such as a Caesar.
Only 14 CARBS.

Yield: 8 servings

Book info: http://tgcmagazine.com/bin/track/click.cgi?id=42

INGREDIENTS

- 1 cup shredded Mexican Chihuahua, Monterey Jack,
Pepper Jack, or brick cheese
- 1 green onion, minced
- 1-3 tablespoons canned chopped green chilies (to taste)
- 4 8-inch flour tortillas
- Chunky salsa, for topping or dip

DIRECTIONS

In a medium bowl, toss together the cheese,
green onion, and chilies; set aside.

Spray a medium skillet with nonstick cooking spray and
place over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tortilla and sprinkle
it with one-fourth of the cheese mixture. When the cheese
begins to melt, about 1 minute, fold the tortilla in half.
Continue cooking until lightly browned and crisp on both
sides, about 1 minute. Transfer to a cutting board. Repeat
with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Cut into 4 wedges with a knife or pizza cutter
and serve immediately with the salsa.

Let's see. Each serving will include 1/2 of one 8-inch tortilla, 1/8
cup cheese, 1/8 of a scallion, and less than 1 teaspoon chilies.

That's maybe three bites of appetizer -- at almost 5 grams of carb per
bite. What's for the entree? It better not have too many carbs in it.

Hi Priscilla

I'm not even buying into carb counts on this one. Over here, we don't
feel there's enough meat on a Mexican Chihuahua to make it worth the
effort.

Although some of our recent immigrants from SE Asia have assisted in
reducing the local canine population via the cook-pot, so I may be wrong
there.

Even so, shredding seems a bit rough.

Cmon all:

Every time a message with a recipe from the book in quetsion is posted,
a link appears which takes you to amazon.com's page about the book. The
path to the page indicates a referral via tcgmagazine.com which then
presumably gets credited by amazon in some form for directing an inquiry
to them.

What could one's motivation be in posting these?

I hadn't clicked the URL but thanks for the heads up. How do you tell it
was that type of link. I'd like to be aware of it in other ng's I post to.

It is a connection to The Gourmet Connection Magazine. If you visit the
site, which is backed by the ADA, you will find a number of inclused
sites to healthy eating.

When you can easily have 200 carbs according to the ADA per day and more
depending upon your exercise level why would you be concerned about 14
meager carbs.

LOL! I didn't catch that (obviously).

Hey, I'll bet my cats would like that. And there's a yappy long haired
Chihuahua down the street who gets loose from time to time and comes up
to yap yap yap at my house. Hmmm.

Really? You know how much Priscilla weighs? You know her height and
activity level? Hot damn! You must be a psychic! I am on the ADA diet and
I can't have 200 g of carbs per day. Please go away you idiot. We don't
need your dispensing dangerous advice that newbies might fall for.

Yes, I also receive that newsletter, and I notice that there is a copyright
at the bottom of it. I wonder if the people at Diabetic Gourmet Magazine
mind you posting the recipe without their disclaimers, advertising and
copyright?

Priscilla doesn't even know how much Priscilla weighs! LOL! I don't
own a scale and weigh myself in my doctor's office. I eat to my meter.

I don't own a scale either. I just know when I was first diagnosed, a
dietician told me how many calories per day I should be eating and how those
should be broken down. She pretty well nailed down how many carbs I should
be eating, although I gather I am a rarity. And the rest of the diet worked
for a little while. But I eventually had to increase the amount of protein,
fat and calories I was eating by just a little bit. The weight loss then
continued once I made those adjustments. For anyone to say that everyone
should eat 200 g of carbs per day is just ludicrous!

You can't always tell. But the words "click.cgi?id=32" made me
suspicious that someone was counting clicks coming from a specific
id.... I didn't know it'd take me to amazon - I tried it. I'm sure there
are ways of hiding this so I wouldn't be suspicious another time. If you
click on somenthing an find it to be spam, one way to fight it is to
disseminate the info - as I am doing - so others won't click and it will
then be less profitable to spam these groups....
