Real Food for People with Diabetes (Revised 2nd Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you're looking for "Chicken Florentine with Julienne Carrots on a Bed of Couscous," then this may not be the cookbook for you. However, if you are after a wonderful, basic cookbook that provides lots of familiar recipes that your kids and husband will enjoy, and won't take your forever to prepare, then look no further.
My kids (3,7,9) and husband have enjoyed the dishes I have made, and I'm not feeling like I can't eat the things I am used to and like; mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, broccoli and rice, and lasagna, to name just a few. And because diabetic exchange and nutrition information is provided for each recipe, sticking with my food plan isn't a problem.
I also really appreciate the fact that the author gave me information on several products that she has found that help to keep the dishes tasting "normal" in spite of the fact that they're low-fat. She provides information on where to get these items if they're not available at your local store.
The section with baked goods has recipes that sound wonderful, but they call for Nutra-Sweet, which I am NOT very keen on. I do wish it gave the amount of sugar you could use as an alternate. All other parts of the cookbook I am very happy with.
I'm so glad a found this cookbook and I would absolutely recommend it!
