Some Favorite Diabetic Recipes Books

The Diabetic Dessert Cookbook

I love The Diabetic Dessert Cookbook. It's a wonderful diabetic recipes dessert book. When the author's husband was diagnosed with diabetes, nutrition consultant Colleen Howard took to her kitchen, concocting 117 tempting treats which her husband had assumed were forbidden, including candies, cakes, cookies, pies, fudge, and fruit desserts. All recipes comply with guidelines established by the American Diabetes Association. Out of all the diabetic recipes books for desserts, this is a personal favorite. I give two thumbs up, for sure. Mostly because of my sweet tooth!

The following is a recipe from this cookbook.

Citrus Candy

2 cups orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit rind cut into 1" square pieces.

6 cups of cold water

1/8 teaspoon of artificial sweetener

1 cup powdered ismotalt

Wash the rind well. Cut away inner skin from rind. Cut rind in 1" squares. Put rind, water, and sweetener in 2 quart saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cook until water and sugar substitute are completely absorbed by rind. Once absorbed, remove from pan and place the cooked rind on wax paper to cool and dry. When cook enough to handle, role the rind in the ismotalt. Return coated pieces to the wax paper. Let the rind dry for 24 hours. Wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap. Store in refrigerator or freezer.

Yield: 24 1" square 1/2 deep per piece.

The recipes are great, especially the desserts. The Carbohydrate Choices is a great counting device. I find it simpler to keep track of what I'm eating with the carbohydrate choices counter. I'm not the only one who gives these recipes a thumbs up. People in my family who aren't diabetic approve too! Lauren G. From San Francisco California.

I'm a snacker by nature. I have to really limit my snacking to make sure that I'm going to still be hungry for dinner. :) This is a wonderful book with an array of snack options AND some snacks can double as a meal. It makes it perfect for us busy people. If you are like me then the Snack Attack! Guilt-Free Treats For Healthy Munching is the perfect book to keep on hand.

American Diabetes Association Guide to Healthy Restaurant Eating

With families becoming more and more busy. Quick and easy meal times are becoming a must. Most days its best to try and cook, but if you are out and about and stuck with hunger pains, then you need to carry this book with you. I love that it has all the favorites in here. American Diabetes Association Guide to Healthy Restaurant Eating breaks down all the nutritional analysis. I origianlly tried American Diabetes Association Guide to Healthy Fast Food Eating, but found it not to have as many choices. The Guide to Healhty Restaurant Eating has more than 5,000 menu items from more than 60 chain restaurants. Two Thumbs Up! :)
