    These recipes for low carb Italian food sound so good. Most of the time when I think Italian, I picture pasta, but that doesn’t have to be the case. The Italian Wedding Soup, especially catches my eye. I wonder if we could have a buffet for my sister’s wedding out of low carb options like this. It wouldn’t hurt to look into our options at least.
