      #8 has the wrong ingredient list. I don't think Salmon goes in deconstructed pizza 🙂

      #4. Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Breast is not low carb, unless you take out the new potatoes.

        Hi Yesenia. We’re in the process of adding a little “disclaimer” at the top to all our roundup content, where we explain that certain recipes might call for one or two ingredients that need to be be left out or swapped to make it low-carb or keto compliant. This is an easy one. Just leave out the potatoes or swap it with something else, like cauliflower. Thanks for the feedback.
