A category for my diabetic food posts. All are part of my personal diabetes diet.
I have several posts on making ‘low carb’ primal chili … so I won’t go over it here. If you want to see those posts, click here for the recipe and here, here for additional posts. I made a huge pot of chili yesterday and had plenty of leftovers ready for use. :) Click to …
A friend on twitter (@meandjorge) mentioned that she was making stuffed zucchini and I decided to make my own… … I mean… what a WONDERFUL idea! Zucchini or Zukes as I like to call them are very low carb, only 4 grams of carbs per cup. I was making a big batch of chili to …
This post is really just a pictorial view of my time spent at T & D Farms today …. and pictures of the first meal prepared from the bounty. The first meal was a ‘sampler’ of pastured meats! :) T & D Farms is a family farm owned and operated by Todd and Danielle Mauldin …

This food post will be revisiting one of my all time favorite meals… The Omelette … I’ve posted about them several times and when my friend Joel Spencer posted his delicious looking omellete pic… I knew what I was having for lunch. Note: Click on Pics to Enlarge…. You will be glad you did. …
Remember, fatty meats are the KEY to successfully managing diabetes! Beef brisket is diabetes friendly, with all of that fat! So tasty and so filling.
The purpose of this post is three-fold … 1) Challenge you to eat new foods. I want to encourage EACH and every one of you to OPEN YOUR MINDS when it comes to new foods. By adding variety it increases the odds of success, especially those who waiver at times. This post will demonstrate to …
Fish, Cactus, Bacon and Eggs… diabetes friendly all. Read More »
On the next to the last day in Wilmington, NC (see previous post, “Thriving in Wilmington“) I made a grocery run. I purchased a beef round roast (it was on sale) and decided to slice it up thin, braise in bacon and add to a salad. Why did I slice and braise as opposed to broiling …
If patience is the only virtue… I’d be virtue-less. I’m sure you have heard of the biblical story relating to the ‘patience of Job’. I have so little patience, I have the patience of Jo. :) I purchased a Corned Beef Brisket that was ‘pre-spiced’…. I was STOKED, this would be my first attempt …
In this previous post I discussed fermented foods. The process of fermenting is a positive thing for everyone… ESPECIALLY for diabetics. Fermenting is a process by which beneficial bacteria ‘eats’ carbohydrates, thereby reducing the blood sugar affect… meanwhile increasing the nutrients of the food or drink. … it’s a Win / Win!! This makes ‘fermenting’ …
Are fermented foods diabetic friendly? They can be, but certainly not all fermented foods are diabetic friendly. We’ll discuss the main reasons why.
Yesterday, Saturday 9/3/11 was INTERNATIONAL BACON DAY!!! I posted about my celebratory meal which was my version of the “Bacon Explosion“, click here if you missed it. Mark schweigert and I had a friendly competition to see who could make the best … and he clearly won. However, as Mark said, ‘there are no losers’… and …
(Click Pictures to Enlarge) Saturday 9/3 is International Bacon Day!!! Woo HOO! …what’s that? YOU DID NOT KNOW!!! … I did not either until Adrienne Harvey told me about it… thanks ADRIENNE! Bacon specifically and pork generally was extremely important in the first year of my ‘journey’. I relied heavily on bacon … I still …
This meal was totally cooked on the Grill. A grilled, bacon, egg and beef MEATWICH! :) ** Remember: You can click on any picture to enlarge it. I tried, very successfully, grilling bacon not long ago (click here if you missed that post) and thought immediately about grilling the other half of a very basic …
This post is more of a pictorial view than a recipe. I know what you are thinking… So what else is new! :) When I did my lowER fat experiment (NOT low fat … lowER fat), in an attempt to reduce fats I re-discovered my grill. I am so glad I did… I’ve enjoyed grilling …
The title is meant to imply that this rub would go well on anything … but Truth be told I have NOT tried this ‘rub’ with everything … I have tried it with chicken, beef steaks and fish… and I LOVE IT. Like 99% of my foods … it’s so simple a caveman can do …
keep an eye on it….Not literally that would be PAINFUL! :))
Do it right and you’ll be rewarded with THE best tasting BACON … ever!!!
The smokey flavor from the grill…. OMG GOOD!!!!
This started out being a post dedicated to GRILLED BEEF BRISKET!!!! See the picture below … I really really tried. :) But then circumstances spiraled out of control. (hyperbole much?) :) My gas grill began to lose it’s flame…. I had plenty of propane, I won’t bore you with the details just know that the brisket …
Butterflying or Spatchcocking chickens are a great way to prepare a ‘whole chicken’. Grilling a whole is diabetes friendly. This is more true if you eat all the parts, especially the fatty parts. I usually save the lean cuts for leftovers, adding butter when eating them separately. Eating a ‘whole’ chicken is more nutritious than just eating …
Yet another low carb, truly diabetic friendly, tasty and satiating meal.
The American Diabetes Association would not approve of this meal … because it has too much fat, too much protein and there are no ‘whole grains’.
