Most gardens are winding down now and some have already seen the first frost. It will soon be time to put them to sleep for the winter. However, if you live in the South, you are probably just getting started because so many of our favorites grow better when the weather isn’t quite so hot.

Just in case you have some fresh beans or cucumbers lurking in your garden, here are a couple of appetizer recipes that will please the family, not just those doing low carb:

Picnic Beans with Dip - these are just as tasty to nibble on while watching TV rather than the usual high carb, high calorie junk. And the fresh beans have such a satisfying crunch!

Cucumber Shrimp Appetizers - These come in at almost 2 carbs each, so don’t overdo it.

Welcome to my Low Carb Recipes blog. This is my first post and I just wanted to say hello to everyone and to invite you all to contribute with recipes or comments… or both!
