Can you do something simple like grilled chicken or steak? With some potatos on the side? Or white rice?

My really simple cooking ideas are ALL pasta, lol. Or I buy ready to heat chicken and just stick it in the oven and make a side of rice, mashed potatos or pasta. I usually get popcorn chicken, but this week I bought bourbon chicken and I 'made' that last night for dinner - yummy and FAST. Just 20 minutes in the oven (popcorn chicken is only 12 minutes in the oven).

I wish it could be that easy :( I love DH and all but his diet is killer....lol

no rice
no mashed potatoes
no pasta
no bread (which means bread crumbs too)
no fries (that's the worst for me haha)
nothing with sugar in it (I even have to make my own taco seasoning)

see my dilema???

oh DERRRRR, you did say no carbs in your first post. For some reason I thought it said pasta when I was responding.

I DO see your dilemma.

How about a grilled chicken salad? With lots of mixed greens, some cheese, and light dressing?

I am trying to figure out what he can eat that diet is rough. I was going to say a tir fry but he can't have rice or pasta so i have nio idea what you would serve it over.

I make tacos alot with ground turkey...


BUT - when we have absolutely nothing, we make omelettes or scrambled eggs - you could try that - its very filling and has your protein and then you just throw in whatever extra veggies or chees you have in your fridge!

Between myself and him....we're awful!! Mine is just being picky and his is actually medical! lol

He's hypoglycemic.....you get use to the diet and learn how to substitute but sometimes when you aren't in the mood to really think hard about cooking...it's frustrating!

when we go out to eat...i'm the fatty....fries...bread....beer....I'm like the man LOL
