Check this mess out.

[Guest guest]

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 simple, he eats frie bread every day with all of

his meals. can't get him to understand this is the main problem in his diet. I

use to make my self and my Momma breakfast burritos and freeze them to eat when

ever. well instead of using the flour tortilla, now I use a large letis for the

wrap, use chicken instead of bacon, go light on the hash browns and use cream

cheese or cottage cheese and it is still good and not going to destroy my sugar

later. now here is the good news at the pig's house. picked me up a half gallon

of 2% milk 3 days ago for this long weekend. got 3 or 4 days to drink it for

breakfast and haven't opened it yet after 3 days! probably the first time in my

life I have purchased milk in a container less then a gallon jug. jump up and

down for the pig! turn back flips and laugh and giggle! pat my back and slap

your face! there is hope for me yet!
