Easy Diabetic Dessert Recipes

If you are a diabetic and are curious about experimenting with desserts, then I encourage you to consult your doctor first. Your doctor will have the information that you are looking for and will help to guide you on the right path. After you do this, your doctor may even refer you to a nutritionist.
This is what I ended up doing and it worked out great. I know it costs a lot of money, but I can put a price on how much it helped me. My nutritionist explained all kinds of things that I was unsure of and helped me to develop a meal plan.

Anyways, once I was educated about the foods and such that my doctor advised me to have, it was much easier to compile recipes. Note that the "diabetic dessert recipes" that I have now are not what most people would actually call a dessert, but they serve as something new and great to me.
My doctor had told me that it was okay to have apples, so what I did was to start brainstorming healthy ways I could prepare an apple and what I could pair it with to create an easy diabetic dessert. So I found a product called cool whip, most of you have probably heard of cool whip, and decided to use it for my recipe. Cool whip had a very low amount of carbohydrates and sugars. It is also available in a sugar free version.

The best way that I could think of to prepare the apple for the easy dessert recipe was to bake it. This makes the apple tender and warm and ready to eat in no time. Then all I did was add a little cool whip for a creamy taste, and my easy diabetic dessert was complete. I know its not much, but it tastes great.

Try This Tangy and Spicy Beef Soup and it is Okay For the Diabetics, Too!

I am a person who could eat soup everyday all-year-round. If you like soup, too, try this Tangy and Spicy Beef Soup for something new. This soup is made with steak, vegetable broth, vegetables, pasta, spices, etc. Served with a crusty bread, cornbread, or assorted crackers, it is good no matter how you serve it. If you have family members, like my husband, who think they need steak instead of soup, well here you go. They get their steak in their soup! For a healthier soup, or if there are diabetics in your group, I recommend you use whole-wheat pasta.

TANGY AND SPICY BEEF SOUP

3/4 to 1 lb beef round tip steak
1 can (approx. 14-oz) vegetable broth
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup julienned carrots
3 tbsp lite soy sauce, divided
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper or red pepper flakes
1 oz uncooked angel hair pasta, (about 1/4 cup broken up)
2 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup sliced green onions
Cut the steak lengthwise in half then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips.

In a 3-quart saucepan, combine the broth, 1 1/2 cups water, mushrooms, carrots, 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce, the vinegar and red pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil; reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a nonstick skillet in 1 tablespoon olive oil, if needed, stir-fry the steak pieces to brown lightly.

Add the angel hair pasta to the broth mixture and simmer for another 5 minutes. Mix the cornstarch and the 1/4 cup water until smooth; stir into the broth. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the beef to the soup and remove from the heat. Cover the saucepan and let stand for 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the remaining soy sauce and the green onions. Serve immediately while still hot.

Yield: 4 servings.

Top Five Recipes For Diabetic Meal Plan

In previous days many housewives used to divide their meal planning for the week into five main recipes. For instance Monday used to be their meatloaf day. On Tuesday they normally serve pork chop and Wednesday was reserved for spaghetti. This method no doubt was convenient. Even if somebody didn't want to stick to that particular routine; still it was better to have some recipes under the belt. Nowadays we generally do not eat like people used to do in previous years. Diabetics must adjust their eating habits. There are many delicious recipes they can eat.

Top five recipes are mentioned here for diabetics.

Chicken Vegetable Pasta: Cook chicken in oven and then cut it in small pieces. Boil some pasta. Add mixed vegetables into water in which pasta is being boiled. Drain pasta and vegetables and take it out in a bowl. Add some salad dressing and then add shredded lettuce and dressing.

Spanish-Style Egg Roll-Ups: Dice onion, pepper and some cayenine. Add these into a pan of scrambled egg. Sprinkle cheese on top. Spoon in a tortilla and simply roll it.

Go Green Pasta: Cook pasta and put it aside. Heat olive oil in skillet and add some green beans, broccoli, green onion or zucchini. Add few drops of water and cook until the vegetables are done. Mix pasta and vegetables. Finally top with cheese.

Baked Chicken with a Zing: Take skinless, boneless chicken breasts. Marinate it in Italian dressing. Place it in the fridge overnight. Roll it in a mixture of herbs, bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Put it in a pan and bake it at 350 degrees for around 30 minutes or until brown. Serve with fresh vegetables.

Cream Cheese and Jam Toast: Mix creme cheese (low fat) with a spoon of strawberry jam. Spread it on whole wheat toast.

How to Make Diabetic Friendly Blueberry Cheesecake Bars

Check out more food recipes!

Yes, we diabetics like desserts, too! I have always had a sweet tooth and would prefer dessert over the meal any day. Since becoming diabetic, about four years ago, I have put a lot of effort into coming up with desserts that taste, well almost, as good as the old desserts I loved. These delicious Blueberry Cheesecake Bars can make you forget you are eating "diabetic dessert"!

SPLENDID BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE BARS CRUST:

1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs*
1/4 cup Splenda Granular
1/3 cup butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
Combine the graham cracker crumbs, Splenda granular and butter; mix together well. Firmly press the mixture onto the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.

FILLING:
12-oz cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup Splenda Granular
2 large eggs
1/3 cup sour cream
2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup fresh blueberries
TOPPING:
1/4 cup reduced-sugar apricot preserves
1 tbsp water

With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese at medium speed until smooth. Gradually add the Splenda, beating until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the sour cream and vanilla, beating just until blended. Gently stir in the blueberries. Pour the mixture over the crust in the pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until firm. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Combine the preserves with the water in a small saucepan. Cook mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the preserves melt. Spread over the filling. Cut into twenty bars before serving.

*If you are worried about the sugar in the graham crackers, substitute some sugar-free butter cookies, crumbled fine.

For this dessert to be healthier, use reduced-fat cream cheese and reduced-fat sour cream. This will not hurt the recipe.

Enjoy!
