Low carb recipes blogs?

I used to hate cooking. Loathe it. But I really started to love it a few years ago. And now post-VSG, I am absolutely head over heels. I think it's because I focus so much more on quality than I do on quantity now. I pay much closer attention to all the little flavors and nuances of spices than I ever have before. I'm learning what combinations work and which don't.

I am carb sensitive (eating carbs is like taking drugs for me, it's a vicious craving cycle) so I fully embrace a low-carb lifestyle now, with a few exceptions thrown in when the time is right. Sooo, that brings me to my reason for posting.

I only have a few low-carb recipe blogs and websites that I know of and use regularly.

http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/recipes.html

But I need more. I've resorted to visiting "normie" recipe blogs and only using the low-carb recipes or adjusting the recipes to be lower carb. Pinterest is something I use a lot now, but there's so much carb-laden temptation on there, sometimes I just have to avoid it for awhile. It'd be more helpful and easier to just have a few more low-carb sites to visit.

Any suggestions??

Skinnytaste has a baked chicken nugget recipe that I can't wait to try!

Here are some of mine (in addition to the ones you have already listed) Some are for primal / paleo because I find that these are a great fit for my inclination toward whole food / low carb / higher protein and fat.

I love cooking too, (in a previous life was a chef and a pastry chef at various times) and have really enjoyed finding unique recipes or adapting old favourites to make them healthier for me and my partner and daughter.

Try http://www.dlife.com/diabetes/diabetic-recipes/ it is actually a website designed for diabetics but they have a huge low carb recipe collection that is awesome. On their site you can browse by category or by carb content, low cal or low fat etc which is awesome, I use it all the time.
