That sounds good. I had baked chicken and mashed potatoes. I’m soon going to fix a bowl of cream of rice and an egg wrap to take for lunch tomorrow. Found a cool recipe I’d love to try.

And here’s another one I have GOT to make very, very soon.

That recipe looks really tasty Linda, but my Diabetes won’t let me eat the strawberries although I love them, but I suppose I can always put Blueberries there instead.

Today its Beef Steak, R. Potatoes, Greens & Carrots.

Yep, blueberries would work. Although I’ve heard all berries are okay for diabetics, as long as you don’t eat too much of them. Is there a difference between blueberries and strawberries?

I don’t know Linda, they say eat Blueberries for Diabetes as its very good for Diabetics, whereas Strawberries contain a lot of sugar.

You had me worried there Susiejaeger when you said you could not eat strawberries because of your diabetes as we have had a few strawberries the last few weeks and hubby was eating them.

I have looked it up and this is the comment that comes up -
strawberries and most other berries tend to contain less carbohydrates per serving and constitute excellent fruit options for all diabetics.

Well, all fruit contains sugar, even if they’re natural sugars. I looked it up and one cup of strawberries contains 7 grams of sugar. One cup of blueberries contains 15 grams of sugar.

Really 15 grams of sugar, I won’t be buying blueberries then.

Looks like you’re better off with the strawberries after all. But you also have to think about how many blueberries you eat at a time. Like if you just sprinkle on a small handful, maybe 1/4 cup, that’s less than 4 grams of sugar.

Yes you’re Linda.

We just had Roast Pork with stuffing and vegs. for dinner, it was lovely.

I’m having 2 beautiful fillets of catfish today using a recipe called Mustard Fried Catfish. It’s soooooooooooooo yummy.

Have never tried Catfish before and I have only had one in my Fish Tank.
Was it nice?

Where do you buy Catfish?

We had a Fry-up for dinner today.

Yes, it was very good. I buy it at my local grocer in the seafood department.

Today for lunch I had an egg wrap and some cottage cheese. Haven’t eaten anything else yet.

Homemade Shepherd’s Pie today.

Not sure what I’m eating today. I haven’t had time to think about it.

I had a stir fry last night love doing food like this throw everything into a wok and hey presto a dish full of nice colours on your plate

I do that too. Just toss everything together and you’re good to go.

Today its:

Cod in Batter, Homemade Oven Chips and peas.

Just let me know what time to be at your house. I’ll bring dessert.

:lol:

I have no idea what I’m eating today, as I’ve got a bunch of running around to do with my son. They’re out of school this week for spring break and I’m taking him for his written driver’s exam (yes, my nightmare officially begins today) and then I need to hit the store and the bank. My son is eating a nice, hearty breakfast but I always leave myself out. I take care of everyone else but me, lol.

Had a roast dinner today, it was lovely.

Roast Lamb, Baked Potatoes, Cabbage, Carrots, Mint Gravy.

Today I’m having baked chicken and fresh golden beets.

I haven’t gotten on the scale in a while, so I have no idea where I’m at as far as weight.
