Easy Romanian Bell Pepper and Cheese (Ardei umpluti cu branza) – Low Carb Keto
My Granny cooked without counting calories, used plenty of fat of all kinds and deep fried almost every piece of meat. Her cooking was greasy, yes, but to me it was the most wonderful food on the planet and I still miss her sarmale (rolled cabbage), ardei umpluti (stuffed peppers), fish roe (salata de icre) and friptura (steak) and eggplant dip (salata de vinete).
Easy Low Carb Creamy Carrots and Mushrooms in White Sauce
Easy Low Carb Creamy Carrots and Mushrooms in White Sauce is one of the most popular recipes in our household. We love heavy cream (sour cream in Romania), carrots, mushrooms and green onion. You can add chicken, butter, white wine, ginger, curry or lime leaves to it. Don’t hesitate to add ingredients to your liking to this basic recipe!
Rich Baked Eggplant with Cheese and Tomato
First, you should know that eggplant is a keto/low carb food. So cooking eggplant with olive oil, butter, cheese, tomato, etc is keto friendly and delicious at the same time.
Low Carb Romanian Roasted Peppers (Ardei copti)
The famous Low Carb Romanian Roasted Peppers (Ardei copti) now available on Cooking Romania by Vivi! Thanks to Adara, the full recipe with video is now online for you to try and decide for yourself if we Romanians are unreasonably mad about our Roasted Peppers (Ardei copti) or for the right reason.
Best Red Fruity Smoothie – Low Carb Version Included
The thing about smoothies is that THEY ARE REALLY FAST AND FUN TO MAKE! Smoothies are great for breakfast as they are loaded with vitamins and fiber. They help digestion and have an instant happiness effect.
Easy Romanian Roasted Eggplant Dip (Salata de Vinete)
There are a few food smells that you never forget if you live in Romania: the smell of sarmale (rolled cabbage), vinete coapte (roasted eggplant), cozonac (sweet bread – on Christmas and Easter), muraturi (pickles – in fact, the pungent smell of boiled vinegar and spices in this case).
Easy Creamy Keto Cauliflower Bake with Cheese and Bacon
Cauliflower is quite popular in 2020, as it is totally keto friendly and somehow neutral when it comes to flavor and taste. My Granny used to say that boiled cauliflower smells like something bad – I’ll let you guess of what exactly :)).
Easy Keto/Low Carb Sausage, Cheese, Avocado and Vegetables Meal
So much has been written lately about the low carb keto diet and it caught my eye a few years ago. I went on the low carb diet on November 2018, and have lost 11 kilos since. Never felt better! So, here is an example of one of my once-per-day meals (I also fast for at least 16 hours/day): easy keto/low carb sausage, cheese, avocado and vegetables meal. It is ready in a under 10 minutes and it takes no effort whatsoever.
Bacon-Wrapped Bok Choy
You can pretty much wrap anything in bacon and make foods even more palatable. I don’t think I’ve seen this particular combination before and thought I would give it a try. If you like bacon wrapped asparagus, for example, you might want to give this a try.
