Book Description
A lot of excess calories can come from between-meal or after-meal snacks. The USDA has recommended that no more than 10% of someone’s daily calories come from snack foods (or recreational eating; that is, food eaten just for fun and not for nutrition).Of course, we call want to get the most out of our snack foods, and some snacks can be nutritional and satisfying at the same time. Other foods (often called junk foods) have little or no nutritional value…we just eat them because they taste good.
Nonetheless, lower-calorie versions of even junk foods exist. Making food at home can decrease the calorie count or fat content significantly, eliminate a lot of unnecessary additives and preservatives, and enhance the flavor and portion size.
In this cookbook, every effort has been made to find snack foods that are filling but have fewer calories and/or less fat than their commercial versions. You may even enjoy these more than ones you buy in the store!
Important note: this is not a cookbook with zero calorie (or near-zero calorie) snacks. Those looking for such snacks may be better off buying 100-calorie packs of snack foods from the store. The very nature of these snack foods and their ingredients mean that the calorie count will never be zero, or even close to it.
Also, these recipes are not necessarily low-carb. Some have higher carbs because they include sugars, but in a lot of cases they have higher carbs due to ingredients such as milk, yogurt, or fruit, which are GOOD, healthy carbs.

The Paleolithic diet, often called the Paleo diet for short, is sometimes referred to as the caveman diet. Though it is a modern-day nutritional plan, the Paleo diet is based on the presumed dietary habits of early humans living during the Paleolithic era.
This diet is said to be one of the healthiest diets in existence and the only diet to which humans are genetically adapted. In addition to being incredibly healthy, the Paleo diet has actually been documented to help control or reduce the risk of serious conditions such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
This diet is particularly popular among people suffering from food sensitivities because it completely omits processed foods and focuses on simple cooking methods that preserve the natural integrity of food.
My collection of 52 Slow Cooker Paleo Recipes covers the full spectrum of dishes, including:
-Soups and Stews
-Poultry
-Beef and Lamb
-Seafood
-Vegetarian
-Snacks and appetizers
-Desserts
