20-Minute Meal

First a quick thank you to Hannah – who twice came to my office – once this morning when I got to work and realized I’d forgotten my diabetes bag (with insulin!) on the kitchen counter.  I ate my hard boiled egg and couldn’t enjoy my muffin until she brought my insulin – thanks Hanners!  And then after work she brought me this! Since all...

Cauliflower Soup and Hugh Jass Salad

Cauliflower Soup and Hugh Jass Salad
Yep, trying to be a 20-something by telling you I had a hugh jass salad – every time I read that on a blog I laugh!  I got this “lite” salad dressing at Big Lots of all places – 70 calories for 2 tablespoons, so flavorful and cheap – $2.00 a bottle!  It’s brand name is Cape Cod: So I took the 3 servings of last...

Blueberry Lime Muffins

Blueberry Lime Muffins
Ever since being diagnosed with diabetes, I’ve steered away from baking, which was something I did a lot of pre-diabetes.  When Hannah was little that was one of our favorite things to do on the weekends.  I have vivid memories of her standing on a stool, with an apron on, and me standing behind her trying to help her use the hand mixer.  I routinely...

Pork Chops with Cauliflower Mac N Cheese

Pork Chops with Cauliflower Mac N Cheese
Lunch didn’t hold me until dinner, so around 3:30 I snacked on these: I am slowly getting used to these unsalted, not roasted almonds – although I do prefer the salty ones! 😀 Hannah was my soux chef, fixing the dry rub while I got the cheese sauce going for the cauliflower.  No real recipe here, just a little of this, little of that. this...

Beef and Broccoli Stirfry with Tofu Noodles

Beef and Broccoli Stirfry with Tofu Noodles
Absolutely no calories – my noodles have no calories!  Update!  You can find out where to buy them here! It says its the whole package is 2.5 servings, but with no calories, I just dumped the whole thing in! I ended up cutting up one of the beef ribs from last nights dinner and used up the rest of the broccoli as well – I...

Repeat

I was going to make spicy eggs in clouds, but realized I still had my breakfast casserole to eat up, so that will have to wait til the weekend! On the side I felt like toast – Tony bought this pumpernickel bread – its really good – these two pieces are only 120 calories!  My friend Renee at work brought me no sugar added strawberry...

Spaghetti Squash and Spicy Meatballs

Spaghetti Squash and Spicy Meatballs
I have to give full credit to my friend Roni for turning me onto spaghetti squash – I never tried it before going to her site!  It’s one of those vegetables I think that if you were never introduced to it as a child, never comes to mind as an adult. Unfortunately I carried too many of my childhood food fears well into adulthood.  I...

Grilled Chicken Cordon Bleu

Grilled Chicken Cordon Bleu
I bought chicken breasts over the weekend, and while sitting at my desk filing like a mad woman, I thought of making chicken cordon bleu on the grill.  I did a couple quick google searches on my break, and I found one I liked – although my grilling style was a bit different.  I can’t find the blog that I borrowed this from – so...
