...it tends to get stale. 😂
Anyway, hey you!
Our family recently celebrated Gwen's 3rd birthday (🥳🎈🥺) and spent some time looking at pictures from the day she was born. She was so precious and tiny...and so was I! 🤣 I don't mean to sound vain, but since I had gestational diabetes during my pregnancy with her, and was eating super fresh and low carb, I was the healthiest I'd ever been.
Although I did swear off salads for several months after Gwen was born, during my pregnancy I learned that eating low carb doesn't have to mean eating plain vegetables, simple scrambled eggs, or sticks of string cheese.
The low carb recipes I'm sharing today are not only craveable and filling, but colorful, fresh, and FUN to eat. Which one will you try first?
