This is a user-friendly cookbook that addresses the health and dietary needs of Pre-Diabetics, juvenile diabetes, Type I and Type II diabetics, women with gestational diabetes related to pregnancy, those with diabetic-related complications, or anyone seeking to embrace a healthier diet and lifestyle. Medearis provides 125 inventive recipes specifically designed to meet the nutritional needs of diabetics (and those who dine with them) that re-create the hearty, satisfying rich flavors and textures of traditional, cultural dishes and comfort foods.
There are recipes for breakfast like Pumpkin Pancakes, Spicy Asian Chicken Noodle Soup for lunch, afternoon energizers like Apple and Oatmeal Bites, main dishes such as Spicy Pork Chops with Fiesta Black Beans and Corn or kids favorites like Spaghetti Pizza Pie. And don’t forget desserts such as Dark Cocoa Kises that taste too decadent to be low in sugar and calories.
Each chapter contains a section with recipes specifically designed to meet the nutritional needs of children with diabetes. The fun, kid-friendly menus include recipes for breakfast, snacks, school lunches, dinners, desserts, and celebrations. The easy-to-prepare, and budget-friendly recipes are perfect for planning daily meals and month-by-month menus for entertaining and special occasions.
