[jwharv]

I would like some good diabetic recepies if anyone has some to share.

I do.

However, until I heal better from my recent surgery I will have to wait.

I am doing minimum posting as of now.

Down Home Greens Sauté


Leafy greens are brimming with nutrients—a real springtime tonic. Smoke and salt from the bacon balance their slight bitterness. You can use any combination you like, and I urge you to try ones you have never tried before. At this time of year, they are at their most tender and sweet. If there are tiny turnips attached, so much the better. —Suzanne Butler, Culinary Consultant

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 7 minutes
Serves: 4
Serving Size: 1/4 of the recipe

Ingredients

# 1 ounce Canadian bacon, lean
# 3 cups collard greens, fresh
# 3 cups turnip greens, fresh
# 3 cups mustard greens, fresh
# 1 teaspoon olive oil
# 1 cup onions, chopped

Preparation

1. Cut the Canadian bacon into small pieces.
2. Remove and discard the stems from all the greens, wash and cut into ½-inch strips.
3. Heat the oil in a high-sided skillet on medium high. Sauté the bacon and onions together until the onions are wilted, 2 minutes.
4. Add the greens, stir to mix and reduce the heat to medium. Cover and cook 5 minutes, or until greens are tender—but not mushy. The greens should still be green!

I'm getting confused here. I thought Diabetic recipes were things that deal with sugar????

Basicly it is any recipe that is designed to help manage your blood sugar. However I don't have any recipes for diabetic desserts and would like some if you have them.......

jwharv, I have a small diabetic cooking cookbook that came in the mail a few weeks ago. I've tranferred the recipes I wanted to my recipe cards in the kitchen. If you'd like for me to mail you this recipe book, just PM me your mailing address and I'll be glad to send it to you--and you can keep the book, I don't need it back. There are a few dessert recipes, as well as some other recipes for people on a diabetic diet.

I'll also send some recipes that I use for sugar free desserts at the Young at Heart dinners we do at our church.
