I was making breakfast for a crowd and decided to make it a carb-up day for me since I was the only one who does the keto thing, I came up with this brownie baked fermented oatmeal recipe.

Ethiopian food lends itself well to carb-ups with plenty of options using low-fat fish, pulses and veggies. I decided to add this lentil stew, “misir wot” to my Ethiopian repertoire…

I had been thinking about how chick peas and black beans tend to be the beans of choice for making dips and spreads, but I happened to have an abundance of red kidney beans. I thought, “Why not try making a dip with that instead? How different could it be?” I decided to lean into its red colour...

Lentils are always a healthy choice for carb-ups, but combine them with black kale, toasted cashews and cumin seeds, along with briny olives and feta and you get a flavourful salad with an array of textures that make your mouth sing. Who says carb-up meals have to be boring?

Want a warm carb-up breakfast that you can bake up quick and eat on the go? This air fryer oatmeal breakfast cookie is the perfect solution. It’s gluten-free and sugar free using only a banana and vanilla protein powder to sweeten it.

All sorts of colourful veggies in this vegan carb-up sweet potato barley stew recipe! With orange, purple, red, and green, you can be sure you’re getting a good nutritional range. Bump up the protein with by topping with a vegan tofu sour cream or Greek yogurt if you’re not vegan.

Curried fruit is a lovely dessert/condiment for roast turkey or ham from the southern states. I thought I could draw on that for inspiration for this carb-up pizza concept, curried mango dessert pizza. Mixing sweet and spicy notes with a creamy coconut cream cheese sauce…

I had some leftover artisan sourdough that I didn't want to waste, so I thought, "Why not make a vegan carb up bread pudding recipe?". I decided to use up some mango and banana I had kicking around in my freezer to make this tropical mango banana bread pudding.
