What’s with All the Food?

I thought I'd do a post explaining why there have been a lot of pictures of food showing up on the blog all of a sudden.

Basically, this is something I've been doing on Facebook for some time. Facebook makes it easy to share pictures, and for a while I've been posting images of things I cook.

As many people know, I am an advocate of low carb eating, and so I've been preparing low carb dishes for myself. My Facebook friends have even convinced me to work on a low carb cookbook, so that's what I'm doing. The pictures I'm posting are of the test recipes.

For some time I've wanted to cross post the same material here on the blog that I'm posting in other venues, including Facebook, so that people can access my stuff through their preferred means without having to miss  someting.

I've now been able largely to get over the crossposting hurdle, so now what I'm putting up here (and elsewhere) is going up on Facebook and visa versa. (For the most part, anyway. There's no need to crosspost this post to Facebook, because my FB friends are already aware of what I'm doing. Mostly.)

So that's why the pictures of food all of a sudden: They're test recipes for a low carb cookbook I'm working on.

Incidentally, I've made video recipes of some of the dishes, which you can check out on my YouTube channel.

I also post other people's video recipes if I'm basing my recipe primarily on one of theirs. Kent Altena and Cooking with Dog are two of my favorites.

  1. I guess if I was interested in your facebook activities I would have added you as a friend

  2. +JMJ+ AH HA! I knew it! It is that you’re hungry! OK, just kidding. It’s great that you’re doing this. It’s an inspiration to the rest of us to watch the ol’ carbs. Keep the posts coming!

  3. Hello Jimmy,
    First the black sheepdog and now you are leaving apologetics to become Julia Child! I’m not sure how I’m going to survive this!
