Lazy Woman's Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

Tagged with:

Great for me as a diabetic as the cake mix doesn't have much sugar added and makes alot ... Very simple, takes very few ingredients great for a bare cupboard treat ... Takes very little time and effort yummy to me as Iove peanut butter and chocolate cookies ... Its hard to find a recipe thats not going to spike my blood sugar, warning its not a low carb recipe, just no extra sugar added! Makes enough that the sugar already in cake mix doesn't seem to matter much for my bg ... A little crumbly

Cranberry-Granola Blondies

From EatingWell July/August 1995: "Packed with dried cranberries and low-fat granola, these firm bars are excellent travelers, full of complex carbohydrates, vitamins and trace minerals." I haven't tried these yet, but they're on my list of things to make. We use a granola full of sunflower seeds, pepitas, almonds, flax seed and pecans -- so the additional seeds and nuts would add to the fiber content (well, and the fat too). Exchange one-half whole wheat flour for some of the AP flour for

Whole Wheat Pancakes With Blueberry Compote

low-fat, recipe

Published Oct. 17, 2009 at 10:00 a.m.

This is a refresh of a Wholeliving.com recipe. Martha Stewart's gang opts for low-fat buttermilk, but I never have that on hand so I trade in 2% milk or vanilla soymilk -- depending on what's in the fridge.The added wheat germ supplies some potassium and iron (it has more than any other food). I also add a teaspoon of cinnamon (because I love it) and cut the whole wheat flour with some all purpose flour so they don't taste too "nutty." To make the compote, you can use fresh or frozen blueberries

Our toddler can't get enough of these and neither can we! They're moist and healthy muffins that are packed with lots of nutritious ingredients. Sometimes I top them with granola or a brown sugar streusel. They're heavy enough to fill a little one's tummy and keep them going all morning long. Tasty and low fat! -- posted by MamaGanoush ...

Steamed Kabocha for Low-Sugar Diets

Tagged with:

low-sugar

Published Sept. 6, 2009 at 7:05 p.m.

Guam's selection of locally-grown vegetables is limited and many of them are unfamiliar to stateside Americans ... One example is the kabocha, also known as Japanese pumpkin or kabocha squash ... The Filipinos use it in stews and the Japanese use it in tempura but I experimented to make it a healthy side dish (kabocha is full of beta carotene and also has iron and potassium ... good stuff). -- posted by Cooking_on_Guam ...
