My endocrinologist diagnosed me with polycystic ovarian syndrome and started me on glucophage. I find that the meds have helped tremendously with carb cravings and my appetite in general. Still, I like my carbs. Since the doctor suggested I drop my carb habit, I've been working on finding recipes that fit my health needs while satisfying me.
I found that I really missed crackers and couldn't find a good low carb cracker on the store shelves. I came across a low carb cheese cracker recipe that tastes very much like your regular carby cheese cracker and is very easy to make. The recipe is very simple - cut up a slice of Kraft deluxe American slices into 16 squares, put the squares in a big circle on a piece of parchment paper and microwave until they are a bit brown. The slices should form a circle, don't put any in the middle of your circle. Peel off paper, let them cool a minute or two, and enjoy carb free crackers.
I made this recipe for delicious cauliflower soup tonight, to bring for lunches next week. It really does taste like potato soup. Nice creamy texture. I've made it three times, twice with great success, once I used too much broth and it was runny. I ended up having success with a whole chopped head of cauliflower and two cups of broth. Err on the side of less liquid, you can always add more in when you purée it.
