Stacey, this is my favorite cookie recipe (the secret is lots of butter and some good sugar free syrup): click here. I use ground walnuts instead of almond flour because it's cheaper. I just grind them in a food processor until they are fine.

Carol, here is a link to my favorite lentil recipe.

I have learned to cook to help myself. It's been very enjoyable and I get compliments on quality. Many recipes came from The Light and Tastey magazine and have become family favorites. It has helped me be more creative to make simple dishes of my own.
Snacks..yogurt with fresh blueberries or cottage cheese with strawberries or blueberries or even a few baby carrots with the cottage cheese...boiled egg...turkey or ham deli lunchmeat wraped on a string cheese with a little bit of red pepper hummus is a favorite.

To Yvonne C who asked about snacks, here are some that I like:

Trail mix (without chocolates), nuts, raisins and other dried fruits aren't too bad, cheese (either string cheeses or cut up pieces of cheese), baby carrots, sugar-free cookies, sugar-free jellos, puddings, & yogurt, crackers with cheese or peanut butter (it's not low-carb, but you can eat a limited number plus insulin and the cheese/peanut butter slows the digestion of the carbs so there's less sugar "spike").

Thanks Susan for the suggestions. That's a big help. I sat in on a webinar@fit4d the other night. Good group. Mind if you ask something? I tried looking it up on the internet but couldn't find the answer. What do all the initials after your name mean. CDE - Certified Diabetic Educator, RD - Registered Dietitian but what are MS, RD?

Does anyone have any suggestions for low-carb snacks that won't spike sugar levels? I am getting bored with my current snacks of celery sticks and similar foods.

Take Care!

It is possible to eat healthy without doing too much cooking. A light meal could be something quick that is thrown together such as light yogurt, a piece of fruit and a few walnuts. One of my favorite on the go breakfasts is a boiled egg (cook several up ahead of time), fruit, and a peanut butter foldover. Convenience foods are loaded with salt so try to stay away from them when possible. One thing that may help with cooking is to cook once and eat 2-3 times. Example- cook the entire bag of brown rice and freeze it in small portions. Just re-heat when you want some. Same for pasta. Cook several chicken breasts and freeze those as well to have on hand for salads, soups, casseroles, etc. When making a casserole or lasagna, make 2 and freeze the other. Pretty much anything can be frozen for a quick, no-cook meal. Good luck!

Hi I'm don't enjoy cooking, but I have been doing it all my life. I need to focus on improving my eating habits and find it difficult to find a proper balance of carbs + fat plus everything is loaded with salt. I would appreciate any help/support I can get from people who know about what food are best to eat for controlling BS Type 2
Thanks Gail L
