When my husband ws alive, we ate the same meaatls with a few additions or
slight differences. For examle, I might make rice or noodles for him to
put under some wet cooked food which i would et sans starch, like my
chinese meals. If we had meat, vegetable and tiny potatoes, I would have
1-2 tiny potatoes adn he would have 5 ro 6. I kept chocolate chip cookies
in the house which he "hid" out of my sight and mind, so he coul dhave one
or two of an evening. I always had is fvorite, rye bread, in the house nd
he would get that with a meal or ue it asa base for a dish with gravy,
etc. At breakfast he would have cold cereall wth half a banan and soem
berries and I would have cottage cheese with teh berries and some yogurt.
If we had eggs, he would get regular toast, bread or muffin adn I woudl
have Wasa Cracker or low carb bread(Pepperidge Farms s5 gr. of carb
stuff) He got regular jamand I used my home made no sugar added jams.

When the kids come over I havae both breead and Wasa crackers on the
table, and several dishes some with and some low carb so each can choose
which suits.

At Thanksgiving I make low carrb dressing (lots of vegetables adn low carb
bread with plenty of portobello mushroom chunks) , no sugar cranberry
sauce, vegetables, like plainbroccoli, which my grandkids like, pumkin
pie with artificial sweetener adn a nut crust, one crust(top) ale pie or
cobbler with teh apose sweetened with artificial sweetener and a bigh
starchy dish I avoid, but the others like.
