    How to Make Cucumber Guacamole

    Who doesn’t love a great guac? While avocados are so good for us and we can enjoy them on a daily basis, minding the serving size is key. Whenever I make guacamole, I try to complement the avocado with a vegetable to bulk it up and reduce the amount of avocado in the recipe. Cucumber is great because it is refreshing and does not alter the flavor. Zucchini would be great too. Serve with sliced radishes or jicama instead of tortilla chips for a low carb snack or appetizer.

    How to Make Smoky Shrimp Tostadas with Chipotle Mango Slaw

    I don’t know anyone who does not love Mexican food. It has gone mainstream! Nowadays, you can really find all sorts of Mexican ingredients all over the U.S. One thing I have noticed is that the flour tortilla has truly taken over and many people have forgotten about the corn tortilla. Corn tortillas have a great flavor and are much healthier than flour tortillas. One flour tortilla has 110 calories whereas one corn tortilla has just 50 calories! And of course, who can go wrong with shrimp, mango, and chipotle!

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the tortillas, one at a time, and cook until lightly toasted and crisp, about 3 minutes on each side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
    2. Whisk together the mayonnaise, lime zest, lime juice, chipotle chilies, adobo sauce, honey, and salt in a large bowl. Add the coleslaw, mango, and cilantro; toss to coat well.
    3. Sprinkle the shrimp with the chili powder. Heat the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, in batches, and cook, turning occasionally, until just opaque in center, 2–3 minutes.
    4. Place the tortillas on each of 4 plates. Top each with one-fourth of the coleslaw mixture and one-fourth of the shrimp. Serve at once.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. To a large bowl, add peaches, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon avocado oil, and toss gently.
    2. Preheat a medium nonstick pan over medium heat. Add peaches to the pan and lightly brown them on both sides. Transfer to a small baking sheet and place in the refrigerator.

    4. Preheat a medium nonstick pan over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon avocado oil. Wait 10 seconds and then add corn. Lightly brown all sides of the corn. Transfer corn to a small baking sheet and place in the refrigerator.

    Cinnamon Flan

    How to Make Cinnamon Flan

    You might be asking yourself, “How can it be possible to have a flan in a diabetes-friendly cookbook?” I have to tell you that this happens to be one of my favorite desserts in this book. The magic trick was not using condensed milk and using fat-free evaporated milk instead. Of course, a flan is not a flan without caramel. And for caramel you need real sugar. I used just enough caramel to make this dessert delicious but still guilt-free.


    10 min prep time


    5 hr cook time


    8servings


    1 wedge with 1/3 cup raspberries

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
    2. Combine the sugar and water in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the caramel is lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Immediately pour the caramel into a 2-quart round baking dish, tilting the dish to evenly coat. Set aside until the caramel is cool and hardened, about 10 minutes.
    3. Meanwhile, combine the milk, evaporated milk, sugar substitute, cinnamon powder, and cinnamon sticks in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the vanilla and let stand 15 minutes. Remove the cinnamon sticks.
    4. Beat the eggs in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk into the milk mixture until well blended. Pour into the baking dish.
    5. Place the baking dish with the flan mixture into a 9 × 13-inch roasting pan and fill the roasting pan with enough hot water to come one-third of the way up the sides of the baking dish. Bake until the custard is set but jiggles slightly in the center, 50–55 minutes.
    6. Transfer the pan to a rack; let cool 1 hour. Refrigerate until well chilled, about 3 hours or overnight. To unmold, run the tip of a small knife around the edge of the flan. Place a large flat plate on top of the flan and flip it over. Cut the flan into wedges and serve each wedge with 1/3 cup raspberries.

  • Caldo Verde (Green Soup)

    Caldo Verde (Green Soup)

    How to Make Caldo Verde (Green Soup)

    This classic Portuguese Soup is satisfying in every way. Traditionally, the soup is done with water, but chicken stock adds greater depth of flavor in this recipe. Chicken sausage instead of the traditional chorizo makes for a more diabetes-friendly dish. The kale adds a vibrant green color that gives Caldo Verde it’s name. Feel free to play with different types of greens like collard greens or spinach.
    *Look for fully cooked chicken sausage (your choice of flavor) with <500 mg sodium per 3 oz link.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large soup pot, add the sausage and cook until it’s lightly golden all over, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the sausage from the pan, transfer to a bowl and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
    2. Meanwhile, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan. Add the garlic and cook until it just starts to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until it’s soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Then add the potatoes and mix well, allowing them to get hot, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, about 4 minutes.
    3. Add the cooked sausage back to the pot along with the chicken stock. Cover the pot and bring the soup to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer gently until the potatoes are just cooked and fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
    4. Add the greens and cook at a gentle simmer until the kale is bright green and wilted, about 5 minutes. If you want to prepare the soup ahead of time, hold the kale and add just 5 minutes before serving. Season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper for heat.
