CCCF 2 Ⓥ Chipotle Tofu Tostada

Posted on March 2, 2023 by jeffreylatty

Happy March!

Two new Ⓥegan products were utilized and enjoyed for today’s lunch:)

The Ⓥegan ‘cheese’ doesn’t melt , as doesn’t most Ⓥegan ‘cheese, the way I wish it would. Daiya ‘cheese’ melts a little better. These LOW CARB Tortillas are amazing:) Small, but delicious and seemingly versatile, as they need to be.

CCCF 1 – TOFU Ⓥ MEIN

Posted on February 18, 2023February 18, 2023 by jeffreylatty

After a near death DKA episode, ER visit, ICU stay – resulting in a Type One Diabetes diagnosis, last year, my food consumption lifestyle became a little more strict.

Carbohydrates are my friend, but when not monitored or prepared for, they are my newest enemy.

My new concept is CCCF = Carb Conscience Comfort Food 🙂

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:)

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:)
