I was talking about stir-fried okra this morning in the chat room, and thought I'd see if my favorite recipe was available online, and I found it in a low carb recipe forum!

I am making a pesto sauce that I add almonds to. You could also add pine nuts. My pasta I add it to is about half steamed broccoli and a pasta made with chia seeds. Kind of like sneaking protein in there and the veggies make it not so high in carbs.
Hey Diabetic Foodies!
New to TuDiabetes and this group in particular. Excited about sharing our passion about how food can be delicious and diabetic appropriate.
As a side note, I cook for two people. (Myself and my partner)but as we all know recipes can be springboarded or increased to fit your particular needs. :)
Here's my plan for tonight's dinner:

Dressing for Salad Amount Optional
Estiamted Static Carb: 59

Cook 1 lb. Bacon (Dont worry...reduces to 5 oz :) )
Set aside.
Make a roux with 2 T of Butter and 2 T of flour.
Incorporate 3 C Bouillon of your choice. (I go with beef)
Whisk heavily to incorporate roux.
When liquid is lightly thickened incorporate rinsed black beans. (I use a 30 oz can)
