Diabetic Recipes

Can you please show some recipes that would be diabetic-friendly, especially with less sweetener in the desserts. --Irene
Hi Irene.  I’m sorry, at this time we don’t have any recipes that are specifically developed to be diabetic-friendly. But I urge you to check out the website of the American Diabetes Association at www.diabetes.org. Their “Food & Fitness” section has a lot of excellent advice on healthy cooking in general and cooking for diabetes patients in particular. In addition, www.diabetic-recipes.com has a large number of diabetic-friendly recipes in all categories.

    We just started harvesting our home-grown asparagus, but some of it grew to giant size before we got to it.... I'd like to make some homemade asparagus soup from these giant stalks. Could you add a recipe for that? Thanks! --your "fan-grandaughter" :) JoAnn

    Dear Betty,

    Could you find me a good, low-fat zucchini bread recipe that will work at Mile High altitude? We cut back to one plant this year but we've still got so much zucchini that I fear my granite counter tops will cave under the weight. (P.S. Love that white hair!)

    Can you use olive oil for baking and have the same results? I used extra virgin olive oil in a cornbread recipe and it didn't hold together and the flavor was not there.
