Tonight we're having Mediterranean salmon with garlic butter ranch broccoli. OMG I wish you could smell this, it's so good! My ex girlfriend loves the salmon and broccoli. I love cooking healthy food for us.

At 730 tonight I put my garlic ranch buttered mushrooms in the oven for 20 minutes. Then I made my ex girlfriend a bowl of cheesy scrambled eggs.

In a bowl I put 3 eggs, a fistful of shredded cheese, 3 scoops of mushrooms and a spoonful of the butter sauce. I microwaved it for 1 minute. I stirred it up and microwaved it for another minute. Then it was close to being done but it needed 30 seconds. I also made 2 slices of toast and soaked them in the butter sauce.

Lemme tells to you something...

This was amazing. So flavorful and the texture was wonderful. I'm so happy!

My ex girlfriend tried a mushroom but she didn't like it. I'm not offended, I'm proud of her for trying. Mushrooms are healthy and delicious. Lots of good vitamins and minerals. And eggs are protein. The butter sauce and 3 slices of toast weren't healthy but I was craving comfort food. I'm trying.

Now I'm snacking on some brisket jerky. I got another bag cuz I ate the other one. Turns out she doesn't like it. I spent 20 bucks on this snack just for her. Doh.

I decided to try making another salad for lunch today. This time I didn't add diced summer sausage. I cut up 6 Dino nuggies and added some shredded cheese and a sliced cucumber. Oh wow it was amazing. I really love salad. I've got enough baby greens left for a side salad for dinner tonight. I need to get more salad, especially baby spinach. I am feeling very happy today. My tummy kinda hurts but I'm gonna take a Pepto and lay down for a bit.

This was my lunch today. One slice of garlic naan, 2 mini cucumbers, and 4 slices of garlic summer sausage dipped in garlic dill hummus. It was delicious and satisfying. I've also got some bell peppers for snacking.

Get prepared for celebrating Hanukkah with family and friends by taking a few measures ahead of time.

One way to prepare is by planning your meals in advance by counting carbs that you plan to eat ahead of time.

You can learn the exact number of carbs in foods by using a carb counting app.

You can use carb counting as a tool to match your activity level and medicines with the foods you eat. Most people with diabetes use it to manage their blood sugar more easily, which helps them stay healthy longer.

Here are just a few highly rated carb counting apps for 2021:

1) Carb Manager
2) Calorie Counter – MyFitnessPal
3) Macros
4) MyPlate Calorie Tracker
3) Senza

In addition to carb counting apps, you can use carb counting charts like the graphic above from Beyond Type 1 that was specially designed for Hanukkah.

🕎 What are some of the things in the graphic that stands out to you?

🕎 Are you surprised with the carb amounts?

Sharing another diabetes-friendly recipe. This recipe is for all of my pumpkin lovers 😀

Keto Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes

1 15 oz can pumpkin puree
1/2 cup sweetener
1/4 cup brown sweetener
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup Keto evaporated milk*
2/3 cup almond flour
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice*
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 12 cup muffin tin with silicone liners, foil liners sprayed with cooking spray or just spray the cups with cooking spray. Either of these three methods will make it easy to take the cupcake out after it’s cooked. Paper liners make it difficult to remove the cupcakes.

Mix the pumpkin, sweeteners, eggs, vanilla extract and evap. milk. Add the flour, pumpkin spice, salt, baking powder and baking soda to the mixture. Fill each muffin cup with 1/3 cup of the mixture. Bake for twenty minutes and let cool for twenty minutes. Remove cupcakes from pan and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle more pumpkin pie spice on top and serve. Makes 12 cupcakes.

* Keto Evaporated Milk:
20 oz Heavy Whipping Cream
Simmer 30-45 minutes in open saucepan, stirring constantly to avoid scorching.

Makes about 10 oz.
*Pumpkin Pie Spice:
3 tbsp. ground cinnamon
2 tsp. ground ginger
2 tsp. nutmeg
1 1/2 tsp. ground allspice
1 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
