I wanted to cook dinner for my grandpa, and I’m not sure what to make. He is diabetic, but not brittle or anything. Last time he was in the hospital they actually didn’t put him on a diabetic diet, but should still watch the carbs and sugars.

I know his favorite dessert is tirimisu, and he is really a steak and potatoes guy. I was thinking of some sort of coffee-peppercorn rubbed beef tenderloin?

Any ideas?
Nationality would be American for many many generations, but with a Scotch-Irish heritage, and growing up in Missouri ie, a mix of midwestern, southern, and German cooking traditions.

He actually was in Germany for several years in the army, though.

please dont answer this question with cook books and web addresses. im looking for meal ideas for me and my boyfriend. can be quick and easy or things that take time to cook. does anyone have family recipes i could try? im just bored making the same things all of the time. what makes it hard is i just found out im diabetic and im on a carb restricted diet. but any meal ideas you have could be paired up with salads and veggies. anything different with chicken or ground beef? any other meats would be fine, im just not sure how to cook much else. any different seasonings? things i could make in a crock pot that i could throw in before work and be done when i get home? im just so bored with my dinner routine lol helpppp…

My dad was diagnosed with diabetis just months ago. And this Christmas I am giving him the best present in his life. I want to collect recipes for diabetics, that are delicious and inovative. I am a great cook, but to tell you the truth, have not thought about food low in sugar, fat etc. Does anyone know, what would be the best recipe book out there or web site where I could get resources for great diabetics food? I want to start trying out the new way of preparing food as we speak, so if you have a good portion of knowledge or you are diabetic yourself, please help me out. Our whole family will thank you saving my dad.

My mother in law is allergic to cocoa and dairy. Also, she’s diabetic, so she can’t have sugar really. I’ve got the sugar thing figured out ( Xylitol), but I was wondering if any of you know some good tasting DESSERT recipes I can make for her (specifically for Mothers Day coming up).

Can anyone else me or give suggestions??

Want a sugar substitute, maybe splenda or any you suggest for banana creme pudding with the vanilla wafers. Yum!!! Please Help?

I am diabetic and want to substitute Splenda for Equal when cooking. I’ve never use it before, and would like to get some feedback on it . How do I use it while cooking?

I need a recipe for flan for a person who is diabetic. My father just found out that he has diabetes and he is really bummed because I always make flan for Christmas, it is his favorite dessert, but now he’s all sad because he’s not supposed to be eating stuff like that. I’m looking for a recipe that I can make for him, because he’s already bummed about the diabetes and I know it would kind of cheer him up if he had something that he was used to.
Does anybody know if Splenda will melt?

I work at a place were we take care of adults with disabilities. we recently found out that one of the women that we take care of is diabetic. She has to cut her carbs way down. less than 65 a meal and 20 a snack. She loves foods like lasagna, pizza with the thick crust, pasta. Now she hasn’t been able to eat any of that because the carbs are too high. The other staffs’ answer is to buy boxed meals like what she likes to eat because they have lower carbs. It breaks my heart because this woman will cry and say that she wants home made food. I want to find a diabetic cookbook that gives a wide varitey of low carb recipes for all meals ( breakfast, lunch, and dinner) and also some snack ideas. I want to take this book to my boss and show that we can still give this woman a good homecooked meal without going over her carb limit. I truly think this would make the woman that I take care of very happy, and hopefully cut down on some of the deppression, even if only a couple of us staff actually cook from the cookbook. Does anyone know of any cookbooks like this? I would really like to find one that lists the nutrential (mainly the carbs in each dish) value on the recipe page since we have to document what she ate and exactly how many carbs she eats. Please help me try to make a young woman’s day. It would really mean alot to me and her.
