Butternut squash lasagne sheets! I will look out for thoseToday, I made this:
Lovely veggie lasagna with this:
Yummy, and dog enjoyed licking bowl so much I gave him a few teaspoons of his own....
Edited to add the bowl looks more like a trifle.....
I think I will buy them just to use as veg too cos peeling a squash is so wasteful when I do it and hard on my hands too. Normally just cut in half & roast if I do get it...Butternut squash lasagne sheets! I will look out for those
I never used to peel the BNS, just cut it into cubes and the skin would go thin and edible as it roasted. Still a ****** to chop though. I tested myself a couple of years ago with BNS and the results were not great, but I find I can handle carbs better these days so will give them a go again.I think I will buy them just to use as veg too cos peeling a squash is so wasteful when I do it and hard on my hands too.

Was the best alternative to pasta I've seen.....not fancied leeks or cabbage leaves. .
Being a butternut squash virgin I didn't know if the skin was edible or not.....Its on a par with turnip and celeriac for cutting up though isn't it and my hands just aren't up to it ....I never used to peel the BNS, just cut it into cubes and the skin would go thin and edible as it roasted.

Which reminds me, I had a surprise HBA1C at the blood pressure clinic a couple of weeks ago. Latest is 36. Up from 35 in January, but the period included all our birthdays plus Easter so I am calling it a win!

Well done on the 36....
Uncanny. So similar to the one I make (though now I know I can eat the skin) I bake with the holes filled with spicy couscous and all topped with feta .. lots of itCheers, JanI had a Saturday job in a greengrocers when I was at school and I learned an easy way to half a turnip using a machete and gravity. Not sure it would be allowed now!
I used to enjoy a slightly modified version of this recipe years ago. The skin is left on the BNS so less faff.

Lowlife bread sounds a bit grimB: Muesli
L: Hummus sandwich
D: Quorn stir fry with cauli-rice
Snack: Club biscuit
AWOL recently due to work: I've returned to full-time work -> hurray or boo, depending what mood I'm in!
I'm continuing to experiment with lower carbs( 100 - 150g per day) as my pancreas seems to be (almost) dead now, so I can tolerate fat and I'm less worried about losing weight. I'm relying on Lowlife bread and eating less pasta/potatoes etc rather than relying on cauli-rice and courgetti.
It's going well: so long as I don't move around much my BG stays very stable. However, taking my dog for a walk causes a hypo unless I eat some "junk" first (hence the club biscuit today).
Don't think I've the patience or the capacity for repeated hand movements to do it....do like courgettes in fritattaThe best alternative to pasta I have had is courgette thinly sliced and woven into sheets ..

Sounds gorgeous.......though I've never tried ricotta.....I love most cheese except emental and blue cheeses.....so far at least...I haven't either Jan, but the wife love to do all that kinda thing .. if you roll the courgette lattice with a filling of ricotta cheese and spinach then you can make a wonderful cannelloni .. when you coming over for lunch ?
that sounds delicious.Yesterday I had scrambled eggs and mushrooms for brunch.
In the evening there was a family Italian-y birthday dinner at my mum's so I made my own spiralised courgettes in Sacla vegetarian recipe pesto sauce, sundried tomatoes, feta and flaked almonds. Takes only minutes to throw together so I wasn't in the way. I also took along a Lidl high protein roll which I had cut into thin soldiers, toasted and rubbed with a garlic clove so I had my own garlic bread.
For pudding I had made low carb chocolate mousse flavoured with spiced rum, lime and chilli and served in little espresso cups. I may be able to photograph a leftover one.
And champagne
