Book Description

Publication Date: August 28, 2006

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.

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

2.0 out of 5 stars Recipes for DIABETIC kids????, January 24, 2011

This review is from: Diabetes Snacks, Treats and Easy Eats for Kids: 130 Recipes for the Foods Kids Really Like to Eat (Paperback)

I'm sorry, I'm a little confused about the rave reviews others have written for this book. I found recipe after recipe calling for white potatoes, white flour, bananas... are these foods not the very foods listed under "foods to avoid" in most every Diabetes reference guide & website????? And the claim on the cover of the book that these are recipes for the foods kids "really like to eat"... how many kids do you know who LIKE tomatoes (which are in many of the recipes)????? I know maybe one out of dozens of children including my children & their friends who I often cook for. Many of the recipes simply replace sugar with a sugar substitute and that makes them diabetic friendly I suppose. Gee, coulda just taken that one simple hint and not bothered with the book.
