Quick and Easy Low Carb Cooking for People with Diabetes or Country Living Eating Outdoors

Quick and Easy Low-Carb Cooking for People with Diabetes

Author: Nancy S Hughes

Healthy low-carb solutions for people with diabetes

The Quick & Easy Low-Carb Cooking for People with Diabetes is designed just for people who want to simplify the cookinghealthy/ eating-healthy process. These easyto- follow recipes and meals already have carbs calculated for readers so there is no math for them to do. The book is divided into three sections, containing breakfasts, lunches, and dinners.

Based on the "carb choice" exchange system, where one carb choice equals 15 grams of carbohydrates, the book provides meals with three, four, and five "carb choices" to fit many meal plans. Each section contains meals with three, four, and five carb choices.

Readers get to choose how many carbs they want! There is also a snack section of one and two carb choices.

Recipes include:

  • Cheesy Tortilla Rollers
  • Morning Shortcakes with Vanilla Blackberries
  • South of the Border BLT Wrap
  • Seared Sirloin with Sweet Balsamic Sauce

Nancy S. Hughes has written seven cookbooks and contributed to 20 others --including several for the American Heart Association, Betty Crocker, and Better Homes and Gardens. She has worked on cookbooks for Cooking Light and Weight Watchers.

Publishers Weekly

Country Living editor-in-chief Nancy Mernit Soriano aptly captures the tone in her foreword: "whether cooking for a gathering in your garden or packing a basket for a romantic picnic... the recipes and tips you'll find on the pages ahead are ones you're sure to revisit again and again." Classic favorites include Deviled Eggs, Creamy Macaroni Salad, Glazed Bacon- and Cheese-filled Burgers, and Grilled Lemon-Tarragon Chicken. There are some small twists, such as and Lavender and Pepper Steak, but most dishes are deliciously predictable. Bright, attractive and tasteful photos showcase the simple freshness of each dish. Also included in this solid cookbook is helpful information on both charcoal and gas grills; recipes for basic condiments and dressings (like mayonnaise, pickle relish and hot mustard); refreshing drinks (pink lemonade and pineapple cooler); and all the desserts you'd expect, like Fresh Berry Shortcake.
