What about Tempeh? Do you like that at all?

Squashes and mushrooms are on the OK list and they are all easy to prepare. I found a couple of recipes both here (click on Low Carb Recipes above) and at another site http://www.carb-lite.au.com/index.html that were quick and easy.

They have come out with low carb versions of pasta-I am not sure how they taste or anything, but even at my local Kroger's they have low carb versions of many foods. You might have to switch off with hubby on the cooking duties. This way of eating does require more advance planning, especially for vegetarians.
