eggplant “lasagna”

A low-carb "lasagna" made with eggplant, ground beef, cheese, and tomato sauce.
The people at church usually hate the healthy food I cook, but this dish was demolished. Definitely a winner.

November 3 2007 day 23 – Baking while being diabetic
Image by DeathByBokeh
Today marks the last day of the weekly focus topic of Food in the Diabetes 365 project. The biggest challenge for a diabetic is food, because what a diabetic consumes directly and immediately impacts blood sugars. We are fortunate that we live in a time where we can continue to indulge in tasty treats while watching our carbs. The advent of sugar-free syrups, low carb. flours, low/non fat cream cheese and other healthy low fat and low carb. ingredients have made it easier for diabetics to concoct tasty treats that rival the original recipe.
I embarked on a baking spree today. I’m trying two new recipes. I’m experimenting with a low fat mocha cheesecake, and I’m also trying to concoct low carb. pumpkin cake. How did they turn out?I don’t know. The cheesecake just came out of the oven, and is cooling down before it goes into the refrigerator. The pumpkin cake is now in the oven, hopefully rising.
I’m just glad that I have the ability to procure the ingredients and try these recipes. Here’s the irony: It is cheaper to eat high carb., high fat foods than it is to lead a healthy lifestyle with a healthy diet. This is another sad aspect of diabetes. It is not a poor man’s disease.
There is no cure for diabetes, yet.
Veal w/ Asparagus & Mushrooms
Image by lynn.gardner
Used the recipe for "Veal with Asparagus from Betty Crocker’s Low-Carb Lifestyle Cookbook — one of those sad, neglected cookbooks no-one has borrowed from the library since the low-carb craze died down.
Ingredients: veal scaloppini, asparagus, cremini mushrooms, garlic, shallots, thyme, white wine, olive oil.
While I had high hopes for this dish, we mostly just found it "okay." While the vegetables were perfect, the veal seemed overcooked and the whole dish was a bit bland. If I were to make this again, I would cook the veal less, double the garlic, shallots, and thyme and include liberal amounts of fresh ground salt and pepper. (I might also skip using veal and go with turkey or chicken cutlets).

Note: Both of these recipes call for fresh lime juice. Please consider squeezing actual limes. There really is a difference in flavor between real fresh limes and the fake stuff. There are lime/lemon squeezing tools available which make the task a snap. If you squeeze more than a couple of limes/lemons a year, it’s well worth the small investment to get one.
Lindemann’s Gingernut Tea (left)
4 parts ginger ale
3 parts macadamia nut liqueur (see substitution note below)
2 parts coconut rum
fresh lime juice (1/4 – 1/2 lime per serving, to taste)
Mix ingredients in a separate glass or container, then pour over crushed ice in a tall glass.
Do not skip the crushed ice. The ice smoothes and brightens the flavor, as well as keeping the drink from being too sweet or syrupy. If you have to use regular ice cubes, let the drink sit for awhile to let the ice melt a little, then stir and enjoy.
Note: It has been brought to my attention that the miracle of macadamia nut liqueur is not available in the UK (elsewhere, I don’t know). I mixed up a glass with hazelnut liqueur (which is available in the UK), and it is definitely different, but tasty in its own right. It has a bitter note to it, that makes the nut flavor stand out more, which might be just fine, depending on what you like. The macadamia, on the other hand, is extremely smooth, and blends right into the other flavors to create a refreshing iced tea taste. I would definitely not suggest using a sweet nut liqueur, like almond (Amaretto, etc.). I haven’t actually tried that, but I think almond would just make this overpoweringly sweet. You’d have to cut it with so much ginger ale and ice, that it would hardly qualify as a real drink.
Tropical Depression (right)
(by the pitcherful: about 4 – 5 tall glasses)
6 c. orange juice
1-1/2 c. passion fruit rum
1 c. coconut rum
1 c. red soda pop (Big Red, Faygo Red Pop, etc.)
fresh lime juice (1/4 – 1/2 lime per serving, to taste… there are 3 limes in the pitcher in the photo)
Mix ingredients and serve with ice (crushed or cubed).
When I make this by the glass, I just eyeball the amounts. The amounts listed above are exactly what I put in the pitcher in this photo, and it’s pretty much dead on.
This is, essentially, a faux hurricane, but without the cloying sweetness and artificiality of the mixes. Even the best of the mixes (say, Pat O’Briens) is full of dyes and nasty, syrupy gunk. This is light and fruity and yummy, and it won’t leave you feeling like you’ve been sucking on alcoholic sno-cones all day.

A recipe for an old college drink. Tasted like a milkshake… filled with alcohol. I think Kris was the documenter.
