Vegetable layers with chicken concoction.

[ereino]

Here is what I am having for lunch today.  New idea form me.  Cook a whole chicken in water cause I love freezing the broth for my husband's jumbalaya.  Then shred chicken and mix mayo; crushed flax seed; blanched almonds; plain sunflower seeds and sea salt to taste and mix. (add as little or as much of the above as you like).    Slice up tomatoes; raw zucinni (I used yellow); raw mushrooms.  now layer.  Lay down the sliced tomatoe.  Ontop of the tomatoe place the zucinni slice, then the sliced mushroom; then on top of that the chicken concoction and then I add a black olive on top of it all.  Sprinkle a little sea salt on top, if you like.  So cool and refreshing for lunch.  Don't know the net carb count, but as you can see, all good stuff.  ENJOY!

I should also note that I also added cut up bean sprouts to the chicken concoction.

That does sound yummy, Ellie!

Just be sure you measure and count those carbs!
"Carb Creep" is our #1 worst enemy because it's so sneaky.

This must be crunchy Great idea!

[ereino]

yes, as I was thinking about this, I didn't count zuccini carbs - I am going to look on the web shortly.  if you only have a normal size and not over indulge, it should be okay.  It was very good and

I love to see our members get so creative with our ingredients, lets call it "Chicken Ereino"

You are too funny, Doug!  I do understand the 'carb creep' though - and it is important to not over indulge.  Maybe this is more of a snack or if you do one or two - I'm rethinking it.  They are delish, though!  

Doug, I absolutely love your idea of the cucumber sandwich, which I am having right now.  Such a great idea.

I also am on to my next book my Dr. prescribed for my husband, who is diabetic in tandem with your book.  It is called Wheat Belly by Dr. William Davis.  We are now cutting out all wheat products and you would be surprised (maybe not) how wheat gets into our gum coatings, medicines, cheese coatings (like I think I read somewhere in the forum that you published stating to just use the cheese you shred yourself.  I was really enlightened and so was Ken, my husband.  Reading labels is fine, but now reading ingredients is especially important.  

You take care and keep the faith my dear brother in the Lord!

Oh, just another note with the 'gluten free' products on the market now.  This new book also mentions that the gluten free products are just that, gluten free....BUT, they list in their ingredients using either corn starch, potato starch, brown rice starch or tapioca starch.  No wonder there are many obese celiac people out there now-a-days, with all of the extra sugar they are pumping into their bodies.

That's great, Ellie!

Carbs are almost everywhere in prepackaged foods!

Since the FDA is no picky about carb info on labels, reading the ingredients list is VERY important!
My rule... If any one or more of the first three ingredients is known to be high carb, I won't buy the product.
