Type 2s: What have you eaten today?

[LivingLightly]

3 cups canned chicken rice soup

Have you tried cauliflower rice @cdpm? It's nourishing and diabetic friendly. Provided that I don't let on, family and friends don't notice the difference. They think they're eating fried rice.

You can buy ready made cauliflower rice, but I prefer to make my own; nicer IMO and cheaper too.

Homemade potato soup.

Good to see home-made soup on the menu @cdpm once again.
From what you've said, I believe home-made soups, broths and stews are part of the solution.

Last week's home-made ground beef and vegetable soup ddn't cause intestinal distress. Long may that continue @cdpm.
