[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a working parent of young kids, I have to say that the low-carb style of cooking has proven to be much more challenging than it was before kids.  Partly, because my kids need carbs, so I have to cook them anyway.  And partly because a lot of the better low-carb meals require more work/time/prep than I have these days.  [/quote]

I don't think it is.

Consider a meal I make all the time: slow cooked pork (kahlua pig on a slow cooker), collard greens, and rice.  If you're making food for a family of 4 and you're the only one eating low carb, then you simply eat the pork and collards.  Your family can eat all 3.  No big deal.

Or if you want to make pasta and meat sauce.  Instead of making normal pasta, you use spiralized zucchini.  http://www.greenplaterule.com/recipes/spiralized-zucchini-noodles-with-pesto/
Personally it tastes better than pasta.

Or if you have a hankering for mashed potatoes, you can make instead mashed cauliflower.  I also think it tastes just as good.[/quote]
