Diabetes Snacks, Treats, and Easy Eats for Kids: 130 Recipes for the Foods Kids Really Like to Eat

By Barbara Grunes

Book Overview

When children come home from school or sports, they want a snack. Not some gourmet meal, just something simple and tasty and quick to fix. For those with diabetes, these snacks can be especially hard to come by. And with incidence rates rising sharply -- one in three American children born in the last five years is expected to become diabetic -- it's a problem more and more families are facing. This book offers a happy solution, with 130 recipes for the types of things youngsters really like to eat that are also healthy and help them stay within diabetic guidelines. It contains a wide array of choices for every meal of the day and to satisfy every hunger pang in between, with healthy renditions of favorites like Pizza Puffs, Chicken Nuggets, Taco Salad, Turkey Quesadillas, Puffy German Pancakes, Strawberry Sundae, Mini Chocolate Cupcakes, and many more.

Great snack, breakfast, lunch, and dessert recipes all kids are sure to love! An easy and fun way to try new foods, too. Every recipe is made from a short list of ingredients and are quick to make for anyone short on time. I can't wait to eat everything in this book! My kids will be so happy eating, they won't notice they're eating healthy.

Great Book!

I am using this cookbook to give to families that have children with diabetes. I chose this cookbook because the recipes are not long and involved and do not use specialty ingredients. The recipes are short, nutritious and each is followed by nutritional data. It makes it very easy for the children to count their carbs! Great cookbook! Leah M., RN
