9 of My Favorite Low-Carb Dishes

If you're trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle, you've probably heard by now that your sugar/carb intake should be limited. Thankfully, the nutrition experts have spoken, and there are so many innovative ways to replace carbs with veggies without feeling deprived.

Over the last two years, I have meal prepped almost every week in order to keep a healthy lifestyle. I've listed below some of my favorite low-carb recipes.

1. Cauliflower Mash.

Mashed potatoes are my weakness. Thanks to cauliflower mash, I don't feel like I'm missing out too much. I find myself using some type of cauliflower variation in almost every meal! Here is my favorite cauliflower mash recipe.

2. Eggplant Rollatini.

God, thank you for eggplant. When I make this, I feel like I'm in an Italian restaurant.

3. Chipotle. Basically.

This is my current meal of the week! If you feel like you can't give up Chipotle, make this. You won't regret it.

4. Cabbage Enchiladas.

What? Yes. It's delicious and it's another recipe that will satisfy your craving for Mexican food without making you hate your life the next morning. Try it here. You're welcome.

5. Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps.

I love chicken salad. Fortunately, most chicken salads are actually low-carb if you watch your dressing counts. I love this recipe, but sometimes I'll make buffalo chicken salad recipes too.

6. Balsamic Chicken Cauli Rice Bowl.

This is for you picky eaters out there.

7. Roasted Red Radishes.

I'll scream it from the rooftops: I love potatoes!! These taste just like roasted red potatoes. Have faith and try them, you won't be disappointed.

8. Cauliflower Pizza Casserole.

Yes, I know it sounds absurd, but it's actually delicious and I've made this recipe multiple times.

9. Cauliflower Fried Rice.

You will feel like you're eating at a hibachi place when you try this. It's one of my absolute favorites!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
