Mushroom Burger
If you’d like, you can add a slice of reduced-fat Swiss cheese to these burgers. Cheese will add extra calories and fat, but not too many carbs. For a lower carb version, serve the burger in a lettuce wrap instead of a bun.
Coffee-Rubbed Steak
Fragrant coffee and spices infuse the steak with a unique smoky, spicy flavor. Use half the steak for dinner tonight, and save the other half to make Beef Fajitas later in the week. While the steak is resting, add a little more oil to the pan that you cooked the steak in, and use it to sauté sweet potatoes or other vegetables like bell pepper, squash, or green beans. Your side dish will pick up flavor from the pan, and you'll only have one pan to wash! Find this recipe and weekly meal plans in our book, The 12-Week Diabetes Cookbook by Linda Gassenheimer.
