Thank you for the recipes - I'll try some this weekend. Maybe I can get

the family to eat like I need to (yeah, right! >>

On the weekends, and holidays, i feed 2 adult's that are not diabetic, not

low carbers, one as a matter of fact has AIDS and needs to eat HIGH CAL and

lots of food, as well as feeding 2 growing kids (age almost 10, and almost

12)

I provide them with stuff to add to what i cook, and or stuff they can have

instead.... most of this, even the 10 yr old can cook, and yes i often make

them cook it, if they want it.

ie instant mashed potatoes, instant rice, box mac and cheese, white and

sweet potatoes nuked in the microwave, frozen frenchfries, some frozen

dinners, cereal, bread, chips, bakery stuff in boxes, popsicles, yogurts

etc... i just eat more of the hi protein stuff, and run like heck from the

other stuff....

they all know at this point, what i'm not eating....

as a matter of fact if i go to cheat they know and will ask me... (its a

mixed blessing)
