Hi folks,
I'm diabetic. I'm also relatively lazy when it comes to cooking. If it takes half an hour of prep before I can start cooking something, it isn't for me. Still, I can't exactly subsist on frozen meals and fast food and expect to be healthy in 20 to 30 years, so I've spent time devising various meal ideas which are tasty, but won't spike my blood sugar.
Breakfast Idea 1: Frittata Sandwich
Need: Jimmy Dean Delights Frittatas, Sausage Patties, Cheddar Cheese
To Do: Cook 2 frittatas per directions; cook sausage; melt cheese on sausage; split frittatas in half; make sandwich.
Under 10 grams of carbs for a delicious, hearty breakfast
Lunch Idea 1: Tortilla Pizza
Need: Low Carb Tortillas, Pizza Sauce, Shredded Cheese, whatever toppings you may desire.
To Do: Put Ingredients on tortilla, bake (oil bottom of tortilla for extra crisp)
Mission's Carb Balance tortillas run under 10 grams net carbs, and the sauce will have a few as well.
Dinner Idea 1: Chicken Alfredo w/ Mushrooms & Peas
Need: Tysons Grilled Nuggets, Mushrooms, Frozen Peas, Alfredo Sauce; Parmesan Cheese
To Do: Pan Fry nuggets, mushrooms, peas together; pour on a jar of alfredo sauce, and if you're like me, add some more parmesan for extra kick.
Carbs mostly depends on how much you load up on the peas. Other ingredients are generally pretty minimal.
