Fresh and Fun Diabetic Meals
The library has received two new diabetes cookbooks that are sure to please the most discriminating palate, whether you are a diabetic or not. The first book is Fast and Flavorful: Great Diabetes Meals from Market to Table by Linda Gassenheimer. Both titles have been approved by the American Diabetes Association, so you can be assured that the recipes are healthy and can fit into your lifestyle. The recipes in this book are packed with flavor and can be made in minutes simply because the author lets the supermarket do most of the preparation. The cookbook is packed with ethnic and comfort food recipes Each recipe includes a shopping list with the ingredients listed by department and can be purchased at your local supermarket. Gassenheimer also includes a section of cooking staples that you should keep in your pantry and fridge so that you only have to pick up a few things at the store when you decided to cook. I especially like the jerk shrimp with rice and peas recipe or the spaghetti bolognese with herbed zucchini.
The second cookbook is The Diabetes Comfort Food Cookbook: Foods to Fill You Up, Not Out! by Robyn Webb, MS. The cookbook begins with a chapter on comfort food starters (my favorite) and even includes a section on one pot and skillet meals and desserts. My favorite recipe in this book is the Chinese Five-Spice Steak with Chinese Noodles. Each recipes include easy-to-follow directions, and a list of exchange choices along with the nutritional values. Both of these books will give you great ideas to spice up your boring meals and eat diabetic-friendly meals that are healthy, interesting and delicious!
