Finally tried Dreamfields pasta over the weekend. I was impressed, I couldn't detect any differences between it and regular pasta as far as taste and texture goes. It even passed the Sicilian mother-in-law test.

Best part was after a big bowl of the stuff (with my wife's carbonara sauce), my 2-hour post-prandial was 123.

Life is good, I no longer have to feel guilty about eating pasta.

Yep, its really good stuff! If you check out their website, they often have $1.00 off coupons available. Glad you had a good experience with it as well.

I'm planning a trip South this summer, and I'm planning on bring back a case or two

I'm looking forward to testing Dreamfields pasta. From what I've read about it, I'm thrilled about this product. Here's some info for those interested:

Now I'm waiting for this technology to produce a good, low-carb pizza. That's probably the only food that makes me shed a tear knowing I can't eat it....well, I can eat a small slice or two, but pizza's one of those foods where it's not much fun to only eat one or two slices.

Good luck finding that one! I've tried the S. Beach pizzas...and would just as soon do without....the crusts (IMO) are NASTY.

When I crave pizza, I get a low-carb tortilla (usu. Mission Brand from Walmart) and crisp it in a skillet with a little olive, put it on a cookie sheet, add a little sauce, veggies, meat and cheese and broil until cheese is melted....not bad at all!

Try Gino's East deep dish, leave the crust behind. Works well for me.

Love dreamfields....so good. (droooooling)

Another pizza alternative is pita pocket pizzas. Cut a whole wheat pita in half and open each half into a pocket. Fill with sauce, cheese, and veggies, and microwave until melted. Yummy, and they don't mess with my BGs the way that real pizza does

Why wait? Amazon (and other online retailers) carry it.

Thread Jack! Try this and see if it works for you! I make this alot!
Pizza with a "crust"
Ingredients: Ground Hamburger (Raw) for crust.

Favorite Pizza toppings like
3/4 cup bell peppers
1/2 cup chopped black olives
2 large Portabello mushrooms chopped
Pepperoni/sausage
1 1/2 cup packaged shredded cheese
How To Prepare:
Press Hamburger into the bottom of any Pizza pan or baking pan, ( leave a little thick because the hamburger will shrink with cooking.
Place in oven at 400' and bake until cooked (remove to drain off grease.) Then spread with your favorite spagetti sauce (I use low carb) and top with stuff~!
Bake until cheese is melted.

Ive also seen a recipe where the "crust" is egg whites mixed with parmasan cheese and baked, then topped with cheese and toppings. Havent tried this yet.

I've seen this done with chicken as well, but never tried it. Do you find the burger crust to be "greasy?"

I tell you what I do if Im not pressed for time and that is to remove the crust onto a stack of paper towels and let it rest for 30 mins or more. All of that oil leaves and it is firmer so you can actually pick up slices when it leaves the oven topped with goodies. Other wise I do it in a hurry and we eat it with a fork if the crust is too flexible...if that makes sense.

That might be a problem for me. I love the crust from Gino's East (and Lou Malnati's). I might be tempted. I haven't eaten there since being diagnosed in July, but every time I drive by the restaurant I begin to drool.

Okay, I finally tried Dreamfields pasta. It tastes the same as "standard" pasta and my blood glucose numbers were fine. It's a great product. Thanks to this forum for bringing it to my attention.
