I love cottage cheese with some salsa on top with about 4 cracked grain

crackers, or a few wheat thins, or even some tortilla chips

great snack with celery sticks.

Mark,

You are a truly creative cook! I love all the things you mentioned, except

canned spinach---yuk,yuk, yuk! I love either fresh cooked spinach or

frozen, but the canned stuff is slimy and yucky.

one cup of cottage cheese, maybe 5 strawberries cut up, some walnuts and a

few packages of splinda. really a fine dish to have for lunch when you are

like me and have no more quick acting insulin in your system. this never

causes my readings between lunch and dinner to rise much at all. actually

cottage cheese is very good for us who are keeping the sugar low and trying

to drop pounds. I'm not much of a cheese person, but do like cottage cheese

and cream cheese. also like to grill some onions in a bit of olive oil

before I pour in my eggs. hard to beat a grilled onion for flavor to any

food. now lets look at spinach in a can. I love spinach in a can, but pour

it over in to a drainer of some kind and take out all the water they pack it

in. then wash the salt out of it after the water is gone. now you got a

little ball of sea weed looking thing the size of a gulf ball. you can mix

it up with just about anything else you dig. I like to mix it up with

sardines and eggs. mix it with a touch of cream cheese and eat it on a

sliced cucumber or bell pepper. now here is a wonderful idea for a bell

pepper. cut it in maybe 4 pieces and spread some home made chicken or turkey

salad on it. none of that nasty chicken salad you buy in the store, but your

own that you made from a chicken you had to cook your self. this is some

mighty fine low carb eating here! can do the same thing with those giant

mushrooms you can buy. fill up the bowl size hole in the middle with chicken

salad and turkey salad. also good with scrambled eggs with some cream cheese

mixed up in them. cottage cheese is good as well in them. all kinds of low

carb things you can mix up and put in these giant mushrooms. you can even

use 2 of them for the bun on each side of a burger. grill a hamburger patty

and spread some real butter and spices on these giant mushrooms and grill

them as your buns. they are all most as large around as a bun. some times I

use romaine leafs for my bread instead on a burger. so many grate veggies

out there to cook up and made to taste good by mixing them together with

spices and a touch of real butter or cream cheese. when I get the wishing

for a potatoes, I get the little one's that they call a new potatoes. a baby

tadder. cut up a little of 5 different fast cooking veggies and make your

own stir frie in olive oil. we who are watching the sugar and the weight

have to get down right creative if we are to stay on course and not trip up.

don't be afraid to try different mixtures of veggies together. this is how

you figure out different things to eat that you like. now I haven't yet

figured out how to make gravy and biscuits that are good for me. still

working on this one. seems like I did hear of pancakes made with eggs and

pork rimes. now I'm not sure if this is good or not. you can't just go by

the way it is made. I will give it a try some day and let you know. if you

miss mash potatoes, then try mashed up cauliflower or turn ups. always use

real butter and not the fake stuff that isn't butter at all and bad for you

to eat. use butter buds if you wish. a Indian friend of mine said he had

trouble with his sugar staying under 300 most of the time. will it is very

I do OK with canned because I squeeze it out and of course you don't get

that much but it has the advantage of being there if you need it. Of course

I prefer fresh or frozen but frozen doesn't give much either after you

squeeze it out.

I could use some spinach right now because I feel so weak.

Now, Now! can is ok if you drain it and then wash it out. we eat fresh on our

said and I put it in soup as soon as it is done and I shut the fire off. frozen

is also good in soup or just to eat. if you eat can spinach right out of the

can, then I do agree with you! it is very nasty. I didn't get to exercise at all

to day for all the running around we had to do and you can tell by my numbers

not as low as they are when I walk or ride the bike. exercise is very important,

as is eating the right foods and not to much. they fit hand and hand. can't

really do the job right with out either one. I'm now thinking they work best

when together as a team. they seem to complement one another it seems to me. I

had to act like Dave to day and give my shot to my self after I ate dinner.

didn't know we would be out so late and eat dinner before we finally come home.

didn't have my pen with me and so done the shot after I got home. my sugar is

112 right now, but the last 4 days it has been closer to 100. so I know from all

this that taking my insulin every where I go is the best plan and getting some

kind of exercise in the day is also as important. we do live to learn as they

say. what's living anyway with out learning? wouldn't be any fun at all if we

all ready knew all there was to know. what kind of fun would living be then? we

would all be bored out of our heads! learning how to not make dumb mistakes is

what makes life more exciting! I believe I will really screw up bad to morrow

just so I can learn even more!!!
