Default Cauliflower for dinner

We frequently have this interesting kohl.
It is made by steaming a whole head with some of the small leaves left
on.
Take it out whilst it is warm and drench in a rich cheese egg sauce.
Then place some buttered crumbs from a croissant on top of the head
and put in the oven for 20 minutes or so until the crumbs are brown.
Take out and put melted butter on the top and then serve.
We love this with a good grilled steak, baked potato and a decent
salad.

Tirimisu is a fav dessert with this meal.

I think you might have this group confused with another recipe group.
This one is for diabetics who must keep a check on the amount of
carbohydrates they consume.

The crumbs, potato and tirimisu wouldn't be for the diabetics.

Damnit, I was just getting ready to make this, and now I find out it's
not for me. ;-)

Of course you could have it. You can have whatever you want in
moderation.

On Julie's behalf, allow me to be more specific. What was
your blood glucose reading one and two hours after the most
recent time you ate that?

The reason for the question is the "buttered crumbs from a
croissant" and the "baked potato" and the "Tirimisu".

It's possible with your meds regimen and with small portion
sizes they cause you no problems at all. I could probably
handle that at dinner myself, in moderation. But not at
lunch.

That's why some of us are interested in those specific peak
post-prandial BG numbers when people post recipes with
significant carb contents.

Default Cauliflower for dinner



We use to take a whole head cauliflower and wash and clean and wrap in
micro safe saran and micro the whole thing in the microwave for a very
tender head of cauliflower. I think it took about 20 minutes in the micro.
But after reading about microwaving in plastic wrap, don't do that anymore.

Then we also covered it in a cheese sauce .Yum! I know it's good

I also love tirimisu and have concocted special tiramisu recipes . I don't
think well suited for diabetics. However If anyone wants any of my
tiramisu recipes , email privately and I will send when I get home from
Vermont

Joan

P.s I also love steamed green cabbage in the micro. Then just add salt,
pepper and a few pats of butter or margarine. Also very delsih !

Keep doing it. It's a false rumour, an urban myth:

http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/d/dioxins.htm

http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/cookplastic.asp

There are some things I don't microwave in plastic wrap
because it may not stand up to the heat. That's why I
wouldn't use it for a head of cauliflower for 20 minutes -
but cancer is not the reason, just structural strength.

Really? Even if it spikes us?

I know *I* can't have whatever I want in moderation. I've love a bean
burrito with a side of rice and beans. But even a small one is too many
carbs for me.

Buy some of that Wal-Mart professional food wrap. It will stand up to
anything. :-)

They may be on insulin.

True. I would still ask the same question, but appreciate
that advice in the answer:-)
