Fix-It and Forget-It Diabetic Cookbook

So I got my first two review copies of diabetes books last week (the publicists have found me!).  What fun!!  The first is a new, diabetic version of the "Fix-It-and-Forget-It" Cookbook series by New York Times bestselling author Phyllis Pellman Good (published in cooperation with the ADA).

With my big family, I love the idea of preparing meals ahead for an easy serve-up at dinner time.  Now I don't happen to own a slow-cooker, but they seem to be very convenient -- and also very trendy at the moment (anyone care to send me a slow-cooker to review?!)  And I'm also gluten-intolerant (remember?) so there were a number of recipes in this book that I had to ignore. 

But there are hundreds of recipes sent in by people from all over the country (the publishers apparently culled through all the previous "Fix-It" recipes and made "adjustments" for diabetic eaters). What I like is the fact that there seem to be A LOT of good ideas about what to do with things I normally struggle with, like lamb, venison, and yes -- vegetables, including a half-dozen recipes for squash alone, and at least 8 for sweet potatoes. In short, the book's bound to be a nice addition to the kitchen of any diabetic with a slow-cooker, for sure :)  This one costs $18.95, and can be purchased on the ADA site HERE.
