Summary: Delicious and easy recipes!
Review: There are some real treasures in this book. My favorite recipe is Tortilla Pinwheels. I easily increased the amount of each ingredient so that I could share a plate of them with the rest of my family and with friends. I also love the Egg 'N Muffin recipe, and have used it for a quick dinner several times, again by increasing the amount of each ingredient. I can't wait to get ONE POT MEALS FOR PEOPLE WITH DIABETES and find out what the author has included in that one!

Summary: Healthy, great-tasting munchies!
Review: These munchies are not just for diabetics, they're for anyone who likes to snack on healthy foods. I especially enjoyed the Apricot Kuchen - I love apricot desserts! The recipes are very easy to prepare - and quick too.

Summary: Finally, a good recipe Book!
Review: This book is wonderful!. I was a notoriously bad dieter, which makes being diabetic even harder. This book shows servings sizes, exchanges, and is extremely easy to read and follow. The author manages to drastically cut the fat content of food without sacrificing taste and quality. The book has so many easy and tasty recipes in it that I have actually managed to turn around my eating habits. I would highly recommend this book to anyone - even a skeptic like me! Thank you Ruth Glick... I am forever grateful!

Summary: Decent collection of simple recipes
Review: This book offers a decent collection of recipes that are pretty simple to prepare, which is convenient if you have some guests over for something casual and feel like "noshing." But after going through it, only about 30% of the recipes ended up appealing to me (out of 175). Everyone has different tastes though, so you can't necessarily go by that. Some of the recipes are just a little bit too simple (like the "nachos" recipe that pretty much just melts cheese on fat-free chips and serves it with salsa and sour cream). I really didn't need a cookbook for that one. She does use a lot of pre-packaged, canned, and frozen food mixes (like frozen veggie stir-fry mixes) so you really can toss some of the recipes together in a hurry for an impromptu get-together. Some of the recipes were a bit high in sugars for me, upwards of 22 and 23 grams of sugars per serving, but there are some desserts that use sweeteners like Splenda that were appropriate. If you're looking for recipes you can get on the table quick, then this might be what you're looking for. If you're looking for something extravagant, then you may not find a whole lot in here.

Summary: Delicious Snacks
Review: This is a great recipe book. I've tried many of the dishes, and I've never tasted one I didn't like. I particularly love the sweets like the pecan buns, the vanilla custard, the pumpkin spice muffins, and the honey almond scone cake. But I also love the way Ruth has come up with healthy versions of some of my favorite snacks--like deviled eggs, guacamole, and nacho dip. I don't understand the comments I've read about strange ingredients. One thing I like about this book is that all of the ingredients are available at the grocery store.

Summary: One of My Favorite Cookbooks
Review: This is one of my favorite cookbooks. Before I got it, I was in a real snack rut. But this book has certainly widened my appreciation of snacking. One thing I like is the way the author gives you options. You can buy a crust for her Barbecued Chicken Pizza or make your own, if you're in the mood. It was fun to find out I could make things at home that I thought I could only get in a restaurant, like Egg Rolls and Pesto. There are even a couple of healthy versions of "Egg 'N Muffins." Some recipes are for things you eat right away. Others make bigger quantities, so you can eat some now and then have something yummy to pull out of the refrigerator.
One chapter is devoted to food for kids. And there are all sorts of neat recipes designed to make it fun for them to eat healthy snacks. Two of the recipes are named "Celery Man" and "Aladdin's Pizza." And there are directions for turning canned pear halves into cute little mice.
I also like the chapter on appetizers for grownups, like cocktail meatballs and chili con queso. When I bring them to parties, everybody loves them.
