Over 30 Low Carb Family Meals
Truthfully, I love all these low carb family meals, but there is one in particular that my children have been going nuts over. It is a heavy S, so not very weight loss-friendly for the mamas, but it's still on plan! Just use it in moderation. Remember, just because it is permissible, does not mean it is beneficial! However, in this case, I'm willing to indulge a wee bit because it's just so truly tasty. My Table of Three has a truly remarkable Chili Dog Bake that I'm confident your entire family will enjoy!
It is on the list below, or you can follow this link to get to the Chili Dog Bake!

Tomato Feta Chicken
This recipe was born after I made my Fuel Pull Greek Chicken one night and my husband said “You know, this would go really good with that feta tomato stuff you make.” The “feta stuff” he was referring to is my feta saganaki, where you cook it until the feta gets all melty and you can spread it on pita bread. So he wanted the feta/tomato melted to the chicken. Ok, I can do that.
Low Carb Family Meals Soups

There are times that I will add cooked brown rice and corn to this dish for a THM Crossover for my working men.

Oven Baked Salmon Fillets With Creamy Horseradish Dijon Topping
Are you a fish lover or a hater? I love fish but salmon was always one of my least favorites. I liked the canned version but found the fillets too strong and fishy tasting. Somewhere along the way, I realized salmon can stand up to a lot more than salt and pepper. I started trying recipes that paired it with bold flavors like ginger and soy sauce. These masked the strong salmon taste and I quickly started to enjoy it more.
