Whatcha Eatin?

[silva]

Yesterdays tamale pie. I lifted the cornmeal crust to add the Aldi vegan cheddar shreds. I bought those specifically for the casserole-and forgot to add them under the cornbread topping . Those are pretty good for things like this, I'm so surprised my store still carries them

Those fries were so nice and spicy. Beef vegan burger.

Whole wheat toast with spread & Marmite.

My usual smoked tofu/mustard/spread sandwich made with whole wheat bread.
A few carrots and almonds.
Apple puree with soya cream.

Bacon toast. I added mayo, garlic, hot sauce, and mini tomatoes to mine. Hub has the day off so I made a quick breakfast.

I had a lovely noodley soup earlier with fresh spinach and kale and mushrooms along with the soy curls and other frozen veg.

@Emma JC That sounds great!... and also healthy. I've been concerned about developing Type 2 Diabetes lately. I'm doing okay so far, but I've been educating myself about what foods have a high glycemic index, and cause a more severe blood sugar spike. It turns out that the unsweetened-but-quick-cooking oats I often eat have a higher glycemic index than I thought, while steel-cut oats or regular oats (both in moderation) are a much safer option for people like me.

I just posted this link in the Diabetes thread: Oatmeal for diabetes: Benefits, nutrition, and tips

 

[Emma JC]

@Tom L. I can understand your concerns however Type II is not caused by sugar it is caused by a build up of fat in the cells that blocks that ability of insulin to do its job - this is not just thoughts from our favourite plant-based doctors but is also from the NIH
Why Does Obesity Cause Diabetes? - PMC
so if your body mass index is normal I don't really think you have cause for concern.... as always check with a health practitioner and don't just listen to me.... and yes, I always eat steel cut or rolled oats, and you can always do like I do with the steel cut and make more than you need for one meal, put it in the fridge and reheat for the next time - rolled oats I just do in water in the microwave so that is also quick and easy.

Today we are having breakfast beans/onion/jalapeno on toast with lightly fried potatoes that I cooked a pot full of yesterday - cooled them outside and then in the fridge. They were starting to go off as I had a 10lb bag I picked up for $2 and so I figure this way I can make them last a bit longer. We will also have an orange/banana sliced.
