Snacking Made Simple

Episode | From: Low Carb and Lovin' It

Eating low carb isn’t tough, especially when it comes to snacks. Chef George Stella makes easy low carb options like turkey and Swiss BLT roll-ups, "Mock Raisinettes" with unsweetened chocolate and blueberries, and cinnamon pecans and almonds. George’s youngest son, Christian, also joins in to make his favorite, Philly Steak Salad with cheese. George finishes it off with a beverage everyone will love, a lemon lime slushee, perfect for after school or work. Top 5 Tips 1. Use whole or real mayonnaise. Low-fat or lite is usually an indication that sugar has added to make up for the loss of body and flavor from fat. 2. Most nuts are low carb, but overeating them is a problem. Avoid this by portioning them out. 3. Frozen blueberries can be used as a substitute for raisins. 4. You can set a good example for your kids by eating the right foods. It's also fun to cook with your kids. 5. Keep your fridge full of good low carb foods such as cheese and sliced meats. When anybody in the house is hungry or having a craving, they can just go and find some great low carb selections.

Low Carb Party

Episode | From: Low Carb and Lovin' It

Chef George Stella invites his family and friends over for a dinner party that no one would ever suspect was low carb! He starts off the meal with one of his personal favorites – teriyaki sesame chicken skewers served outside a hollowed out melon half filled with melon balls. Next he prepares fresh Key West crab cakes (without using breadcrumbs) and a mustard dipping sauce; grilled Jamaican jerk pork loin cooked to perfection with a light summer squash salsa; and a healthy dessert –a gratin of fresh berries with a little sour cream. No sooner do the guests arrive than they all dig in to taste the fruits of George’s creations. Top 5 Tips 1. Watch out for mayonnaise that is labeled "light," as it may contain more sugar than regular, full-fat mayo. 2. When cooking with crab, splurge for the real thing. Many imitation crabmeats contain added sugars. 3. Baking powder, along with eggs, will act as a binder in place of the usual carb-heavy breadcrumbs. 4. Pork is an excellent carb-conscious option. It is low in fat, has zero carbs, and usually costs less than beef. 5. Cantaloupe is a good fruit choice for the low carb dieter. Contrary to popular belief, George says that many fruits are acceptable on a low carb diet, but limit your intake.
