I learned something new this week about making spaghetti. Instead of using pasta with your spaghetti sauce, use broccoli slaw. This is so easy. Slowly stir fry the broccoli slaw in a little bit of olive oil until tender. I made the sauce adding bell pepper, onion, garlic, portabello mushrooms and meatballs and all the spices. I spooned the sauce over the broccoli slaw stir fry, took a bite and thought I was in heaven. I got a lot of veggies and and the correct amount of protein this way. It is no fun being diabetic, so having something that tastes really good is a definate plus. I didn't miss the pasta one bit.

Wow that sounds awesome! I am diabetic also and have a real problem with spaghetti because my hubby wants it at least once a week. I do make homemade so I can control the ingredients but am definitely going to try the broccoli slaw!

I recently was taken off my diabetic meds. I have lost over 65 pounds. I had the lap band surgery and I am doing really well with it. Prior to the surgery, to increase protien and lower carb intake, I switch to whole wheat pasta. I don't care for the spaghetti or macoroni, but the angel hair is awesome.
I can't wait to try the slaw, that sounds fantastic.

I have lost 50 and need to lose 7+ to get under 200 pounds. I can't wait to get under 200 lbs. I am setting reasonable goals, I am eating right and exercising. Had a knee replacement so the exercising isn't where it needs to be, but it has only been 3 months since my surgery.
