[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Re: Crockpot Chicken Chile Verde - 15.9g Carbs, 7.4g Fiber, 3.1g Sugars

 

Maybe the person who created the recipe likes using both cuts of chicken.

Personally I like using split breasts, no skin on, to use for all my basic chicken soup starts. I like to keep split breasts in the freezer so I can just toss in a pot of water, bring to a boil, then simmer and begin to cook them. Depending on the chicken it self (I always try to get organic - no junk added chicken)! As you may know some chicken is so huge and has so much added it takes longer to cook it till tender! When I begin my soup base I put the chicken in with onion powder, garlic powder, and celery powder. Then I can create whatever soup I want.

Sorry it took so long to reply, my health seems to be declining over time.

Take care,
Gloria

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Re: Crockpot Chicken Chile Verde - 15.9g Carbs, 7.4g Fiber, 3.1g Sugars

 

Why does this recipe call for "bone-in" thighs, while at the same time calling for "boneless/skinless" breasts?  And does it really matter?  Maybe the breasts wouldn't have time to get to the same tenderness as the thighs, if they were also "bone-in".  ??  Just curious & making sure that it would matter.  ??    Thanks!

In Reply To: [epilepsy] Re: Are their special-devices, that alert us?

This is Incridable Exciting-news!
many can benifit from this:
Thank you...

I am waiting for the release of the embrace watch. Originally it was being designed for non-verbal people with autism, The researchers were hoping to find a way to watch determine levels so that someone could intercede before a child had a melt down. During their research, one of the test subjects had a seizure and the alerts went off. (About 30%-40% of people with autism also have epilepsy.) With that development the researchers moved the focus of their research to epilepsy. The embrace watch monitors the autonomic nervous system and body. When the wearer has a seizure it transmits a message to up to 5 cell phones "Timmy needs help". The watch also logs all of the different types of information that a standard fit bit type device does. So you can pull up the information on your computer and see how well the wearer is sleeping etc. You can look for patterns to see when seizures are occurring. If they occur under stress, you can set the watch to alarm when stress reaches a level that you set and the watch will vibrate when the wearer reaches that level of stress, cuing the wearer to take a break and try to calm down. While originally expected to ship in July, the company has moved the shipment date to January. I am planning to purchase one for my son so that for the first time in his life he might have some level of independence. If you are interested there are various You Tube videos about the watch. A local epilepsy charity in our area has ordered 12 of the watches. To learn more check out the You tube videos on the embrace watch.

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Grilled Moroccan Chicken - 3g Carbs, 1g Fiber, 1g Sugar

 

Grilled Moroccan Chicken - 3g Carbs, 1g Fiber, 1g Sugar

From: www.onceuponachef.com - By Jennifer Segal
Servings: 4

1 1/2 to 1 3/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (or chicken tenderloins)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp coriander
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Place chicken breasts between 2 pieces of wax or parchment paper and, using a meat mallet, pound to an even 1/2-inch thickness. (Skip this step if substituting chicken tenderloins.)

Mix all ingredients except chicken together in a small bowl or measuring cup. Place pounded chicken breasts inside 1 gallon zip-lock bag. Add marinade to the bag, press air out and seal shut. Massage marinade into the breasts until evenly coated. Place the bag in a bowl in the refrigerator (to protect against leakage), and let the chicken marinate for 5-6 hours.

Clean grill and preheat to high. Place chicken breasts on grill, spooning marinade over top. Grill, covered, for 2-3 minutes per side. Do not overcook.

Servings: 4

[fast5] Oatmeal muffins recipe - Robert E Kowalski

 

If this is something you are interested in, perhaps have a look at Kowalski's book. It has worked for me - keeping LDL in balance with HDL for nearly 15 years 
 

o...k you sitting comfortably?
 
Cholesterol-fighting Banana nut muffins 
Shopping list
 
Oatmeal
Brown sugar
Baking powder
walnuts
eggs
oil
skimmed or semi milk
Bananas
 
12 muffin tin - ( you need to eat 3 muffins x day)
paper liners
Large mixing bowl
small mixing bowl
measuring spoons
fork
knife
large spoon
dry measuring cups
fluid measuring cup
  
Middle shelf oven      on to 175deg Celsius
 
In large bowl mix together 
4 cups oatmeal    'Quaker Oats' is best, I think.
1 heaping tablespoon baking powder
1/4 cup dark brown sugar (also heaping...it is only 1/4 cup for 4 days worth)
1/4 cup walnut pieces - be generous
2 chunked up bananas   the more ripe the better*
(I usually add a handful of dried cranberries but you will need to add a scoosh more milk; they are not part of the original recipe)
 
whisk in smaller bowl - then add to dry mix
2 egg whites  (can freeze yolks - my cat likes one sometimes)
2 tbsps corn oil      - or other cooking oil
 
add milk    Uuummmmm forgot exactly how much :-? thinking - maybe 12-13 fl ozs.?/ 400ish ml
 
Now add wet to dry   
mix around 'til sugar & baking powder mixed in
 
Line
12-muffin tin with paperliners & spoon in; they'll not rise much.
Mix should need a bit of a push off spoon to drop into liner
 
Bake for 20 minutes - so they'll just start to get brown on top
 
They freeze brilliantly but make sure you let 'em cool totally before 'peeling' and eating as they'll stick to liner. Microwave from frozen for about 50 sec in morning; they do taste better slightly warmed so appx 20-30 secs any other time.
 
The author of these muffins also added apple instead of banana but I remain unimpressed with that. A handful of blueberries or raspberries works great too when they have just gone to mush but it is the banana/walnut/oatmeal that does the  cholesterol 'scouring'.
 
When not Fast - 5-ing, I find that one in the a.m. keeps me going 'til the one at lunch... or 15.00 slump; also I'll have last one at night to keep me from chomping down something with more calories. When I am fasting, I suggest breaking your fast with a muffin or two. They are easily digestible and keep you 'powered up' for longer - without sugar highs & lows.
 
ps   bananas ostensibly help with sleep so you can eat them later
 
*may be the hardest part of this - remembering to get bananas in advance bcs the older/softer they are the better in this recipe
 
Happy baking.
