Perfect Meals by the Plate
Cookbooks and websites are great sources for finding recipes, but sometimes you need help putting together a whole meal! The Diabetes Plate Method is a simple way to build healthy, balanced meals with no carb-counting or measuring needed. Here we have 6 simple, balanced meals, featuring recipes from Diabetes Food Hub to help you plan meals this week.
Powerhouse Kale Salad

Main course salads like this are a great way to get more vegetables in your diet. Find this recipe and more in our cookbook Designed for One!

Onion, Shallot and Herb Frittata
Looking for a light and simple breakfast to enjoy with the family during the holidays? This frittata will do the trick. Serve it with some greens, whole wheat toast and some fruit on the side if your meal plan allows for it.
Budget-Friendly Roasted Veggie Tacos
Trying to eat a meatless, veggie-packed meal once a week? This recipe gives you all the flavor of tacos, but with so much more fiber and vegetables. Top them with avocado slices for extra flavor if you’d like.
Zucchini and Fresh Corn Succotash
Cook fresh corn on the cob for this recipe by simmering it in boiling water for 8 minutes. Let the ears of corn cool, and then use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cob.
Cilantro Lime Quinoa
Quinoa has more protein than any other grain. It is gluten-free, contains 3 grams fiber per serving, and is a healthy alternative to any recipe that uses rice. Add a can of low-sodium black beans to boost the fiber and protein in this recipe.
Super Foods Salad
The salad tastes not only super nourishing, but is also bursting with flavor. Boost the flavor even more by adding 4 Tsp. dried cranberries, 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds or a diced orange. Or choose baby arugula for the greens.
Chicken Lettuce Wraps
These low-carb little wraps are quick and simple—but they don’t taste it or look it! They're also a perfect diabetes-friendly lunch option, especially if you have a little leftover grilled or roasted chicken, such as our tasty Roasted Chicken Breasts. Having a party? No one needs to know these are super healthy. In fact, focus on the fun and let your guests assemble their own lettuce wraps!
Favorite Vegetable Soup
Making soup is a great way to get rid of some of the vegetables in your refrigerator or cabinets to help you save a few dollars. This soup is great as is but you can also replace some of the ingredients with others from the fridge that need to be used. Cost of this soup is just $0.45 per serving!
