling water first, which I’m glad I did.…
Read MoreHomemade Lemon Iced Tea (Recipe)
It is very easy to make keto/low-carb iced tea at home. Brew a pot of your favourite black tea (I like Yorkshire Tea, as one teabag will make a whole pot of tea and it has a nice flavour). Put the brewed tea in the fridge until cold. Pour into a jug and add ice,…

It’s great to read the comments on these pages…
Read MoreChicken Congee: Experimenting with Rice on a Low-carb Diet (Recipe)
Chicken congee! Lots of chicken and broth… and rice, too, of course. Topped with a little sesame oil, chili oil and soy sauce. I am starting to experiment with a small amount of rice in my low-carb maintenance life. [Not a very interesting photo, but a really tasty meal!] This is the recipe I based…

Boil until chocolate is fully melted (it will turn…
Read MoreCan I Eat Rice on a Low-carb Diet? (Chicken Congee Recipe)
You can eat anything you want on a low-carb diet, as long as you keep the DAILY TOTAL carbs at 20 grams or less. But most people completely stop eating sweets, grains (including rice), potatoes, pasta, etc. because you can’t eat much of those foods before you reach 20gm of total carbs. However, 1/2 a…
