Sesame Ginger Dressing

You can whisk the following ingredients in a bowl. I used my Magic Blender, that way I did not have to mince the garlic. I left the sesame seeds out and sprinkled them on top. I also added some precooked grilled chicken and roasted slivered almonds to my salad. I substituted honey for the sugar and added a bit extra for sweetness. This is a strong, flavorful dressing.

2 Tablespoons rice-wine vinegar
2 Tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 Tablespoon Asian (dark) sesame oil
1 Tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
4 Teaspoons white or black sesame seeds
½ teaspoon sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
Pinch cayenne

It's been a while...

It's been a while since I have posted on our Low Carbies Blog. The main reason is because of this.... My sweet little baby boy! Thats right! I'm using him as an excuse. Shortly after finding out I was pregnant. The craving for carbs was unbearable! After over a year of not eating sugar or white flour, I started again. Now, I regret it. I ended up with Gestational Diabetes and I think that was even worse than dealing with the cravings! Well, my little man is now 3 months old and its time to get back on track. I really want to get healthy again, maybe not quite as strict. I'm on the search for new low carb recipes. Here's what I've been having for lunch lately! FRUITY CHICKEN SALAD!
