well, i hate avacados, and other stuff, like beans (except green beans). it

seems the stuff, even vegies, i like are all the wrong one. i'm gonna work

on it, and find stuff i like. going shopping in a huge vegie dept.

tomorrow. just got to remember that some of the stuff is nono. pat

[Guest guest]

gonna keep this one, vicki. the eggplant sandwich is what i'm thinking

would be good. maybe with chicken in the middle, with a tiny piece of

tomato, or melted cheese.

just gotta get imaginative here. pat

oh, tom, i love you. lol i have some dried herbs with garlic that make a

wonderful potato chip dip, but i actually prefer vegies on it. i doubt i'd

want to dip eggplant, but squash, green peppers and celery are super. i

don't do much with broccoli and cauliflower, because i tend to put it off

because it requires work.

does anyone on the list make ratatouile? it has tomatoes, mushrooms, green

peppers, onions, eggplant and zucchini, and bakes up in a casserole. i'm

gonna try to take advantage of the summer vegies to save in the freezer, but

wanted to get the right ones. pat

Yes, I have and I love it...but be aware, onions and tomatos are somewhat

carby. Make up a batch, test, eat a measured amount then test in one and two

hours...that'll give you the answer. When I make it I keep portion SMALL.

OTOH...zucchini has practically zero carbs. Vicki

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

question, so ratatouille is my next best. and yep, as soon as i get things

down (they are at 183 today, which is much better than 350!!), and when i

think i'm settled into a " range " , i'm gonna try some and see what is does to

my body.

i have in the freezer a pancake tv dinner jut for when i absolutely HAVE to

have some, but i find that those things really do me much harm.

thanks. pat

lol pat

I use " Ranch " salad dressing for a dip for my fresh vegies. Most are

pretty low-carb, but be sure and read the nutrition label.

Also, I don't use as much dip per piece as in the " old days " before

LCing! I have learned to go for flavor, not quantity. It did take a

while to get to this place, but now it works for me.

Actually, Pat, eggplant parmesan isn't too bad...just go very light on the

tomato sauce...you can use all the parmesan you want - very lowcarb - and

keep the mozzarella slices thin.

As far as that pancake thingie in the freezer...my advice to you is ...feed

it to the dog or toss it inb the garbage right away. The harm it'll do to

your BG is just not worth it!

I find it helps not to have tempting highcarb goodies in the house at all.

They might be in the USDA website (see earlier post). I don't have time to

check it right now. Vicki

If you're doing lowcarb you shouldn't be doing lowfat too. The benefits of

lowfat dieting are vastly overrated. I think Tom posted a link to an article

on that subject yesterday or the day before but if someone didn't save it I

have the URL, just ask. Regular mozzarella is fine. Vicki

actually, vicki, i may just get it credited to my bill. i purchased some

Lipton Peach Tea and i think they used about a cup of sugar per bottle.

that goes back too. i love the easy tv dinners for breakfast, but i might

just purchase the bacon/eggs instead. pat

Hello sandyb@...,

In reference to your comment:

ð Have you tried tahini (sauce)? It's based on whizzing

Sesame Tahini 2 TBSP = 8 carbs

Actually, sour cream and mayo are both very low to no carb foods, so your

thoughts should work fine for a good dip.

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
