Ask Umpa / Flatout flatbread
« on: January 14, 2014, 08:01:27 AM »
I found Flatout flatbread multi grain with flax at Kroger. They are 100 calories, high fiber (8g) carbs (17). Which makes them 9 carbs for one flatbread. My question is, if I cut them in half and use them as a wrap would that be ok? My thinking is if I cut it in half I would be getting 4 1/2 carbs.

I did half one this morning and put 2 pieces of turkey bacon, 1 egg, and 2 tbls shredded cheese (shredded from block).

Your thoughts everyone.  :)

Your welcome Kim P. I am still new at this and need all the help I can get. As I said in another post I am craving my snickers candy bars. Got any suggestions.  :)

Thanks, I really like something sweet once in a while and I think this would hit the spot. I also would like some chocolate to. I miss my chocolate. I used to eat a snickers candy bar at least once or twice a week. I find myself craving one. Any Ideas?

Thanks for the carb count. I had loaned out my book to my niece. When I made the recipe, I didn't add the onion. I know it doesn't make that much of a difference but I just didn't want the onion.

Ask Umpa / Cabbage Casserole
« on: January 12, 2014, 07:14:35 PM »
My niece gave me this recipe. Would you tell me what you think? I just got thru baking this. My husband said it is good. So please let me know how carb friendly it is.

Cabbage Casserole

1 to 1 1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup green bell pepper
1 can 14 oz diced tomatoes (I bought delmonte - has 2 carbs per 1/2 cup serving)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 head of cabbage
3/4 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese

Directions:

Brown ground beef, onion, and bell pepper until ground beef is done, drain, stir in tomatoes, salt and garlic powder. Simmer uncovered 10 minutes, stirring frequently.

Boil cabbage wedges in small amount of water covered for about 10 minutes and drain well.

Lightly butter a 9" baking dish (I used a 8 1/2 x 11). Place cabbage in dish and pour beef mixture over and around cabbage . Bake in 350 degree oven for 20 - 25 minutes. Sprinkle cheese over cabbage casserole and bake for another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Tony,
No my husband isn't in the military, he works for the Corp of Engineers. He was sent to Afghanistan to help oversee the rebuliding of their country. Our son however was in for 10 years until he had a seizure and was diagnosed with MS. He has been discharged for almost 2 years now.

Lean On My Shoulder / Re: I have a sensitive question

Thanks Doug,

I want to try the zero someday and the GG crispbread but right now both are just too expensive for me to get. I am sticking to the book as closely as I can. I am determined this time to get the weight off. I do find myself after a week into it, I am missing my sweets. I'm really trying to fight the urge. What do you do to battle thru?

Ask Umpa / Cauli Mash
« on: January 07, 2014, 07:29:03 PM »
I'm getting ready to make some cauli mash. This is the first time to make it. I don't have a food processor but I do have a blender. Does it make any difference? I know I won't get a response before I make it but would still like your input. I'm also going to try the fried chicken with pork rinds as my coating and some green beans. Sounds like a good meal, I just hope I like it.

That's a good idea, Tony but I don't like lobster. He got used to eating it when he was  in Afghanistan last year. The ribeye would get him, he loves steak. He's a steak and potato man.

I was full. Trying to get any more food is hard for me to do.

One of these days I'm going to get me some of the Zero. I haven't had sweet tea in over 3 years.

Thanks everyone for your support. This is going to be the year for change. I just know it.

Doug to your reply on getting rid of all the carb stuff in my house, I can't. My husband altho he is supporting me refuses
to eat the foods that I eat. Talk about being different, he thinks it is diet food even tho I try to tell him it isn't, so I just make sure I look at everything I go to eat. I know the things that I can't eat, it's really not to hard for me this time to stay away from it all. I really like this site because there is always someone who will always tell me honestly about the meals I eat and will let me know what changes if any need to be taken.
