Topic: RE: Lauries low carb meatballs

Sure, here it is:  My husband found it in our local newspaper and it's the only one he uses now.  We makes huge batches of it and process it in quart jars, so we can have some for months.

Homemade Marinara Sauce: very WLS friendly

   2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil

   1 cup brown onion, chopped

   1 cup mushrooms, sliced

   3-6 cloves minced garlic

   1  28.5 oz. can crushed tomatoes

   1  14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes

   ½ tsp dried oregano

   ½ tsp dried basil

   ¼ tsp salt

   ¼ tsp black pepper

   1 tsp sugar

   Garnish with sprig of fresh basil

Saute onions and mushrooms, sprinkle with a little salt.  Cook over medium low heat for five minutes.  Add garlic and cook for about a minute.

Dump in cans of tomatoes and herbs, salt and pepper.  Bring to a simmer and cook for 25 minutes.

Add sugar to counter some of the acidity.  Cook for 5 minutes. 

Optional: add sausage and/or black olives to the mix.

Topic: RE: Tuna noodle casserole

This recipe looks just like what I made "in my previous life".  I'm 7 months out with my RNY.  I cannot have egg/flour noodles, flour, or peas...all 3 items are too high in carbs.

Topic: RE: Tuna noodle casserole

I use Fiber Gourmet noodles- they are not low car, but lower carb comparatively speaking. A little extra protein also. I was always Ok with this during my wls surgery period once in a while, and I would ensure I would balance the carbs out for the day. I also didn't go crazy with the noodles.
