CCCF 5 – Cauli Ⓥ’Brien

Posted on March 16, 2023 by jeffreylatty

CCCF = Carb Conscience Comfort Food

After being diagnosed Type ONE Diabetic in 2022, most comfort food was gone after blood sugar levels monitoring became an all day//everyday lifestyle.

Ingredients and food has been my constant lifestyle for a long time. I ADAPT & EVOLVE.

My goal is to not have to take a lot of insulin to compensate the high Carb intake. Being a self-diagnosed Carb Addict, portion control is not easy… Progress is being made:)

Lower Carb Chickenless Parmesan w/ Meatless Sauce

Posted on January 14, 2023 by jeffreylatty

HELLO:)

Gardein Chickenless patties are phenomenal and extremely “hefty” for being Ⓥegan. Chicken Parm in Vegan or Vegetarian style has been prepared before, but not in a lower carb fashion. I had FUN with this one:)

Making this a meal, was to add spaghetti – in my eyes and tastebuds! Spaghetti is high carbs, which is unfortunate… Being a recovering carb addict, I LOVE spaghetti! Not as much as Linguine, but…. Low Carb Spaghetti does exist. It’s not perfect as a lot of substitution foods are. Aren’t?

CHEERS FOR CAPERS:)

Happy New Year Tomatoes

Posted on December 31, 2022 by jeffreylatty

I’m hopeful for an outstanding and prosperous 2023. We’ve all had some interesting and challenging last couple of years.

All of us deserve an easier year!

Roasted Tomatoes were made and thoroughly enjoyed.

Simple, versatile and delicious.

I sliced the Tomatoes and placed on parchment paper to be seasoned and topped with Ⓥ Parmesan ‘Cheese’ or regular Parmesan Cheese – depending on diet and preference:)

Cheers to a new year!

Pasta Zero Spaghetti

Posted on November 19, 2022 by jeffreylatty

Probably the most difficult thing about being diagnosed with Type One Diabetes, for me, is having to cut out a lot of my favorite foods from my diet. Monitoring Carb intake isn’t hard – it takes discipline and low carb food.

My goal is Not to take insulin if I don’t have to. The deciding factor is food consumed and the carbs included. Vegetables usually have moderate to extreme Carbs. Luckily, not all.

I tend to make exceptions for higher Carb foods that are high in Fiber and/or Protein. Also, I am not perfect.

I found this Pasta! It is Pasta Zero by Nasoya. It’s Vegan, gluten free, low Carb and Calories. For the first time since being diagnosed Diabetic, I enjoyed guiltless Spaghetti. It was delicious and I give it two thumbs up without the insulin:)
