I used to slice the courgettes and pan fry them in a bit of olive oil with a mix of dried herbs, it's nice as a side. My mom makes a soup with boiled courgettes, a small potato (but you can skip that for low carb) and a couple cheese triangles, like Dairylea or Laughing Cow. Very simple but we like it.
Also, a great way to sneak more veg in a Bolognese sauce, I usually cut courgettes in tiny cubes and add them, or you could grate them if you prefer that texture.
aubergines are good in moussaka, or curries.
I love ratatouille (aubergine, courgette, pepper, onions) but OH hates it even though he likes all those ingredients individually or any three out of four.
Aubergine slippers are nice. https://mutti-parma.com/en/recipes/papoutsakia/
oh I absolutely love ratatouille, and make it often, lov it cold or warmed. I have never had a taste for highly spiced food so tend never to have curries etc.
I was told when first diagnosed that a good breakfast for me was porridge, fast forward a couple of years and it is not. However, I shall continue to have it, either at breakfast or evn at lunch depending on my notion.
I discovered recently that I was not prepared when ordering my groceries, to spend f9rever looking the nutritional contents for carbs because frankly it mant doing so took ages and greatly annoyed me. I also have rolls, bread and potatoes as and when I feel like it, bcause I work on the principle that by doing so it is not something I have every day, if it was that would throw up problems of course.
