Spicy Diabetes

Fish is one of the best things for a diabetic diet.  Really it's a good thing for just about everyone's diet.  This is an easy and quick thing you can put into your rotation to get more fish into your diet, and even made with canned salmon it's pretty good.  Of course you can use fresh salmon (it's a good use for leftover fish from the day before), but more often than not, just because of easy availability, I use canned and it works out great. Notes: As with a lot of my recipes, I use some ingredients that ultra-low carb people will tell you that you can't have.  Everyone responds differently, just adjust for you.  The little bit of bread crumbs in this don't bother me much. I like to use egg rings to keep them uniformly sized and shaped.  Just spray them with a bit of cooking spray or brush them with some of your cooking oil first, salmon is basically all protein, and will stick to them!  If you don't have egg rings, just form them into patties, they...

Yesterday I made Chile Verde , and after trimming a big pork roast down to usable cubed pork, I ended up with probably close to a pound of trimmings.  We can't be letting that go to waste, so it's time to get the meat grinder out, grind it up, mix it with some ground beef (also from scraps that I had in the freezer waiting to be ground, and make a meatloaf.  Or you could of course just buy a pound each of ground pork and ground beef.

Need something quick and easy to take with you on the run to work for the next couple days?  Give these egg muffin cups a try.  They're super low-carb, and dead simple to make.  It's basically just like making a frittata or Spanish tortilla but baked in a muffin pan for single grab-and-go servings.
