Bed time snacks

My doctor tells me that it is good for my blood glucose levels to have a bed time snack that is high in protein. I do not always do so.
Tonight I am snacking on crackers spread with tarragon/lemon chicken spread.
It was to be made into a log rolled into toasted pecans. I overtoasted my pecans a bit, so the dish has a slightly smokey flavor.
This also has cream cheese and cheddar for a base, with canned chicken breast and a few othe seasonings. It is very tasty. Having it prepared makes it easier to have an evening snack.

If I was eating alone at night often I would have a big bowl of tortilla chips and salsa.

Sounds yummy! We went out for dinner so I will have no food before bed.

@GardenGerty Mine too, I try not to pack in to many carbs, but they always have pie, pie is what will kill me.

@andriaperry It is not so much the filling as the crust that is bound to raise blood glucose for me.

@Hatley That is about all you can do, once you are out of balance.

I always like having things that are easy and not complicated to make. Your chicken spread sounds tasty and a good snack rather than the standard cookies, chips or ice cream

I try to make sure that what I eat is quality, but sometimes I really need a change.

@GardenGerty Yes for sure eating on the straight and narrow can get a tad old.

My go too lately for protein is always Peanut Butter. Anytime I am starting to feel Low or just when I feel I need a good snack with some protein in it.

It is quite likely that you have something just as good or better.

@GardenGerty Thank you, this is something I love to do, I do not need to invite people to prepare something like this, I also do for my husband and I only.

That sounds delicious. I'll bet it would make a great cheeseball at holiday time.

It would. When presented at the herb class she rolled it into logs. Crusted with toasted pecans.
