Talk the Walk

It's Super Bowl weekend and while I am deciding on what to cook for the event on Sunday, I realized that I am not 'talking the talk or walking the walk'. The premise behind PaMDiF is diabetes education; which includes knowing your sugar score, eating right and exercising more. I love to cook and bake sweets.
I know my score; it is below the diabetic range but my husband, Tom, has Type 2 diabetes and takes medication to keep it under control. I don't think my cooking has helped...so, I'm turning over a new leaf. I dug out the diabetic cookbooks once again and shopped for fruits and vegetables to make healthy recipes this week.
If I don't share my successes, it will be for not. Therefore, somewhat like Julie from the movie Julie & Julia, I will share my diabetic recipes in a blog but unlike Julie, it won't be 524 elegant recipes but simply taking one week at a time, preparing a meal in under 30 minutes after a long day at work. The goal: cooking healthy meals to lose weight, feel better and help Tom get off his diabetic medications! We can do it!
And, I know, Julie could not possibly prepare Mousse de Foies de Volaille in that tiny apartment kitchen! Mine is twice the size of hers and I only have room for two pans at a time on the counter!
I know you are sitting at the edge of your seats wondering what DID I prepare for Super Bowl Sunday...well; we had a healthy breakfast of scrambled egg with spinach, grape tomatoes and diced ham, and whole wheat English muffin. About 2:00, we were ready for the Super Bowl snacks. I cooked turkey kielbasa in cranberry sauce and Dijon mustard, and then sautéed onions, peppers and top round steaks. To stay in super Bowl tradition, I made a plate of nachos - I know - doesn't follow a diabetic diet but we are easing into it slowly!
At game time, I served sugar-free/fat-free chocolate pudding with fat-free Cool Whip...yummy!
