Hi!
This is helpful since I really need to get my diet back on track. It
can be tough. My endo is also watching her carbs and says that she
keeps buffalo chicken wings in her fridge at all times! Yummy! Keep in
mind to not eat too many and watch the seasoning as some has sugar but
they are very filling. I also enjoy taking a slice of lean corned beef,
spreading it with light cream and adding some chopped green onion. I
then roll it up and slice it into pretty little circles. This is also a
good appetizer for a party and enjoyed these when I wasn't watching
carbs! I also enjoy a chocolate shake from Carb Solutions in the blender
with lots of ice! I also enjoy a hot seafood dip made from light cream
cheese, lemon juice, mushrooms, artichokes and parmesan cheese and a can
of drained lump crab. I bake this and instead of using crackers for a
dipper I use shrimp! This is great and have served it for company. Keep
it in the fridge and when you have the munchies take a few spoonfuls out
of the pan, warm it up and scoop! Stuff some mushroom caps with chopped
mushroom stems, parmesan cheese, tiny shrimp or some lump crab and a
tiny dollop of light cream cheese and bake! Yummy! God bless! Tera
