If you're on a low carb diet, there are certain items that you simply MUST have in your kitchen to be able to whip up quick and easy recipes. Here's the list.
Oils
Butter
Mayonnaise
Olive Oil
Spices
Garlic Powder
Minced Garlic
Mustard
Onion Powder
Pepper
Salt
Frozen Veggies
Frozen broccoli
Frozen cauliflower
Frozen green beans
Canned Things
Chicken Broth
Mushrooms
In addition, I *really* recommend keeping a pack or two of low carb tortillas around. They are perfect for making wraps for lunch, breakfast rolls in the morning, and all sorts of other recipes. They're the one "prepared" low carb item that I really use almost daily!
