Looking for some kind of recipe to show you how to make a good pasta replacement?

How about making gnocchi?  This traditional Italian pasta is usually made with mashed potatoes and wheat flour, making it an incredibly high carb item.  You can now make this hearty dish with low carb and gluten free ingredients!  Here is the recipe. Check out This Week's Featured Video below. You can also make even thinner long strands of this dough to make different shapes or you can roll it out between parchment paper and cut it to make fettuccini shapes.  If you use less rutabaga and more melted cheese, you can make a firmer dough that will hold up better when placed in boiling water. Enjoy this tasty, home-made pasta replacement!

Make delicious chocolate or peanut butter fudge with low carb ingredients in 5 minutes!

Yep, you read that right! Fudge in 5 minutes with low carb ingredients.  Low carb fudge is also called Keto Fudge or Fat Bombs because the main ingredient is usually coconut oil or butter (or both!).  You simply melt the coconut oil, sugar substitute (usually stevia or erythritol), and other ingredients until the oil melts and the crystals dissolve. Pour into the mold of your choice and refrigerate. In 5 minutes you have made the fudge and in 20-30 minutes it will harden and be ready to serve.  Check out the video just below in the Featured Video frame to learn how.  Here are the recipes.
