Re: Where is everyone?
Hi - I saw this post and wanted to add my thoughts. I'm on Rung 4 (berries). I was most excited so far to add cottage cheese back into my meals - believe me, I don't LIKE cottage cheese but it tastes really good to me now that my pallet has been cleansed with this WOE. I buy the Breakstone individual portions and add about 1/4 to 1/2 pkt of Splenda and some pepper. I also found Dannon has diabetic yougurt that only has 3 carbs per serving. I have both the vanilla and strawberry flavors (since I can have berries I got the strawberry). I had a couple strawberries yesterday and they really tasted good. I almost bought some blueberries at the store, but decided to have only strawberries first. I have also had a Tbsp of sunflower seeds on top of a salad a couple times or a handful of cashews.
My "staple" sometime during the day are 2 flax cookies (1 serving) -- they are a little sweet, a little crunchy and I really look forward to having them. Another reason I like them is that they take about 30 seconds to whip up and 3-1/2 minutes to microwave - so within 5 minutes I can have a delicious snack!
Another thing I like to make occassionally are cheese crackers -- when I'm eating something that normally I would have had potato chips. Today for lunch I made ground up roast pork with a little mayo & pickles [like ham salad] I made the cheese crackers and put the ground pork on top and ate it.
I'm still looking for a good replacement for bread....I tried making a flax bun tonight but it needed "something"....I think a little sea salt would have made it taste a little better. I put garlic powder, pepper and onion powder in the mixture before I cooked it, but next time I'll try making it with sea salt. I also thought it was too much for 1 portion, so maybe next time I'll make it as 2 portions.
I'm going to try making my own bar-b-que sauce. I have a bottle of Walden Farms brand bar-b-que sauce and it's ok, but I think I can make it better. I am going to get some brown sugar flavor Splenda and will put it with low carb ketchup, smoke flavor and mix it up -- that's pretty much how I made bar-b-que sauce before (brown sugar, ketchup, a pinch of salt & smoke flavor) so I don't think it would taste bad -- will just have to make sure I have left over carbs for the Splenda & ketchup that day.
Ok, I'm sorry to go on and on -- didn't mean to hijack the thread! If anyone has any ideas about bread substitute (not revolution rolls either thank you) I'd be interested to know about them. There is a flax bread recipe I've been looking at -- has anyone tried that? Ok I'm stopping now!!!!!
