I am trying to remember what I ate today because my blood sugar has been great all day. (Someone dinged me to another's post of eating disorder-how rude!)
Yesterday-I had oatmeal, cheetos, an apple, a very small banana, 2 slices pepperoni pizza, 16 oz. 2% milk and half a Braum's chicken raspberry walnut salad yesterday, and about 1 and 1/2 oz. peanuts and lots of water.
today: (fasting blood sugar 126 mg/dl this morning at 7am.)
Breakfast: 1 packet Better Oats with flax brown sugar maple flavor, 1 cup coffee with 2 oz 2% milk, 1 slice Orowheat Healthnut bread with butter and 1 teaspoon Amish apple butter
Lunch: half of a Jimmy's Egg garbage breakfast (that's what it is actually called on the menu-it has hash browns, two eggs over easy, cheese, green bell peppers, onions), 1 slice buttered whole wheat toast (blood sugar 107 mg/dl 2 hours after lunch)
Snack: 1 Honey crisp apple,
Dinner: Lean Cuisine Turkey and dressing with apples, 1 miniature banana, water
I am comfort eating and the menu is what I was eating before I joined the forum and my blood sugar is better than it has been for weeks. I also mowed the lawn and walked today. The election is finally over although the result was terrible. So I ate more, exercised more, and stressed less today than usual.

What is a low carb toad in the hole? We make a slice of bread with a hole in the center, fried with an egg in the hole.

What is a low carb toad in the hole?

TitH is a beef or pork sausage laden batter pudding.

I suppose one of the forum recommended low carb flour alternatives are needed for the batter mix, to give it the legal name "Low Carb Toad in the Hole".

 

[Deespee23]

Toad in the hole is (British) sausages cooked in Yorkshire pudding batter - a British dish (never heard of it being found elsewhere...). Some American friends of mine were not amused when they found out what black pudding was..........after they'd eaten it!



PS Tipetoo beat me to it!

Sorry messed up my links:

I'm still tweaking it slightly but this recipe creates a pretty good batter. Watch the carbs in the sausages you choose.
