That sounds good. I had baked chicken and mashed potatoes. I'm soon going to fix a bowl of cream of rice and an egg wrap to take for lunch tomorrow. Found a cool recipe I'd love to try.

That recipe looks really tasty Linda, but my Diabetes won't let me eat the strawberries although I love them, but I suppose I can always put Blueberries there instead.

Today its Beef Steak, R. Potatoes, Greens & Carrots.

Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.

Yep, blueberries would work. Although I've heard all berries are okay for diabetics, as long as you don't eat too much of them. Is there a difference between blueberries and strawberries?

Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.

I don't know Linda, they say eat Blueberries for Diabetes as its very good for Diabetics, whereas Strawberries contain a lot of sugar.

Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.

You had me worried there Susiejaeger when you said you could not eat strawberries because of your diabetes as we have had a few strawberries the last few weeks and hubby was eating them.

I have looked it up and this is the comment that comes up -
strawberries and most other berries tend to contain less carbohydrates per serving and constitute excellent fruit options for all diabetics.

Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.

Well, all fruit contains sugar, even if they're natural sugars. I looked it up and one cup of strawberries contains 7 grams of sugar. One cup of blueberries contains 15 grams of sugar.

Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.

Really 15 grams of sugar, I won't be buying blueberries then.

Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.

Looks like you're better off with the strawberries after all. But you also have to think about how many blueberries you eat at a time. Like if you just sprinkle on a small handful, maybe 1/4 cup, that's less than 4 grams of sugar.

Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.

Yes you're Linda.

We just had Roast Pork with stuffing and vegs. for dinner, it was lovely.
