5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE this cookbook., March 20, 2009

This review is from: Fix-It and Enjoy-It! Diabetic Cookbook: Stove-Top and Oven Recipes--For Everyone! (Paperback)

I am a newly diagnosed diabetic so I was more than a little afraid about what I was going to be eating. I thought that flavoring food meant throwing a lot of salt in it. This recipe book has been a god send to me. I have been cooking out of it for 3 weeks now, making one meal a day from it at least, and have loved everything. The meals are so flavorful.

One thing that I don't like about this book is that there are no pictures of what the finished product should look like. I didn't take a star out of that though since the recipes are so amazingly easy to follow. Not to mention that they are simple recipes that even a novice cook can easily pick up. Believe me, I am a novice cook!

Another important thing in these days is budget. So many of these cookbooks want you to go out and buy exotic things. This isn't the case with this book. My grocery bill has actually gone down. I just sit down and decide what I am going to have for dinner eat night for two weeks and then write down everything I'm going to need. A good number of times the recipe calls for things that I have on hand anyway. And sometimes the recipes even call for a lot of the same ingredients.

I'm rather shocked that anyone has been disappointed with this book so far. With the nutritional facts and portion sizes broken down for me already, I don't fear what I am eating so much. For someone newly diagnosed with diabetes, eating is a scary thing. This has really helped me to learn all about portions and how to really ENJOY the food I am putting into my mouth.

Nicely organized cookbook. Not hard for the newly-diagnosed diabetic to follow. Has good info in it for the diabetic, and what recipes we've tried so far have been tasty. Wish it had pictures of the prepared food, though.
