LATE NIGHT SNACK

LATE NIGHT SNACK

 

I got out crunchy peanut buttery

Toast before being utterly…

Famished at home

While reading a tome,

So the tummy would stop its muttering!  🙂

QUICK SNACK

QUICK SNACK

 

Peanut butter crackers taste

Like something eaten with haste…

When blood sugar gets real low,

Potato chips are the wrong way to go!

Sugar is fine if just a little,

Don’t want to turn diabetes brittle…

Protein burns slower than starch and fat,

Edema swells with that salty crap!

Carrots are great but go through quick,

Protein like cheese is a useful trick…

Amazing what turns up from long ago,

Protein–said my Dad–is the way to go!

He said it in a letter my wife just found,

He passed away–ten years in the ground…

My brother then was talking to me

And told my Dad ’bout my peanuts and candy.

So up from the past, a nutrition trick,

Avoiding high sugars and getting sick…

Peanut cracker sandwiches will do just fine

If I don’t consume more than a package at a time!

GOING VEGAN A LITTLE

GOING VEGAN…A LITTLE

Cinamon and beans, what a treat*
That helps blood sugar levels when you eat…
Though “BEANO” is involved
If friends are resolved
To let you in only if you smell sweet.

I’m trying couscous in a special mix,
To eat as lunch amounts I over-fixed…
Garlic and ginger, fine,
Raisins and some thyme,
All sorts of things one does for cooking tricks!

Some pieces of spaghetti went astray
Finding themselves in Vegan interplay…
When they asked, “where’s the meat?”
Protein was made complete,
Combining nutrients another way.

*Cinnamon has been proven to help improve blood sugar levels.
BEANO is a popular commercial product for controlling digestive gas production, through the use of enzyme action.
