I was shopping for veggies the other day, and noticed a rack of magazines in the veggie department. What caught my eye was a new magazine from Better Homes and Gardens called "Diabetic Living." Apparently this was the premier issue.
It's wonderful! The first section held lifestyle tips, and information about managing diabetes. The second section was an incredible range of recipes, made over to fit a diabetic's needs.
We've found a LOT of recipes, on-line and in cookbooks, that work for Dear Husband, but I've never seen so many recipies in one place that I would be willing to try.
We picked up an eggplant at the Farmer's Market, and I have two recipes for chunky spagetti sauce that would accept cubed eggplant nicely. And better yet, half of each recipe could be frozen, so that on the days when I don't have the time to do an entire meal from scratch, I have most of a meal ready to go. That's a major issue...needing to be careful about what we eat, even when there isn't preparation time. I also like the idea of cooking once for two meals, just as a time saving device. One of those recipes was done in a crockpot, so that would save me even more time.
Where to I sign up to subscribe? Congratulations, BHG on your new mag!

Awesome, there are ceratainly enough diabets to make this magazine venture worthwhile, and for those of us not afflicted by diabetes the healthy way of life of a diabetic is a worthy avenue to explore.

I totally agree, Desiree! I am astounded at the number of baby boomers who are facing the onset of diabetes. Our fast food and junk food habits are coming back to haunt us!
This magazine is exceptional. Unfortunately, the issue I found was a trial issue, and it's not in regular production yet. If you see it, snap it up, and fill out the questionnaire at the back to encourage them to produce the magazine.
