re: diabetic recipies

I have a tip that you may find helpful, that is when trying to figure out low cholesterol v low fat v low carb or good carb and bad carb etc., go with "LITE"!

allrecipes.com has a healthy food page where you can look at low glycemic index recipes.

Get to know your carbs real well!!!!

Be sure to get enough protein in your day with snacks like peanut butter, eggs, tuna fish, etc.

Serving size is critical in measuring your nutritional units of fats/carbs/proteins etc.

Remember that carbs are not bad for you, it's just that a diabetic person's body treats carbs differently.

As previously mentioned, a Diabetes Educator and/or Nutritionist will be a big help.

....will be thinking about some recipes to post for you....

Sorry, didn't mean to be vague about location, it is for Baton Rouge.

And thanks for mentioning my post count.
I have been an avid reader of TigerDroppings.
I am quite shy about posting BUT imo, my first two posts were quite appropriate.

Catering Suggestions

Posted by sweettiger on 1/20/09 at 1:57 pm
I am asking all of the good people here to suggest a caterer that can provide lunch and dinner 4 or 5 days a week for a small group (say, less than ten).

The price needs to be reasonable.

The food should be good with adequate protein and a good nutritional profile.

I know it might be impossible, but I thought I'd ask.

Thank you very much for any ideas you may have.
My two favorites sites were already mentioned (allrecipes, recipezaar) so I'll share these:

This is the first page (of 3) of special recipes. I just ignore the cookbook and radio stuff.

The other 2 pages linked here at his homepage.
(NOTE: This is where I found the recipe for Hudson's Maurice Salad, Mmmmmm)

If you have a few days to look, you can peruse Uncle Phaedrus. Quite interesting.

OK, my first post here.

Here's one of Destin's best kept secret!!!

Dewey Destin is a real casual place where you eat ON the water. The city was named after their family. It is the closest place to eat from crab island. Can park your boat and dine. They are not in any dining guide that I have seen. The grouper parmesan, scallops, and crab dishes are wonderful. Everything served in those plastic baskets, which is ok by me. Must go early unless you don't mind waiting in line. Mostly locals.

Location: From Destin head towards the Destin Bridge (between Destin and Ft. Walton). Take a right at the last street before the bridge. Take a left at the little sign, down sorta an alley to the restaurant.

Hope this post isn't too late for you to enjoy this place.
