Chicken and Egg Salad
I made this chicken salad with eggs while looking for a dish with lots of protein and no sweet stuff. It disappears pretty quickly. Chop chicken into smaller bits to serve on crackers at parties.
Cheesy Turnip and Potato Gratin
Replacing turnips for some of the potatoes in this cheesy turnip and potato gratin recipe not only reduces carbs but also adds another layer of flavor. I also use half-and-half instead of heavy cream to lighten things up.
