I just received my order from Low Carb Grocery Store, mmmm the flax seed low carb bread and beanit butter was sooo good it was the first thing I tried.The bread is so fresh, thanks everyone for letting me know about them, its so hard finding anything low carb in Canada.

I know, I love the Low Carb Grocery, they are very quick with their orders and have a pretty well everything we are looking for and can't find in a grocery store.  I didn't like the Beanit Butter at first, but it grows on you.

Have you tried the bakers deluxe superflax bread shihtzumom1? It is very good and arrived very fresh.I also orderedpancake waffle mix,Sensato apple cinnamom hot cereal and 2 cans of black soy beans.I would like to make chili but tomatoe sauce is sort of hi in carbs and ideas?

Yes, I ordered that bread the last time too and it was very good.  For chili I ordered the Walden Farms Marinara Sauce that had 0 net carbs.  The first time I made chili I can't remember if I used the PC Blue Menu diced tomatoes, or the Hunt's No Salt added Tomato sauce.  They were quite high in carbs, but less than any other tomato sauce I found.  The lowest pasta sauce from a store at home I found was Classico (not sure what you put in your chili).  With the canned black soy beans, it worked well to make the chili in the crock pot so they cooked all day and softened up.  Good luck with your chili.  

Let me know what spices you use.  I used to always used the French's or Club House packages of chili spices but they are very high in carbs.  I haven't yet found the right mixture of spices and would love some suggestions.

Thanks for the tip on the Marinara sauce, my sister is going to Watertown tomorrow so I'll get her to check for me.

My favorite chili spices  for chili are chili powder,cayenne(add in 1/4 teaspoon increments alittle goes along way.If you make it too spicy add some sweet and it will cut it) cumin, garlic or garlic powder(if you use garlic powder cut salt back),salt and ground pepper.

Thanks Umpa, I'll give it a try next time.

I tried something different the other night, instead of tomatoe sauce on my meatballs I used Classico Alfredo with sundried tomatoes sauce not bad and lower carb than tomatoe sauce.
