BAKED TOMATOES WITH QUINOA, CORN AND GREEN CHILIES
This came from a Cooking Light magazine and we liked it a lot. It is excellent for somebody with diabetes (like me) because it only has 46.3 g of carbs and 8.8 g fiber as well as 13.4 g protein. I always look for recipes with loits of figer and low carbs. THis one is a little higher in carbs but since it has over4 5 g of fiber4 I can take away 2.5 g of carbs so it's not so badl It really tastes good too and my family likes it as well. I made a nice green salad to go with it.
