Great Recipes even if you're not a Diabetic!

This cookbook is printed in black and white, there are no pictures and the pages are a matte finish. So if you're cooking and you splatter something on them...it's there to stay. Perhaps that's how you know which recipes to make again, LOL. I really liked that each recipe had all the nutrition information. There are calorie counts, food exchanges, fat, carb and protein grams, etc. This cookbook is just not for diabetics. It's for anyone who wants good recipes and tasty dishes. I really liked the Italian Peasant Salad. I do not have diabetes, nobody in the family does...I just like good cookbooks and making new dishes. This is one for the record book. The Toasted Almond Chicken Salad I am making using the left-over turkey from Thanksgiving instead. The cookbook also has a month of meals, it includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. With all the recipes included and which pages they can be found. What an awesome idea, I wonder why more cookbooks don't incorporate these little extras? The chapters are divided into breakfast, lunch, dinners and speed meals. There are no dessert recipes for the obvious reason. And I won't make broccoli now without using oil infused with saffron. That was just delicious. All the food ingredients call for fresh, bottled sauces, bottled salad dressings, dried or fresh herbs. Basically items that can be purchased at a regular grocery store. Gotta appreciate that. You won't be disappointed in this cookbook especially if you're not a diabetic. You definitely will not find flavorless food in this cookbook. Buy!
