Thank you. This is the first recipe you've posted recently I
could consider eating without severel modifying the carb
content.

Per serve:

Salmon: 52gm
Banana Bread: 32gm
Beet Salad: 25gm (brown sugar in a salad? Crikey!)

Are you an insulin user?

Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.

Alan, my DH (T2) is on the pump and he wouldn't be crazy enough to eat
those recipes.

That's why we need to be vigilant. It would be a shame if some newly

Yuk - sympathy! Keep on healing! Well done to your DH - of course you
realise that those skills must be practiced at least a couple of times a
week even when you're well : )

Do you think the Beet Salad would work with the brown Sugar-Twin?? It
sounded so good, but I steer away from any sugars,rice, flour etc etc.
DH is an insulin dependent T2, whose numbers plummeted very nicely the
last 6 months by being very low-carb.

Best to test it and see; I've found that a slice or two of
beetroot is OK as part of my garden salad.

On sugar substitutes in this type of recipe (salads, slaws
etc) I tried completely omitting sugar; within a couple of
meals I found the absence unnoticable.

Will do. Personally, I just like it the way my Mum made it back in
England. Cold, with just vinegar!! preferably with a slice or two of
good cold roast lamb! Yumm!!

I've had some success replacing brown sugar with Splenda and a small amount
of dark molasses (blackstrap).

Gillian, it's hard to say. Each DH processes carbs a little differently
than others. If the recipe interests you, make it with the sugar
substitute and serve him a small portion. Have him check his PPs at the
intervals where his numbers will show up (again, different for all) If
it works, it works. He can always cover with a bolus if the numbers
creep up. The folks on orals don't have that luxury.

Hi Pete,

What's the carb count on say a tablespoon of that molasses? Would that
combo be lower in carbs than the Splenda brown sugar mixture?

We're heading up to Houston on the 12th. Have dr. visits 13th and 20th.
If you still want to show us Houston, I'm feeling a whole lot better
than when we were there last and I was being nuked.

Anyone have a quick tutorial on how to cook for Thanksgiving in a
microwave/convection oven?

The motorhome doesn't have an oven and I can't seem to get the hang of
the convection one. (yes, I read the book)

Forward onto me, Janet. Still haven't got the hang of the covec/micro,
but thankfully this motorhome also has an oven. Have cooked many turkeys
in the RV oven LOL

1 teaspoon of dark molasses is about 5g of carbs and 20 calories (according
to USDA)
I use that with about 1/2 cup of Splenda to get an equivalent flavor to 1/2
cup of brown sugar
It's also less expensive.

1 teaspoon of Splenda Brown is 4g of carbs and 20 calories (per splenda.com)
You need 12 teaspoons (1/4 cup) to equal 1/2 cup of brown sugar.

However, in baking there is often a need for some real sugar in the recipe
to feed yeast, or retain moisture so this substitution doesn't always work.
It's something I've had to experiment with.

We'd be delighted to give you a tour of Houston while you're here.
I'll contact you off-line to make arrangements.

Well, I've been cooking with only one of those for a couple of months now -
I'm getting my kitchen refitted, and they won;t finish until after Christmas
:-(

I'm tending to let meats have a looooong resting time whilst I turbo-nuke
potatoes, etc.

We lived in our fifth wheels for 9 years and both had ovens. I remember
measuring the oven and taking the tape with me to the market then
measuring the turkeys in the case. People were giving me funny looks <g>

I do have an electric roaster and can do turkey in that, but I think
we'll be at a communal dinner where the turkies are provided and
everyone makes a side dish or desert. This motorhome only has a two
burner range top and the micro/convection. It's a rather high-end
model RV but I think the manufacturer thinks that the people who buy
their brand eat out all of the time.

This email address works, please send any tips and recipes for RV
cooking in a micro/convection there.

Thanks and hugs,
Janet

Everyone asks that. I can't handle anything hot or cold. Only room temp.
I have to watch fruit because anything acid hurts my mouth which still
has radiation sores. I have never been able to eat yogurt or sour cream.
The cultures give me terrible heartburn. I have my high protein Boost.
I have a loosely scrambled egg with a little milk in it and melted swiss
cheese for breakfast. I can taste egg and cheese. I eat fish every day.
I get plenty of protein.

I wish I could eat ice cream or malted milks, but the cold hurts.

It still needs a bit of sweet. It tastes like eating baking chocolate
without the sweet.

This little darling was adopted from Guatamala. We were in Houston when
they were bringing her home and they had to change planes there to get
to New Jersey. They had an hour between flights so we got to meet her
and play with her. The best day I had in Houston!!

Just to show you how horrible everything was, while we were in Houston
our little dog passed away. She was with us in the RV and very happy to
be there. She had a wonderful walk with her daddy, met other doggies and
people friends and the next morning she was gone. I'm still crying
almost every day for her. She was 9 and a half.

I had to call the nurse at the surgeon's office today. She confirmed
that 2 months is the minumum waiting time for the reversal. I'm past
that. She knows I'd like it done while we are up ther.

DH is sulking a bit because I fired him from part of his nursing job. I
just had to take some control of my own care. He still insists on laying
out my night time meds and making sure I eat because I have no appetite
and forget to eat.
