Good thing you're reading labels!

If you want a quick good breakfast, there are a couple of lowcarb cereals out

there that you can get online. One is called Keto Crunch and it's similar to

rice krispies...crunch around air...another (which I like much better) is

called Protein Crunch. 39 grams with some whole milk and a little bit of

Equal and a slice of lowcarb toast (12 carbs) and that's my breakfast...quick

and easy. The cereals are available online. Vicki

actually, i don't care for cereal. but i think i'm jusst gonna go and put

on a few slices of bacon and make coffee; come back in here and brush teeth

and wash face; get dressed and then check out emails. by then, bacon

should be done, toast (lol) and eggs. i found at the hospital that several

slices of bacon and two eggs were a good breakfast, and if i " sugar " a bunch

of strawberries the nite before, it's perfect. pat

Have you tried tahini (sauce)? It's based on whizzing lots of sesame seeds

in a blender and ends up a creamy, tasty dip that could be altered via a

variety of herbs/spices. A vegetarian friend makes hers just starting with

sesame seeds but I found the following recipe online based on sesame seed

(tahini) paste. I often don't care for her " vegetarian adventures " but

found this stuff quite tasty. I admit, however, that I have no idea where

sesame seeds fit in the LC/fat scheme of things.

Sandy

Tahini Sauce:

1/3 cup tahini paste (sesame seed paste)

1/2 cup water, or more as needed

1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic

1/2 teaspoon salt

Pinch cayenne

In a blender, combine all the ingredients. Process on high speed to make a

creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning, to taste, and serve as a dip or sauce.

Yield: about 3/4 cup

> vick. thanks. i love eggplant parmesan, and i know that's out

of the

> question, so ratatouille is my next best.

Try slicing the eggplant, dipping in egg or egg white, coating with a

mixture of ground nuts, parmesan and italian herbs (or ground nuts

with a little bread crumbs, parmesan and italian herbs for the more

moderate carbers) and baking on a cookie sheet sprayed with Pam or

brushed with olive oil, turning once to brown both sides, then add

just a spoonful of pasta sauce and some shredded mozzarella cheese

and place under broiler to melt the cheese. Just a thought. One of

my favorite pastimes is trying to figure out how to make standard

recipes more nutritious and in keeping with a diabetic diet. I use

the low fat mozzarella when I cook, and using shredded cheese I

usually use less than when I slice it.

I'm not doing low carb. I'm doing moderate carb, and I do try to

watch the saturated fats. I'm also still trying to control the

weight, and don't need the extra calories.
