A good start would be to go to Pete Romfh's postings here in asd and also to
look at alt.food.diabetic.

I bet you won't complain about how she does the dishes, the laundry, or
the cleaning! :)

Just look for low-carb recipes.  Meat, poultry, seafood, veggies, veggies
and more veggies, nuts, seeds, and more veggies.

Go to http://www.bigoven.com/~promfh and look at some of the recipes I've
posted there.
Also look at the past few months in alt.food.diabetic where a number of
diabetics share ideas and recipes.

Your wife was probably using those diabetic recipes.  Most of the diabetic
recipes I've seen are low fat but loaded with carbs.  They are aimed at
people who use insulin.  Get any cookbook you like that lists the
nutritional breakdown of the recipes.  Then make them over as needed to fit
your diet.

My husband does most of the cooking, and has quickly adapted to
diabetic-friendly cooking.  He does not use receipes;  stir-fry is
popular, with chicken breast and frozen mixed vegetables and seasoning.
Lately he added pork to the stir-fry plan.  Last night for the 2 of us
he used 6 oz of pork and a something called WestPac Quick and Easy
Combos Asparagus Stir Fry.  He cooked all this in a little olive oil
and added Tony Cachere's original creole seasoning.
Tonight we had 3 ox each of beef eye of round cooked with onions,
broccoli from a frozen bag with a little Take Control spread, and a
salad each - mostly from a Dole salad bag with some chopped carrots and
yellow pepper.

He does not consider himself a cook but he can put together something
to staisfy hunger.  He gave up chili for me; he used to make it a lot
in the winter.  Now he satisfies himself with an occasional can of
chili.

Good luck in your cooking adventures.  We don't care all that much
about variety or special tastes; when we find food and a cooking method
that works we tend to use it again and again.  There are some more
elaborate receipes out there but most diabetic cookbooks don't work for
a T2 trying for diet management.  Look around at heart-healthy
receipes.  They often include the carb count , so you can use that to
judge if it's something you might be able to use.

She's not the one that sounds like the smart-a.s.  Try google, and
alt.food.diabetic and alt.discuss.diabetic.recipe  Pete Rompth has
some very interesting menu items there and on his web site.

regardless of the food, you are going to have learn about portion
control, that more than anything else makes a meal diabetic friendly.

Hi Sedgie

First, some basics mate. Give us some idea of your cooking
competence, and I think we can help a lot.
