Baked spud with beans and cheese seems good to me.

I won't use butter. I'd prefer to use low fat cheese and lower carb beans if that's OK.

I'm not too keen on Fajhitas - too spicy. Had some Encheladas. (Excuse spelling) and they were OK so perhaps we might consider those.

Hi Tez, thats fine - do it to your own taste. Can I ask what are lower carb beans? Sorry if i am being thick!🙂Bev

I don't think you're being thick Bev.

Basically on the side of tins of baked beans it tells you how many carbs there are per 100g. There can be quite a difference between own brand, Heinz, and the economy ones.

I know the carbs of the beans themselves stay the same.

It's the tomato sauce we look at as some have far more sugar in them than others.

Hope that helps.

I once tried straining off the juice and made my own with tomato puree and a little splenda and lemon juice and paprika and a few beans (to thicken sauce) in the blender. Need to get the ratios better.
 
Thanks Tez, that makes sense! I must admit - Alex rarely has beans so i havent really investigated the carb content of the sauces - good tip - i will have a look next time i am in shops.🙂Bev
 
ewwww beans are a no no for me im afraid hate the things, ill have my tuna still me thinks.

The home brew sauce is as low carb as I can make it.

Lemon juice lowers GI. Splenda counteracts the lemon taste and beans as thickener means no flour. Paprika gives zing.

You might want to dissolve the splenda in a tablespoon of boiling water before putting it in. If you leave the few beans out you don't need to wash the blender up and you can do it in a saucepan and let it reduce on a simmer instead.

When I perfect it I'll put it on the recipes page.
 
if everyones else has beans and i dont will that make my results void?just i cant stand beans,and things in sauces that are tomato related.tuna is my fave
 
I'm definitely up for jacket potatoes, but I'd have something other than beans. 🙂 😛

Steff, I think the experiment is just as valid, it'll be like the curry. Everyone made their own curry, some have naan bread, some didn't, but we could see the results and learn from them (which reminds me, I'm going to do that this weekend!) 🙂

Steph, if you dont have beans on your baked potato - you will be banned from the forum I'm afraid. When you signed up to the forum - there was a clause at the bottom that said 'if your taking part in Bev's big night in' you MUST eat exactly what is on the menu.

I can make some exceptions, but there has to be a DAMNED good reason for it. The fact that you 'dont like' tomato based sauces just doesnt cut it I am afraid. If you think you are above the rules - then you wont be allowed to take part. This is how it is - get over it.🙄🙂Bev
 
jacket spud sounds good beans or tuna

What's this? Steff is refusing to comply to forum rules on BNOs? What would happen if we all refused to follow the rules? The place would descend into chaos!😱😉

I wonder if the 'Diabetic Chef' has some recipes we could use?🙄

Hexactly! See what I have to put up with Northey when your away?
Not that I want to tell any tales - but.....

Tez has been seen cavorting with a bottle of cider....naked..on the billiard table.....

Steph was found trying to sell bottles of 'carb free milkshake' to the new-borns......

Adrienne was arrested for being in possesion of illicit 'jelly babies' she had appropriated off fleabay....

Peter C has been warned by his community police officer that waving banners saying 'carbs kill' is actually an offence....and not actually true...

Sophie was caught trying to tattoo the words 'pasta is lovely and i will eat as much as i want mother funky' on Carolines left hip and given a caution...by the vicar..

Twinnee was escorted off the premises due to 'innapropriate behaviour with a bag of splender'...not entirely sure what happened - but she sported a candy floss type quiff for a good few hours afterwards....on her left breast...

I am not sure I can tell you the rest to be honest as I would feel a tad ashamed.....oh - ok - Mand and Patricia have been remanded in custody for.......wait for it......for trying to explain DUAL WAVES to a pair of eskimos who had only popped in for some advice on their athletes foot....I kid you not...

Kids eh?

Welcome back Northey.🙂Bev

Hi John,
Sounds lovely and i will give it a go. The 'problem' with doing a low or no carb food is that there are very few takers! We did one last week and not many people seemed interested in doing it.:(Bev

Hi Bev,

In my opinion, any Type 2 in particular ought to be interested in such options but if they aren't then they aren't! Most of the stuff that people have been trying in this thread are way off my radar these days.

The cauli-mash was superb and I wouldn't have known that it wasn't mashed potato if my wife hadn't told me. You could maybe test that out for yourself on Alex. My wife made cottage pie with potatoes - another with cauli-mash - and yet another one with potaoes and veggie-mince for the two vegetarian children in our family. Life doesn't get any easier for her but she just loves cooking for the family on Sundays.

Another option that I've heard recommended a lot is cauli-rice. I haven't tried that yet but I will be doing certainly - because I know that it will keep my blood glucose levels down.

I just wish that I'd any idea at all about cooking myself! :(

Best wishes - John
