It's hard to find good food recipes for food that's appropriate for diabetics, so post your best recipes here. I've been scouring the internet and found some good recipes. (I've also found some God-awful nasty ones too
I'll go first (note that I eat low-carb/high-fat, so if you're watching your fat intake, this recipe is probably not for you). I follow the recipe pretty much as-is, but I cut it into 10 servings instead of 8 and cover it with sugar-free jam/jelly. It's also pretty good with other sugar-free gelatins. I particularly like the raspberry.
Ingredients:
1 (3 ounce) package sugar-free lemon gelatin
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 (8 ounce) packages low-fat cream cheese
1 cup boiling water
Servings: 8
Units: US | Metric
Directions:
1 Stir the boiling water into the box of jello, mixing for about 2 minute.
2 Add the cream cheese and lemon juice.
3 Mix until all lumps have disappeared.
4 Pour into an 8" square pan and chill until set.
5 Cut into 8 squares.

1 head of cabbage, cored and chopped
1 stick of butter
1 large white onion, sliced
Melt the entire stick of butter in a large skillet over medium heat, add onions and cook until carmelized. Add cabbage a little at a time until it wilts, and cook for 20 min. over medium low heat, covered.
Eat. Lots of it. Leftovers are good too, reheat in the microwave or over a double boiler. Cabbage is great for gut flora.
Slovak depression recipe from great grandmother, except she added noodles or potatoes to it. I have found that it tastes the same without them.

Edit to add: that sounds freaking delicious! (but I'm a cabbage fiend)

(43,049 posts)a couple of years ago when I was in full baking mode I experimented with replacing most of the flour with chopped cauliflower.
It worked and made good bread, but I can't find my notes and haven't had time to redo the experiments.
Anyone is free to play with the idea since I won't get around to it again soon. Squashes, and other such stuff worked, too, but not so low carb.
