Low Carb Recipe Links

In an effort to organize things a bit, I have divided my diabetic friendly food information into Low Glycemic Index Products, my own recipes, and links to recipes.  You can learn more about how I started this diabetic journey and random tips and tricks I have learned on the link to my own recipes page.

Below are links to recipes I have personally tried and really liked along with any notes or comments I wish to share.

Kroger sells a frozen philly meat that is expensive but makes this extremely easy!

If you are a guest in my house, the odds of me serving this are VERY high!  It's wonderful!

I use the recipe above and simply substitute diced cauliflower for the pasta.  It won't taste exactly the same, but it's still absolutely delicious and will fix a craving when you can't afford to cheat and eat the macaroni. If you want to use pasta, I would recommend Barilla Protein Plus or Dreamfield pasta, or try heart of palm cut into a macaroni size.

Jalapeno Popper Taquitos
I love these as a quick snack when I'm craving junk food.

Eggroll In a Bowl

Grilled Cheese Burrito - https://thecookful.com/grilled-cheese-burrito/
This is a copycat of Taco Bell's and when made with Mission Carb Smart tortilla, is within reason for a meal in terms of carbs.
Creamy Garlic Mushrooms with Bacon - https://diethood.com/creamy-garlic-mushrooms-bacon/
Easy Pineapple Dessert - https://cutefetti.com/easy-pineapple-dessert/
I make this with sugar free pudding mix and my husband loves it.
Stuffed Peppers
I left out the rice.

Almond Flour Peanut Butter Cookies 
These are great!  No hint of "healthy food" nastiness at all!

Pecan Pie Cheesecake
A new dessert I recently tried.  The pecan and caramel sauce is up to you...we did it and liked it...but the cheesecake is amazing regardless.  https://cookingpoint.net/keto-pecan-pie-cheesecake/

Custard Pie
I subbed in monk fruit sweetener in this pie and it was great!  I did it with a regular pie crust rolled thin, but you could use an almond flour crust or some other version if you needed to.  https://www.smalltownwoman.com/old-fashioned-silky-creamy-custard-pie/
Lasagna - I have learned that if I will make lasagna with only 2 layers of noodle and serve modest portions with a side salad, that is still very doable for us with no sugar spike.  I call a modest portion about the size of a half a lasagna noodle, so I often bake lasagna in mini-loaf pans.  I cut my noodle in half and each serving gets one noodle divided between the two layers.
Strawberry Cream Cheese Cobbler - as with all desserts that call for any version of a sugar substitute, I use monk fruit.  https://cookingpoint.net/keto-strawberry-cream-cheese-cobbler/
