You plan for the meals. You plan for the guests. Maybe you even plan for the feeling of equal parts relief and exhaustion once the holidays are actually over. But what about all the leftovers?
Barley Hoppin’ John with Turkey Kielbasa
It’s a good luck tradition to eat black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day. Why stop there? Enjoy this hearty take on Hoppin’ John any day of the year! This dish is typically made with rice, but barley adds more fiber and an interesting texture.
Potato Casserole

Hawaiian Shaved Brussels Sprouts
There are a couple ways to shave Brussels sprouts. One way to do it is by hand—just trim the stem-end of each sprout so that it sits flat on a cutting board. Then, using a chef's knife, cut it into very thin slices. (Trimming the end prevents it from rolling around.) Another way is to use a food processor. Simply place the sprouts in the chute and let the slicing attachment do the work!
Summer Chicken Spring Rolls
With little cooking needed, these rolls are a great addition to any summer menu.

Dining Out or Ordering In Choices
Oh, the pleasures of having a meal in your favorite restaurant! Whether it’s your go-to fast casual eatery or a romantic white linen spot, dining out can be the highlight of our week—and so can ordering in. But when you have diabetes and may also be trying to lose weight, it can be hugely stressful instead—especially if you’re new to figuring your way around a menu when restrictions are on your mind. Selecting a restaurant you know has healthy options is the best solution, but that’s not always possible when others have input.

When roasted or sauteed at high heat, Brussels sprouts take on a delicious sweet and savory flavor!
