Synopses & Reviews
Foods help to identify us--who we are, where we come from, what customs we observe. Maybe Thanksgiving just wouldn't be the same without Grandma's candied yams, or the Fourth of July just couldn't happen without those deviled eggs that you love. Unfortunately, when you have to consider calories and exchanges, some of those foods that meant the most to you suddenly become forbidden. This book was written to help you reclaim your favorite foods.
Forbidden Foods Diabetic Cooking features 150 new recipes for the foods that you love. Learn how to create healthy versions of:
- Nachos

So, next time you're faced with cooking for a family gathering, don't feel guilty--make a dish you love and rest assured that your meal choices are always welcomed, never forbidden.
