[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Barley Pilaf - 29g Carbs, 6g Fiber, 1g Sugar

 

Barley Pilaf - 29g Carbs, 6g Fiber, 1g Sugar

Barley can be found in 2 forms, hulled and pearled. Pearling removes almost a third of the grain, making it quicker cooking and reducing some nutrients. Hulled barley takes longer to cook but has a higher nutrient content and a pleasant, toothsome chewiness. This pilaf recipe is a simple way to enjoy hulled barley.

1 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup hulled barley
2 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
Kosher salt
1/2 cup small pieces of broken spaghetti (about 2 oz)
Freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp chopped fresh chives

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly golden brown, about 6 minutes.
Add the barley and stir until the grains are just coated in butter. Add the broth and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover and simmer 20 minutes. Uncover and quickly stir in the spaghetti; cover and continue to simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed and the barley and spaghetti are tender, stirring once more, about 15 minutes more. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and sprinkle with chopped chives.

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Slow Cooker Gingerbread - 8.58g Carbs, 4.10g Fiber

 

 Slow Cooker Gingerbread - 8.58g Carbs, 4.10g Fiber

From: asweetlife.org - Carolyn Ketchum
Cooking a cake in your slow cooker is not only easy but results in an amazingly moist, dense consistency. It's more like an old-fashioned steamed pudding and it doesn't need much more than a bit of whipped cream on top for garnish. As since we are entering holiday season, I thought a slow cooker gingerbread was in order.

2 1/4 cups almond flour or sunflower seed flour
3/4 cup Swerve Sweetener
2 Tbsp coconut flour
1 Tbsp dark cocoa powder
1 1/2 Tbsp ground ginger (or more, if you like it really gingery)
1/2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, melted
4 large eggs
2/3 cup almond milk or water
1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice (if using sunflower seed flour – helps keep it from turning green)
1 tsp vanilla extract

Grease the ceramic interior of a 6 quart slow cooker well.

In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour or sunflower seed flour, sweetener, coconut flour, cocoa powder, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, cloves and salt.

Stir in melted butter, eggs, almond milk or water, lemon juice if using, and vanilla extract until well incorporated.

Pour into prepared slow cooker and cook on low for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, until set.

Serve with lightly sweetened whipped cream. It also makes a great breakfast treat with a little smear of butter!

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Crustless Basque Quiche

 

Crustless Basque Quiche

With tons of taste but little fat, this light and luscious quiche is the
perfect choice for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Serve with fresh fruit salad.

3 Tbsp bread crumbs
1 tsp canola oil
1/2 cup green onions, chopped
2 medium Roma tomatoes, juiced and chopped (about 3/4 cup)
6 oz ham, OR Canadian bacon, chopped (about 1 1/4 cups)
1/2 cup roasted red pepper, chopped, from a jar, patted dry
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp cayenne
1 cup nonfat half and half
1 cup egg substitute
1 cup mozzarella cheese, reduced fat, shredded

non-stick spray. Dust the bottom and sides of the pan with the
breadcrumbs and set aside.

Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the
onion; saute 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and saute until beginning to
soften, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the ham
and bell pepper. Spoon into the bottom of the prepared pan.

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Puffies

 

Puffies

This is a quick and easy recipe for cream puffs that can be filled with
everything from whipped cream fillings to tuna salad to fruits and
berries to ice cream to sugar-free puddings, the list is endless.

Nonstick cooking spray
3 Tbsp butter
1/3 cup water
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup plus 1 Tbsp whole wheat pastry flour
1 large egg
1 large egg white

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Spray a large baking sheet with
nonstick cooking spray.

In a heavy pan, combine the butter, water, and salt. Bring to a boil and
reduce the heat to low.

Add all the flour at once, and stir until the globby mix begins to pull
away from the sides of the pan and form a ball (film will begin to form
in the bottom of the saucepan).

Remove the pan from the heat and let cool for about 3 minutes. Add the
whole egg and then the one egg white, one at a time, beating vigorously
after each addition. The mixture will become smooth and shiny.

While the pastry is still warm, use a tablespoon to spoon the dough onto
the prepared baking sheet, making 8 mounds.

Turn the oven up to 450 degrees, and place the baking pan in the lower
third of the oven. Bake for 15 minutes, and the dough will be well
puffed and lightly browned.

Quickly turn the oven back to 300 degrees, and bake 15 minutes longer
until golden.

Carefully cut a small slit in the side of each puffy, and allow the
steam to escape. Turn off the oven, and leave the puffs in the oven to
dry for 5 minutes. Remove and place on the racks to cool. Slice the
puffs in half, and if there's damp dough inside, hollow it out with a spoon.

Fill with your filling of choice and pop the top back on to complete
your puffy.

Braised Fennel - 10.9g Carbs, 3.9g Fiber, 1.9g Sugar

From: www.peakmarket.com

2 bulbs fresh fennel     
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 lemon, juiced

Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste

Cut fennel in half lengthwise and then into wedges. Heat oil over medium heat in heavy pan large enough to take all fennel wedges in a single layer. Place fennel pieces in pan and brown in oil, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with lemon juice, sugar, salt and pepper. Stir once.

Bring liquid in pan to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 20 minutes. Check and stir occasionally, adding a very small amount of water if necessary to prevent the fennel from sticking.
