I noticed you include wine in a lot of your recipes, I love cooking with wine however I am a recovering alcoholic, I know the alch. is burned off but I would rather not have it in the house, any subst. beside de-alched. wine.
Thanks

My Parents love eating, both of them are diabetic. Give us more guides or tips to avoid eating fatty foods and more carbohydrate.

Try Zevia, Sugar Free, All Natural Soda. The Cola is the best. We diabetics need to stay away from artificial sweeteners.

I am a diabetic and I love to snack on dry cereal. When I go to the store to purchase them they contain so much sugar on it. Which is the best cereal to snack on? And I also love orange juice and since that is not allowed in the diabetic diet what sugar free drink mix can I buy to have that orange juice flavor?

Kashi makes some very low sugar cereals, try the 7 grain one! There is also a recipe for 7th heaven apple bake with kashi and oatmeal (i subsitute apple juice for where it says cane juice). It's out of this world!

I have recently been diagnosed as having type 2 diabetes. I do not know how to cook or what to cook to satisfy my taste & what type of sweets I can have.

I use the juice of a fresh grapefruit in recipes that call for white wine, and a little diluted grape juice with lemon juice in it for red wine. Works great!

I just started usign Insulin, and over weight. Nothing I eat seem to hold me especially what can I do. I'm in th kitchen 11:30 at night cooking, making MeatLoaf sandwiches.. Help!
Sharon, Burleson, TX |
My taste is more to home cooking. Normal stuff like rice, pizza, sandwiches, and etc. I am on the go. I don't have the time to plan, shop, and cook. The recipes sound ok but I would not eat them all the time. I have switched to brown rice, thin crust pizza and small portions.

Using unsweetened juice are a great substitute for wine in cooking. Cherry for Red and White Grape for a white wine. Trader Joe's is a great resource for them at a reasonable price too.

Im from africa, i 2 years now in Germany but since i came here my blood sugar is always high some docs gives me tabs some tells me i need only diet and to walk alot cos maybe in future i can be diabetic. What shoul i eat?

In the text above, you state, "(and between 1 to 2 1/2 carbohydrate servings). However, practically all of featured recipes have many more carbohydrates; quite confusing!

I often substitute Chicken Stock for wine in recipes (depends on the recipe of course). You might try it to see if it works for you.

I am a diabetic, type 2 and carefully count my carbs. I am doing great, but want to know what I can have for a an occational alholic drink without it disburbing my sugar levels low or high.

Our parents are in their 80's. Dad is non-insulin dependent but takes Januvia. I need simple snack recommendations for him. Our Mom eats "Boost" and yogurt twice a day for a snack. Now she's complaining of nausea. I need snack recommendations for her. She needs calories. They receive meals on wheels for their suppers. Please keep it simple.

Your recipes are great.That said,many of us live in areas where many of the ingrediants can't be found or markets simply do not carry these items.Do you have any "dumb down"diebetic recipes for those of us that live in whole food challenged areas?
David A. Meeks, Scottsboro, Al |
