As I've told you guys last week, I'm trying to eat low carb meals now. So I thought I would share some of the recipes and meals that I make in case you want some inspiration.
This dinner consisted of a fish fillet (whiting), shrimp, seafood salad and sugar snap peas and mushrooms.
I make my own seafood salad and you can find the recipe here. I use imitation crab meat because I like it and it's cheaper but you can of course use real crab meat for this.
I cooked the whiting fish filet in a little butter and seafood spices and lemon. I did the same with the shrimp.
For the mushrooms and sugar snap peas I sautéed the sliced mushrooms in a little olive oil first and then added the peas and let them cooked for about 10 minutes or until a little tender. I like them a little more done and tender but they were still crunchy and they are sweet. They are so good. This is the first time I've tried them and I really like them.
As you can tell, I really like seafood. But even if you don't, I would still try the sugar snap peas and mushrooms because they are so good.
Would you try this for a meal?
Oh and I got good news this week when my doctor came out to see me. In just two weeks I've decreased my blood sugar numbers from 350 to 229 by eating a low carb diet. My blood pressure is down from 197/101 to 147/91 and all I've done is cut the processed food and cut my salt intake. I have a ways to go but this is a start.
It looks quite good!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I enjoyed it.
DeleteWell done on the health front. That is huge improvement in a very short time.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's nice to see a reward for my effort.
DeleteWell done!! Processed food is really to blame for most ailments. That and sugar are tough to avoid, so you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteGood job! I’ve been cutting out butter and replacing it with olive oil.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea.
DeleteThat does look good. Glad you've gotten your blood sugar down, sadly I have to use insulin for that, but my pancreas stopped making insulin years ago.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that.
DeleteCongratulations on getting the numbers down! I would try it! I love seafood too.
ReplyDeleteThank you. My daughter likes it too thankfully.
DeleteI love crab salad and your fish and vegetables look delicious, too. Way to go getting your BP and Sugar down.
ReplyDeleteThank you. This was so good.
DeleteThat's fabulous! And in two weeks. This looks really good. I'm becoming quite a fan of mushrooms too...
ReplyDeleteI love mushrooms. I even have them in eggs in the morning.
DeleteI never used to like mushrooms but now I want them on everything, espcially pizza
DeleteI love mushrooms. I've been using so many of them.
DeleteThe low carb meals you make always look so good. And yay for you for getting healthier! :D
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteGreat numbers. The diet change sure seems to be working. Health is so important.
ReplyDeleteThe diet change really helped. Thank you.
DeleteWould I try that for a meal? Hells yeah! Looks and sounds delicious and I just jumped over and bookmarked your seafood salad recipe.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteI love snap peas! I cook them in a little garlic, oil and a tiny bit of butter at the end. I mostly eat salmon but just had shrimp the other day. I love scallops top but they are so expensive right now.

Some seafood is more expensive than others.
DeleteI actually like the imitation crab for salads better than the real thing. For some reason the real stuff tastes a little too rich for me in a salad. The meal looks delicious and I'd like to try that snap pea recipe. I've never made them at home. You've made some excellent progress with your diet, Mary! That's so awesome! I'm cheering you on!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. It was hard at first because I really like sweets and all the other stuff that's bad for me. lol But I've found some excellent recipes to make up for that.
DeleteI personally don't like fish, but my husband loves all seafood. He'd like this. He was on keto diet for awhile and if he ever goes back to it, I'm sure this would be a staple in his dinner menu.
ReplyDeleteThat's good.
DeleteThis looks awesome! I love all things seafood.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I love seafood too.
DeleteI love seafood. 🐟🦀🐟
