No White Food...No White Food...

Sorry for the lateness of today’s blog… I’ve been doing school paperwork…

I think today I’m going to provide you with a health warning! A warning you really should heed.

Here it is: DO NOT EAT WHITE FOOD!!

It’s that simple. For those of you who don’t know, I’m a diabetic. Yes, the needle toting, insulin carrying diabetic. So I am pretty restricted on what foods I can eat. The goal of a diabetic is to keep their daily blood sugar levels down in the 110 or below range, not too low, because then you’ll go into a coma. (And I’ve heard if you go into a coma you’ll pee yourself)

Each day my goal is NOT TO EAT WHITE FOOD. White food is all the good stuff; bread, pasta, milk, rice, potatoes, peas, corns, beans, anything with flour, and of course anything with sugar. We can’t over indulge with meats because then your cholesterol will go up. You can’t just eat lettuce because then your sugar level will go to low. ARGGGHHHH!!!!

Again each day my daughter and I are challenged on what we can make that everyone in the house can eat, something I won’t get bored with, and tastes fairly good. And do this in a way so it is not an all day consuming task.

We have determined the ultimate food source for a diabetic is: Stir Fry. YES! Asian Stir Fry – vegetables, meat, spices, sauce. Sometimes a few noodles (not to many) noodles are there only for looks. Do you realize how many ways you can make a stir fry?

Pork – Beef – Chicken

String beans – peppers – onions – all the Asian vegetables

Teriyaki – spicy – mild – Indian spices – on and on.

One night you have Chicken, Peppers, Teriyaki the next night Beef, string beans, curry. The following night pork, onions, peppers, with spicy sauce.

On and on, night after night!

Anyone have a good casserole recipe??
