    This "Sassy Water" was originally found in a book called The Flat Belly Diet - I found it on Pinterest! The lemon boosts your metabolism, stabilizes your blood sugar levels, and acts as a natural dietetic. The ginger is for bloating and water retention, and it boosts yo

    I came across this recipe on Pinterest, and I am in love! I found several versions - kalynskitchen.com, snackinginthekitchen.com, and cheeseslave.com. So, as usual, I had to play with the recipe - of course I made some changes. I tried it first in regular muffin pans wi

    Yesterday was my birthday, and so I was looking around online for a low carb birthday cake. While I did find a few, they all used artificial sweeteners and since I am still experiencing a headache from the Yogurt Bites I made the other day with yogurt sweetened with Splend

    I was looking for something to make with chicken soup and the low carb cracker recipe I found on DiabetesForum.com used Almonds, which I cannot due to an allergy. So I played with it a bit and made some no-carb crackers - and they taste great! The only thing is, I did no

What's for Lunch Today? Ham Sandwich!

Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | 1:35 PM | 1 comments

What's for Lunch today?I get tired of cooking and baking all the time, and it's been so long since I had a simple sandwich.

So today I decided to have a ham and cheese sandwich!

First I made a Flaxseed Lunch Bun - takes 2 minutes in the microwave. (5 g carbs/14 g fat)

After letting it cool enough to handle, I buttered (0 g carbs/11 g fat) the English Muffin, added a slice of Havarti cheese (0 g carbs/7 g fat), a slice of deli ham (0 g carbs/1 g fat) and torn up lettuce (0/0).

Wished I had some mayonnaise to add, but it had expired. However that would have added 3 g carbs. So maybe it was just as well.

Add in a slice of pickle and three sour onions for 1 more carb total.

So my ham and cheese sandwich came in at a total of 6 grams of Net carbs and 33 grams of fat. Well under my 10 carbs per meal limit! Oh, and my sandwich was delicious!

TOTAL NET CARBS: 6 grams
TOTAL FAT: 33 grams
