Mushroom Plum and Chicken Skewers - BHG Diabetic Friendly




Mmmmm these were sooo yummy! You have to try this recipe before summer is gone.

(One tip might be to do them over tin foil or something similar so that the skewers don't burn!)

BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches - BHG Diabetic Friendly

I know, I know there is no picture! But I'm sure you all know what BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches look like...and they were just too tasty to wait for a picture :P. But wait...what have we here? Leftovers! Yay! we are about to eat this for lunch so before it was gone I snapped up a pic.
Yes these are REALLY good - they were rated 4/5 because I overcooked the pork a little lol.
 

BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches

2 med onions cut into thin wedges
1/2 c. water
2-2 1/2 lbs boneless pork sirloin roast
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 c. low calorie bbq sauce
1/4 c. cider vinegar
1 Tbsp honey
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cumin
10 hamburger buns

In 3 1/2 - 4 qt slow cooker combine onions and water; set aside. Trim fat from meat. If necessary cut to fit into slow cooker. In a small bowl combine chili powder, pepper, cumin, garlic powder. Sprinkle over meat and rub in. Place meat in cooker.

Cover and cook on low heat 8-9 hours or high heat 4-4.5 hours.

Menu Plan Monday - August 29th - Pepperoni Casserole

Hello, hello! I did pretty well with accomplishing my menu plan last week and am looking forward to posting the recipes that we enjoyed. I've also begun to rate my dishes out of 5! I just find that I try so many recipes and I used to just put a star to know that I've tried it and enjoyed it, but with the new system if it only got 3.5 stars for example I can consider ways to make it better whereas 4.5/5 stars...don't touch!

Menu Plan Monday - August 22nd - BHG Diabetic Recipes Pt. 2

So last week I did pretty good with my meal plan. The Grilled Greek Chicken Sandwiches and Layered Southwestern Salad were a hit. I didn't end up making the Chicken with Cornmeal Dumplings, instead I did Ginger Lime Chicken Fingers and I'm a little confused about why I would think ginger and lime are good together...I didn't like them. And I didn't end up getting beef to make the stew so we'll save that recipe for fall.
I'm trying a few other new recipes this week from the same book...
