You can sub rice with riced cauliflower.
From Trader Joe's bag

1 cup:
calories: 27 KCal
carbs: 8 grams
fiber: 2.7 grams
glycemic load: 4 (estimated from frozen cauliflower)

The trick is to cook it slightly chewy.


Here are pizza crust recites, but I have never tried them
(I just do fried cheese pizzas):

There is more to judging food than just the calories. You must
include the nutrients in each item.

The cRowder pea is a good source of dietary fiber. They are rich in
potassium with good amounts of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. They
also have small amounts of iron, sodium, zinc, copper, manganese and
selenium. Crowder peas are rich in vitamin A and C. They have a good
amount of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6 and pantothenic
acid. They also have a small amount of folate.

I am sure that George knows exactly what and how much he can eat.
Anyone who has been on a diet of any kind knows quickly learns that.

You're exactly right Susan, have been diabetic for many years, pretty
much eat anything I want, including sweets, in moderation. We've been
growing our own vegetables since the early sixties. Plus back then we
raised goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, turkeys, rabbits, and wild game and
fish. Wish I could have a trio of rabbits here, they don't smell bad,
the manure doesn't burn so it can go straight to the garden, they taste
good, and they don't make a lot of noise. Maybe I should petition the
HOA, naw, they're all city people. G

Miz Anne is making another batch of fig jam with lemons, good stuff for
later. Heat is hitting the gardens pretty hard, we're watering twice a
day, have to do that with raised beds sitting on clay. No dirt for
retention of water.

Just ordered a new pair of reading glasses, the old ones got scratched
up somehow. Oh well, got those in 2013, they had a good run considering
how I treat them.
