Summary: Do-able recipes for everyday!
Review: This cookbook features meals from salads to desserts as well as snacks and special treats for better health for everyone. With recipes from Better Homes & Gardens Diabetic Cookbook, meals can be made considering the needs of a diabetic without 'singling-out' that person with an unusual plate of food. These are delicious meals with the food exchange system used (a list is at the back of the book for making following meal plans easier). Even attractive garnishes are suggested so these recipes can be used to appeal to more than just the palate. Normal ingredients in the pantry or easily purchased at the local grocery store make these meals do-able.This is a practical purchase for any home and a must-have for those with diabetes.
