40+ Low-Carb Food Swaps (and How to Find What You Need on Dinner-Mom)


Hello Reader,

I’d like to take a moment to reintroduce how the Dinner-Mom site is organized and share a new category I just created. The goal is to help you find the right recipe faster, especially if you’re cooking with specific goals in mind.

Here’s a quick guide to a few popular spots to bookmark:

Low-Carb Food Swaps
This is the newest category and I’m excited about it. You’ll find 40+ creative low-carb swaps for everyday foods like bread, pasta, rice, and more.👇

South Beach Diet Phase 1 Recipes
This is the most specific section on the site. These recipes don’t include fruit, grains, or starchy vegetables and are great if you’re following Phase 1 of this diet or just want very low-carb options. 👇

Full Recipe Index
You'll find ALL of our carb-conscious recipes (including the ones above) grouped by dish type, protein type, season, and more. This is a great jumping-off point for any search.👇

My goal is to make your favorite dishes easier, healthier, and lower in carbs — and to help you quickly find exactly what you’re looking for.

If something isn’t clear or you’d like it to work a little differently, just hit reply and let me know. I truly value your feedback.

Wishing you health and cheer,

Marjory

Chicken tortilla soup in a white bowl.

Hello Reader, Chicken tortilla soup is one of those dinners I keep coming back to. It’s ready in under 30 minutes and packed with protein. I usually skip the hominy. It’s delicious, but it does add a fair amount of carbs. You can leave it off entirely, use a smaller amount, or swap in a different bean if that works better for you. Get all the details here👇 Chicken Tortilla Soup Pin It! And I always serve it with a side of low-carb tortilla chips! Wishing you health and cheer, Marjory Marjory...
