Greetings @cdpm. Are Canadian potato chips the same as potato crisps in the UK?
My digestive system cannot handle spuds, but at least yours were salt-reduced and haven't caused gastric issues.

I'm not sure if they are the same. I've never tried them.

I prefer this thread so I will try hard to just list my food eaten.
Today will be homemade slow cooker meatballs. Containing ground Italian sausage I rolled into a meatball shape then put a can of pasta sauce in after I dumped the grease a few times.

I'm generally trying to broaden my meat-cooking and eating horizons; did my first brisket and pulled pork recently, so Jerky is next..

I tend to rotate the same tried and tested, diabetic-friendly meals quite a bit @Chris24Main.

Although my pool of recipes changes through the year as and when new ingredients come into season, there is quite a lot of repetition with just the occasional experiment every now and then.

Keeping our blood glucose levels in check is a daily challenge @Chris24Main.

I'm always on the lookout for new, mouthwatering recipes and this forum provides lots of inspiration. It's important to enjoy our low-carb lifestyle, otherwise we'd never stick to it, would we?
