Well, if you wanted an ice cream fix, what I would have done is to buy some Breyers no sugar added ice cream and have a spoonful or two. No more, just a little. The half glass of apple juice probably had more carbs than what you really wanted.

As far as no cook or low cook recipes, grilled steak is always a good one. Fried eggs. ( a little butter and then plop the eggs in until they harden up). Spinach salad with bacon and with balsamic vinegar is low cook. The main thing you have to do there is to fry up the bacon.

What you do is put a bunch of fresh spinach leaves in a bowl with some tomato, then fry up a few strips of bacon, reserve about 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease, pour in about two tablespoons of balsamic vinegar with the bacon grease, until it is all warm, then pour the dressing over the salad. Yummy. You can add boiled eggs to the salad if you like, or some cheese grated in.

Brocolli steamed is another good veggy, I put cheese sauce over mine makes it better. Brocolli in a pan with a little water in the bottom, boil the water and then turn the heat down and leave a lid on the brocolli, when it gets soft you eat it. For the cheese sauce I grate a bunch of cheese into a skillet with a little butter in there to keep it from burning. Heat until melted. stir and then pour over the brocolli. I use a bunch of different cheeses, in the sauce, but the one that tastes the best is this "hunter cheese" I buy that has colby (a yellow cheese) wrapped around stilton (a blueish white cheese).

For non cooking people I would suggest you buy a George Foreman grill. It is great for making chicken, hamburgers, or steak with little time involved. Throw them on the grill, close the lid and (for hamburgers) in about 5 minutes or so, your meal is ready.

For a treat, I bought a bottle of Torani sugar free caramel syrup. I pour a little of that into a small glass of cream and then stir it up and eat it with a spoon. It is like eating candy.

Or alternately you can make a "milkshake" or actually "creamshake". put a cup of water in the bottom of a blender, add Hershey's unsweetened cocoa mix, some Splenda, and a bunch of ice cubes. blend until ice cubes are all ground up like a slushy. Then pour in some cream and blend a few seconds more. Tastes like a chocolate milkshake.

I go to the deli and buy sliced roast beef (precooked) or ham or turkey, and bring them home slice a little cream cheese off a block, and wrap the meat around the cream cheese. roll ups they are called.

If you want to try something with a little more cooking involved, you can melt a little butter in the bottom of a saucepan, add some lemon juice, garlic, onions, salt and pepper, then slice up small bits of boneless, skinless chicken breast meat into the pan, cover and let it cook. When the chicken is all white, eat it.

Cooking is an art, the more you do it the more you will find you enjoy it. Many men get into cooking and wind up being better cooks than women are. My husband always makes more delicious meals than I ever could, so I LOVE it when he cooks. Maybe because he doesn't have to do it as often it is more of a fun creative adventure for him than it is for me, but I still perfer his meals to mine.

There is a dish he makes that I just love, he takes boneless skinless chicken breast meat, cooks it in some wine and water, (not much) when the meat is cooked, (the liquid half gone) he removes the chicken, adds cream cheese, garlic, salt and pepper and some sort of herbs, to the wine that is left and melts it all down. Then pours the creamy sauce over the chicken. This is of course a little more complicated than "no cook" but it tastes wonderful.
