    Thanks for all the ideas! Camtosh, I have no idea what some of that is, but it looks yummy! I will look for the noodles today when I go to the store and I'm definitely getting some more cabbage to try again.

    How do y'all feel about jicama? I've been told it's a decent potato mimic, depending on preparation. I haven't been brave yet... Y'all?

    actually, my parents ate this all the time when i was a kid. It is a good potato substitute but I dont know the carb count in it. But the flavor is pretty much the same as a potato both taste and texture wise.

    click on http://foodfacts.mercola.com/jicama.html for info on jicama (I like it raw in salads, but never had looked up the nutrients/calories until looking at this thread)
    1 cup jicama = 49 calories, 11g carbs, 6g fiber, 2g sugar, 1g protein
