Low-Carb Independence Day

Low-Carb Independence Day By Laura Dolson In the U.S., Independence Day (Fourth of July) is coming up. Traditional celebrations include fireworks, parades, and, of course, food! Whether or not you live in the U.S., we can all celebrate "independence from carbs" with these recipe and menu ideas.

Yum!   READ NOW Grilled Asparagus  This is one of the fastest vegetables to make in the world, and people always like it.  It cooks in a very few minutes on the grill.
