Another fabulous prize in our giveaway this month is Jennifer Eloff's national best selling cookbook Splendid low-carbing: A complete guide for low-carb living
. Just looking at the photos on the back of the cover start my mouth watering.
This book contains 191 pages of recipes that will knock your socks off, so hang on to your other apparel. You'd look strange sitting there in your birthday suit reading a cookbook. :)
Seriously though, how can you go wrong with recipes like these:
Cream of Cauliflower Soup
Avocado Walnut Salad
Bacon-Wrapped Meat Loaf
Buttermilk-Parmesan Dressing
Cinnamon-Swirl Egg Bread
Apple Walnut Torte
I could go on and on, but I won't. I'll do something better. I'll share a recipe from this amazing cookbook so you can see for yourself.
BACON CHEESE SPREAD
Your friends will beg you for this recipe!
8 oz light cream cheese, softened (250 g)
1/2 cup mayonnaise (125 mL)
11/2 cups Cheddar cheese (375 mL)
2 tbsp chopped chives, OR (25 mL)
green onions
1 tsp dried parsley (5 mL)
