I have a dish like that sometimes. It is great to have a big batch for DH to reheat for a meal when I am at work, also. I frequently add some frozen french sliced green beans ( thier shape fits in nicely the ww spaghetti and you can boil them together--time saver) then throw ins som leftover cooked chicken or beef and it is a totally balanced/easy meal. I agree with AmieK about the man made carbs & am glad that Dr. S recognizes the sometimes need for convenience!

That is what I like about TSP it can be easy and you do not need distorted /difficult recipes-- or one can if they chose. I do try to add extra low glycemic vegetables whenever I can to any dish. I read a book titled -- I believe 'Volumetrics'-- that suggested that idea along with it being a very important /good part of TSP. I try to incorprate that idea.

The meal I have the most difficulty with accomplishing that is breakfast, unless I am hungry enough for an omlet.
