Loaded nachos
 
I finally found a cheese I can eat that actually TASTES like cheese. It's
Vegan Rice cheese by Galaxy. I tried the cheddar version. Too bad it has 6
g of carb per slice. So I have to kind of ration it.

I made nachos with it. I used some tortilla chips that I bought at the
health food store that also contain white salba (chia) seeds. They have
more fiber and protein than your regular chips. 12 chips had 19 g of carbs.
I carefully counted out 10 of these, topped them carefully with some
vegetarian refried beans, then two slices of rice cheese carefully torn in
small pieces, then a ton of chopped tomatoes, sliced green onion and some
whole, pitted black olives. I nuked it for about a minute. Just enough
time for the cheese to melt. Then I topped it with fresh salsa and dug in.

I accompanied this with a very small salad of spinach, bok choy, carrots and
teensy tomatoes. Made a very taste, very filling meal. And it didn't spike
me.

I must get some more of this cheese tomorrow. Angela loves the stuff. And
I must see if I can get them to order some Mozzarella for pizza. I think a
slice or two would be doable for me with one of those flat, vegetarian
pizzas from Trader Joes. If memory serves, they have 35 g of carbs per
pizza.
