Subject: A first time visit

HI
Just saw your site posted yesterday and checked it out today. My husband is being checked for sugar diabetes now and it looks as though we may have to change our eating habits. We are a family who like corn bread every night and for years have always had a sweet dessert every night and lots of snacks!! We have already cut out the everynight desserts, cut way back on cornbread (and all other breads too) and worked on the snacks a lot,but I am sure that a lot of my cooking will have to be changed around. Another love of ours (potatoes) seem to be something that will have to be limited also. I will be checking out a lot of your posts and probably asking for a lot of help as we go through this. Keep the good ideas and recipes coming--I'll try to take part as I learn a little more about things!

Judy

Welcome Judy! I read your post and saw the potatoes and thought I would share. I love potatoes too. My brother showed me this. I take a yam and wash, etc. cut in half and wrap in foil. Put on the grill and turn every 5 minutes or so until tender. The eat with butter, cinnamon, or even maple syrup. I like a little buttler and cinnamon. Haven't tried it with sugar free syrup yet. You can do these in the oven too but I think the grill adds a wonderful taste to the yams. I have never liked yams but I like them this way. Its the only way I will eat them. I usually only eat like a 1/4 of one but sometimes I eat the whole half. They are much better for you than white potatoes. they make sweet potato french fries too.

My dh is a potato junkie. We are dieting and what I do, if I make roast etc and he thinks he can't live without gravy or sauce, I use mashed cauliflower in it's place. Sounds strange, but it works in a pinch. I have also cut cauliflower really small and made it like fried rice (with meat, peas, onion mushrooms and soya sauce etc.) Turnip is another great substitute. I cut them up like fries. Sprinkle seasoning salt or brown sugar substitute like splenda.

I solved the sweet problem with SF jello and light topping in the evning or we have sf fudgicles.
