Default turkey noodle soup.

8 cups turkey broth
1 16 oz bag mixed vegetables
1 16 oz bag vegetables for stew
6 oz turkey shredded
4 servings ronzoni yokless egg noodles

bring broth to boil add both bags of vegetables, bring to boil a second
time.

add turkey and season to taste, we used sage, oragano and parsley flakes,
simmer ten minutes, then bring back to boil and add noodles, cook until
tender, turn off let cool, divide into ten servings.

I do ww so go for a bit smaller portions and get seconds if i need them.
this turned out to hav 140 calories, 1.6 gm fat and 3 gm fiber by our
calculations.

Default turkey noodle soup.

i think it would serve six easily, i made ten servings and i would consider
them lunch portions, DH ate his with a scali roll, i had two very small
dinner rolls with mine and it was more than enough for lunch

as to the carbs, that is something i don't understand, and another reason i
came here, i want to figure out how to find this count, i tried reading some
stuff on the net but it was uber complex talking about sugar alchol net
carbs and all that... part of why i put in the brand of noodles is that i
figured those of you who were interested would know how to look on the
bag... i buy them because they are 30/40 less in calories than regular, are
a bit sturdier without that gritty mouth feel of some higher fiber noodles,
I guess i should get my head out of the base ball play offs and start
another thread about this, Lee

Thanks,
Now that I know the servings I can get a close carb count with my Master
Cook Program.

All diabetics are different Lee. I can handle corn, carrots and onions no
problem. Rolls and noodles I can't. Its all personal experimentation with
one's meter. As a diabetic I change recipes around a bit to suit myself. For
your recipe I would have just nixed the noodles for me and had no rolls.
HOw is your diabetic control? Perhaps we can show you how to work your meals
so you can gain good control (presuming about your control until you
clarufy).

i am not diabetic, my brother is, i am here to learn more so i understand
his needs better. i also am thinking that if i understand this now should
the need arise it won't be a huge shock to me. also my weight is an issue
so i figured learning about good lower carb recipes would help there as
well. thanks for the imput, this diabetic thing seems veery similar to my
allergies, i can tolerate some things in very moderate portions, others i
can't ever have without some reaction... again, thanks, Lee

Leem if you are overweight then you have a goodly chance of becoming
diabetic yourself. In general lowering carbs is a good start for someone
like yourself. Being in a small, supportive and caring group like this one
can help you understand more about the meal structure that is better for a
diabetic than a lot of carbs.

If you are able to tell us the kinds of dishes your brother and mum like at
gatherings I am sure we can help you adapt recipes to make them more
diabetic friendly and also help you at the same time.

Diabetics come in all shapes and sizes and types. They are all on differing
amounts of drugs, insulin and exercise. What carbs I can eat (as a non drug
user) could be far less than what other people in here could tolerate or
vice versa.

I really enjoy your recipes and food ideas, some I would definitely have to
adapt to suit myself but they are a valuable contribuition all the same.

thanks for that.

my weight, while going slow is becoming a successful endeavor, I started at
251.6 I am now at 170.04 lowest was 151.2 my first goal is 146 so i feel
good about that. i recently read my bg every morning for a month to see if
it were in normal ranges and it was always between 80 and 94 in the morning,
one thing i have learned here already is that i might benifit from checking
the levels after i eat to see how different foods affect me personally.
that alone has been worth the reading.

my family will pretty much eat anything, traditional usa thankgiving and
other holiday foods, at the most recent family reunion there were no less
than twenty cakes, fifteen pies and who knows how many kinds of salads and
side dishes, my brother stuck to the grilled meat, green beans and his one
big weakness potato salad...

his favorite pie is blueberry, his favorite cookie is choc chip and he loves
potato salad as i said,

Lee

I lost over 90 lbs with WW, before points though. It wasn't a deprivation
diet back then either and they claimed that if you followed the diet to a T
including the milk and liver etc you wouldn't get excess skin or be left
with a turkey neck. There were some incredibly overweight people doing the
program at the time I went through and everyone's skin went back to normal.
I am still of the mindset that weight loss is better all round if it is
slower and without deprivation. Very low calorie diets didn't do my looks
any favours, always looked (and felt) unhealthy.

part of what i had to overcome was a stand still metabolic rate, the meds i
took for my eyes had some nasty side effects, so not only do i gain weight
by walking near food, i had to learn that eating the right things sometimes
are higher in calories but better for overall health, Lee

I am not Evelyn but for dinner (one example) I do a basic meat/fish etc. To
that I add a pile of low or no starch vegetables that I can handle and then
for my kids I add some carb - be it potato, pasta, rice, rolls - whatever.
My soups usually have beans or lentils in with the meat and veggies and
that's fine for me but once again the kids will add garlic bread, toast or
rolls.

Where I once used to have rice with a stirfry I now leave the rice to the
kids and just add more veggies to the mix.

i guess its just confusing good vs bad and which carb affects each person
differently, i was thinking, brother has no issue with corn but can't eat
white rice, but recently told my mom he could handle a very small portion of
brown rice... so much information that i know HAS to make sense, maybe it
will just take time, Lee

Ugh! I remember the old WW. Liver once a week, white fish twice a week.
Tons of French Style (why that style?) canned green beans. Spaghetti
squash. And hideous milk shakes and "mints" made of powdered milk.

My friends wouldn't eat dinner at my house in those days.

i lost fast on that one but the habits didn't take, wish it had, the only
problem i had was the liver, it simply will not stay down, i even think i
like the taste but can't keep it down long enough to take two bites in a row
to know for sure, LOL, Lee

Must have been adapted to Aussie tastes back then We had the liver, the
skimmed milk, the fish etc not the canned beans. What I liked was that
everything was set in amounts, I didn't have to think I made the
milkshakes but out of liquid skimmed milk. With strawberry flavouring and
saccharin, lol. I liked the group style meeting and the weigh-ins. Sweet n
sour liver was one of my favourite recipes!

For the most part. But there are still things I really can't eat a lot
of.

You need to read Jennifer's famous advice to newbies. I must have it
around somewhere, or perhaps another person could oblige with a link?

Lee, you should get a carb counting book so you can find out how many
carbs adn effective carbs different foods have. The one I use is a slim
paperback by the Atkins peole. I don't have it hand to get the exact
name, but it lists allkinds of foods bycatagory, giving the total carbs
adn the net effective carbs, without the fiber countng as carb.

Yu do need to have some idea of what the carb count is of the various
foods you want to eat even though we may react differently to
differentfoods. I have no issue with carrots or tomatoes, but some peole
do. that doesn't meat I will eat 27 of them at a sitting:-)

i do the same thing. i rejected garlic because dh asked for no garlic. i
put it in everything unless he requests not. hot sauce is out for dh as
well, i like that idea... and this one was created to use what i had in the
freezer, we are emptying it to defrost before winter so i can refill it... i
like the spinach idea also.

Wendy, I make my Pumpkin pie crustless too. I also have a recipe that I put
in little custard cups, It's the pumpkin/pudding/cream cheese recipe. When
we are invited to dinner for the holidays I just take one of the pumpkin
cups with me and have that for dessert when they are serving pie to others.
Your bird dressing sound yummy..I'd have to leave the mushrooms out as hubby
doesn't like them

This is a really good one from the web: I don't like the red pepper in it,
so I leave it out. and I like chopped eggs.

FauxTato Salad

Medium sized fresh cauliflower, about 3 cups cut up
1 cup celery, chopped, about 4 stalks
1 cup red onion, chopped, about 4 ounces
1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
4 hard boiled eggs
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Cut the cauliflower into bite-size pieces and place in a large casserole.
Add 1 tablespoon water; cover and microwave on HIGH 6-7 minutes, stirring
after half the time. Let stand, covered, 5 minutes then drain. Chill the
cauliflower until it's at least lukewarm before adding the remaining
ingredients. Stir in the celery, onion, & bell pepper.

In a small bowl, mix all of the remaining ingredients except the eggs; pour
over cauliflower and mix well. Peel and grate the eggs (you can chop them,
but running them over a grater is fast and gives you a uniform size). Gently
stir the eggs into the salad so you don't break up the yolks too much. Chill
well before serving.

Sometimes I go ahead and cook the cauliflower on the stove until preferred
doneness, and then into ice water so as not to get it mushy. Actually,
subbing cauliflower for your favorite potato salad recipe works great too. I
really have come to prefer it over regular potato salad, and no heartburn.
All my kids and hubby likes it too. :-)

I don't Jacquie, because I usually cook a large head of Cauliflower and know
there is more than 3 cups when cooked, so I just adjust mayo and mustard
accordingly, and I like lots of eggs, so I always add more than 4 eggs.

: Wendy, I make my Pumpkin pie crustless too. I also have a recipe that I put
: in little custard cups, It's the pumpkin/pudding/cream cheese recipe. When
: we are invited to dinner for the holidays I just take one of the pumpkin
: cups with me and have that for dessert when they are serving pie to others.
: Your bird dressing sound yummy..I'd have to leave the mushrooms out as hubby
: doesn't like them


One of my typos. I do make pumpkin custard, but for thanksgiving, when I
have many to feed traditionally, I make a nUt crust with fod processed
walnuts adn splenda, no extra butter or oil neded adn just pat it into th
epie pan ad =bake for about 10-15 mins before using with the pumplin ctuff
and bake again.
