Cuddles,
I made the Lentils Italiano on Friday night. IT WAS GREAT! I made a double
batch and we ate it again after skiing yesterday. You have some great
recipes. No spikes in the blood sugars after that meal either. I spiced it
up a little with crushed chilli peppers (1 tsp), and the second day we added
some low fat turkey sausage (carnivore hubby) when reheating. Thanks again,
you are a fabulous cook. Tammie, good to hear that the Chicken Fajitas are
tasty. I will definitely try them. Keep on sending those delicious
recipes. Rebecca.

Cathy,
I used low sodium chicken broth and it tasted great. I do recommend putting
in all the spices and we added some turkey sausage as well on round two the
next day. YUMMY, and the real bonus NO spike in BG after the meal.

Bumping up,,,, hoping Susie might give it a try,,,, lol,,,,,, this was the first lentil recipe I ever used,,,,, never thought I would like them either,,,, but I did,,,, and as others said,,,, adding some Turkey Italian Sausage really makes it yummy,,,,,, and do put all the crushed red pepper flakes in,,,,,, We use a hot Italian Turkey sausage sometimes to go with it,,,, But not everytime,,, the lentils alone have alot of protein in them,, Try it, and hope you like it!! cuddles |
