Dinners List so I can have it all in one place. These shall become links when I actually write the recipes down.
Basic Principle is have a Protein + Vegetable + Carb, so that I can keep my prediabetes in check, by controlling how much I eat of each.
Hacks for making the Carbs less crashy---
- Twice cooked carbs
- Instantpot precooked potatoes [8 min, 1 cup water] that get fried in butter/beef fat.
- Pre-cooked rice heated up again, or fried in a risotto or stir fry
- Cauliflower risottos that are very very good. [shredded in the food processor, cooked in olive oil/butter, then add in butter/cream cheese/spices. It's actually even better than rice risotto IMHO]
- Eating my curries & sauces over Green Beans instead of rice with EXTRA tomato chutney [fresh salsa]
Remember, salads can become cabbage salads, or be swapped out with hot cooked (from frozen) vegetables if you make it further from the grocery shopping date.
