This book is dedicated to first and foremost, my husband. Chris has tasted everyone of these recipes and has honestly given me his opinion. He has stood by me when I wasn’t for sure if this book would get done. Supporting me through the long journey. Marrying Chris was my dream and finishing this book was my goal – a goal my dream helped me reach. Thank you for a lifetime of love, support and laughs.

You are truly my BEST FRIEND.

About the Author

INTRODUCTION

My husband and I have been living a low-carb lifestyle since 2002. Chris lost 55 pounds and I lost 40 pounds. It took us awhile to figure out that you don’t need all the complicated specialty products to live this real life plan. It’s a simple lifestyle filled with the food you find mostly in the outer isles of your local supermarket. We are very busy as are most people so I wanted to create recipes that are fast, simple and comforting for our lifestyle. I love to cook so it made it very easy for me to re-create low-carb yummy dishes. I hope that they will help you live a Real lifestyle. The best thing about this book…they are all real recipes that anyone would eat. Simple and normal and no clichés.

Enjoy!
