The Easiest Low-Carb Recipes
If you own my low-carb cookbooks, you’ll have all the macros available to you! If you’re thinking of buying my New York Times Best Seller, there’s a free sneak peek of every recipe here!
Nutrition Information for Website Recipes
Over the years some readers have been concerned that I haven’t provided nutrition information for the recipes here on the website. I was a bit surprised when I received the comment below regarding the 1,000 free low-carb recipes I provide here.
Yes, we know you do not answer nutrition questions, but it would be helpful, useful, and simply kind if you would simply supply this information with the recipes you provide. Organic Valley egg nog has 180 cal. and 10 g fat, while Living Without vegan egg nog has 366 calories, 33g total fat, per serving! And Elana’s recipe? God alone knows. Elana– this seems a bit of a grinch like policy on your part.
Juggling My Way Through Life
I’m not a big corporation. I’m a mom with celiac disease, multiple sclerosis, two children, and a husband. Just like all of you, I’m juggling my way through life every single day.
Free Low-Carb Recipes on Elana’s Pantry
I have a thousand free-recipes here to share with you because it makes me happy. Sitting with spreadsheets and calculators? That does not make me happy. That’s what I used to do that when I owned a big company back in 1995. I was 28 years old. I had lots of employees. I was in Fortune Magazine. I made loads of money. More than I do writing books. But writing books is fun. So I traded in my power suit and now I write low-carb power bar recipes.

Pfft! You are awesome, your site is awesome, and the rest is irrelevant. I can deduce the nutritional value in your recipes by the colors, textures and quality of the ingredients. I don’t count calories, or fat grams, I go for real food made carefully and with love. I am forever grateful that your dietary needs and mine are almost exactly the same!
Meagan says
Good for you! What a wonderful reply. Recipes and good food is not about calories anyways. Calories in, calories out has been PROVEN not to work. I love your perspective Elana.

Elana,
After testing positive for gluten intolerance, my mom and I started eating gluten free. Because of your recipes, I found that I can make nutritious gluten free food, instead of buying the starch- laden products at the store. I make your recipes on a daily basis and think of you every time! I am so thankful for you and all you do!

Oh my! I love your blog, your recipes, and think you are absolutely fabulous, and generous. I can’t begin to imagine the time you spend creating all of these delicious recipes that you selflessly share with the rest of us. I have never counted calories, mostly because I am lazy, but also because I don’t believe in it. The quality of the food is most important, not how many calories it contains. That’s such a bizarre way to look at food, in my opinion. I like to look at food as a whole, not just a small part of it.
Thank you so much Elana, for continuing to share all your wonderful recipes with us. I have both your books and use them regularly:)

As much as I like to salivate over your newest recipe (like the buttnernut latkes!), this is my favorite post of yours, Elana!
Jaclyn says
This is my first time commenting, but I just had to chime in! I discovered your blog a few weeks ago when I made the decision to cut out wheat completely, and reduce my grain intake. and I’m just blown away by the quantity and *quality* of the recipes you post! Thank you, thank you, a million thank yous! This is such a great service you provide for all of us looking to improve our nutrition while still enjoying delicious foods! I have so far made two of your muffin recipes, and I can honestly say that even if I ever decided to go back to eating wheat (*shudder*) I would continue to make those recipes – they’re superior to their grain-filled relatives.

Elana,
I didn’t know you had ms! My sister suffers from the same ailment. How you manage to blog at ALL with all of your responsibilities (let alone dealing with celiac and ms) is beyond me. Color me impressed!
And you’re right–if people really want to know nutrition information, isn’t not that hard to figure out. I did it for 1 1/2 years with every recipe I made. I made a lot of substitutions anyway, so I would have done it otherwise.
Thanks again for sharing your recipes with us!

First let me say I love your recipes and read your blog often. I have food intolerances to dairy, eggs, garlic and gluten.
I feel this way … if you don’t like it .. don’t read it … move on … there are plenty of other blogs out there that would provide that info or you can do it yourself, like I do. (I count calories as I have ).
If this person’s intention was to get you to do something … that was the exact opposite way to accomplish it. Funny.
Keep up the good work. Still reading!
Andrea says
Hi from Melbourne Australia. Elana I LOVE your blog and I have no allergies or intolerances. What you do is amazing and helpful and informative and clearly is changing people’s lives for the better. Great response.

I can name on one hand the times I’ve opened a cookbook and found the nutritional info for the recipes. Cookbooks are about sharing good food and inspiring others to cook good food- having a calorie count spoils some of that, for me at least. After all most of the time the yummier it is the more fattening or higher calorie it is. Why spoil your indulgence with having a hard number to feel guilty about? If someone doesn’t have enough common sense to look at a recipe and know if it’s going to be higher in calories or fat then maybe they shouldn’t be cooking in the first place. I could care less about the nutritional info in your recipes, whats important to me is that what I cook for my husband and two daughters with celiac doesn’t make them sick. So as for me and my house, we commend what you do AND what you don’t do!
