Diabetic Living Everyday Cooking Volume 2 (EVERYDAY COOKING, VOLUME 2)

Letter from the Editor, Kelly What can I eat? When you have diabetes, that's a thought that comes up every day-and every meal. To control my weight and balance my medication (I use insulin), I need to know just how many carbohydrates my food choices contain. That's why all of our recipes include a nutrition analysis as well as diabetic exchanges and carb choices. As a person with type 1 diabetes, I know that nutritious food helps me control my condition and feel good. That's why I appreciate this collection of healthful, lightened recipes that I can count on to fit my meal plan and nourish my family. Because the Better Homes and Gardens Test Kitchen has perfected every recipe, I know each dish will give me good results and taste delicious. "This doesn't taste like a diabetic recipe. It's yummy!" is what we hear at Diabetic Living taste panels. The registered dietitians in our Test Kitchen design each recipe to deliver healthful amounts of calories, carbs and sodium. Because they know you and I don't want to deprive ourselves, they make sure the serving sizes are ample and satisfying. They also keep an eye on the ingredients-not too many or too exotic. And they try to use healthful convenience foods, such as reduced-sodium chicken broth and whole grain bread, whenever possible. This collection will help you spend less time worrying about what tot eat and more time savoring easy, at-home cooking with your family. From Family-Pleasing Dinners to Good-for-You Snacks, there's a recipe for every meal. I hope many recipes from this book will become family favorites all week long.
