When Parmesan Cheese and Garlic are Main Ingredients ...

I have a Pinterest board named 'Recipes I Vow to Someday Try.' Unfortunately, most of them require more than five ingredients, so it's very likely that I'll never ever ever make 90% of those pins. Instead, I'll just stare intently at the pretty pictures of the food on my screen and drool over my keyboard.

I added two more pins to this board yesterday that are recipes for Baked Parmesan Chicken and Roasted Broccoli Parmesan. Not only am I'm thinking Mr. Cush will enjoy a home-cooked meal based around parmesan cheese and garlic, but it will add flavor to this whole low-carb thing I'm trying out. And most importantly of all ... five or fewer ingredients in both dishes. So even without making these yet, they get a PBT Seal of Approval. (<- can we make that a thing from now on? Great. Glad we can all agree on this.)

If you want to see pretty pictures of these dishes, head over to Pinterest. If you're interested in trying them in your own kitchen, look no further ...

Any of y'all have a simple recipe that's low-carb and fewer than five ingredients? If so, please share it with me in the comments below!!!
